Men's Rb8694 Rapid Response Rb Composite Toe 6" Tactical Stealth Boot Sidezipper Desert Tan Military & Tactical Boots

Comfortable, good grip, zipper quality is nice, size fits perfect, it’s a little wide and makes my feet look a bit thicker but overall it’s good quality and protects my toes from work environments

These are EXACTLY the boots that I was wanting to get for a couple of years now. The color is the exact color that I wanted, not too light, not too dark. I have almost this exact boot, except the other one I have was made by Converse and is sage green, but they were bought out by Reebok. Now, I can see that the quality has not changed, and the only difference now is the brand name: Reebok (now) vs Converse. I was worried at first that I had ordered the wrong width (wide), because my converse model is a 10 (M), and that one fits just right. But when I tried these on, they fit perfectly, just a tiny bit on the loose side, but that's fine, because it allows for better air circulation. As other reviewers have noted, the tongue of the shoe is just a little too thick, but otherwise that is the only drawback that I can tell. Another reviewer suggested that the zipper be placed more to the front, but I've had no problem getting the boots on with the zipper's current location. I very rarely get compliments while wearing boots/shoes, but I have received compliments on these. I cannot vouch for the durability of these boots as of yet, and so will edit my review in a year's time. Pros: *Aggressive styling *High quality, smooth, nubuck leather *Soles designed for grip on slippery surfaces *Composite toe protection (not steel), which makes this boot airport friendly as it says on the tag *Easy to put on and take off due to the location of the zipper *Very comfortable to wear for long periods *Stiffness of the boots enhances ankle support making this great for hiking *High quality FLAT laces - keeps the laces from being untied unlike other boots with round laces, so I'm not constantly having to tie my boots over and over again Cons: *Tongue of boot is a bit large, especially at the top of the boot *Fits slightly large *Very Stiff, Takes a good period of breaking in - almost like wearing a ski boot *Could have a little better cusioning If these boots are as good as my Converse ones, then I would definitely buy again. But we will see how well these hold up in a year's time.

I didn't pay attention that I was ordering the safety-toe version of this boot. I would NOT have chosen that because I don't really need it. They have a composite-toe construction, not steel toe. This is not my first pair of safety toe boots so I understand that they don't flex as well as the non safety models. That makes them a little stiff. Also, the pull loop is a little small for my finger to easily slip into when I need a little help pulling on my boots. Otherwise, I am very happy with these boots in the first month of wear. I have been wearing them for a few hours a day, slowly breaking them in. The boots are not waterproof but I ALWAYS spray waterproofing on my fabric and suede shoes and boots before wearing them. Also, the weatherproofing helps to keep them clean. So far, the traction seems good but I have not tried them while on a wet, slick floor. I will never buy another pair of tactical, hunting, or work boots with lots of padding without the zipper. I also have a pair of UnderArmor tactical boots with the zip side but these are superior. The zipper works great and there is a leather tab with velcro strip to cover the zipper at its highest point. I may add pictures of the insole and the foot bed later. The Reebok website describes the boots as follows: "The EVA midsole, embedded Shock Eliminator heel cushion, and Foot Force® F2A footbed work together to provide all-day cushioning and comfort." I cannot argue with that. I was pleasantly surprised about the heel cushion and the footbed cushioning. Overall, I think the boot is a good looking boot that goes well with khaki shorts and long pants. I would have preferred a little darker khaki, but for the most part these are some good looking boots. Just remember to condition them with suede cleaner and conditioner from time to time and of course, spray them with several coats of waterproofing.

I swear by these boots, theyre light weight and super comfy. Ive been wearing these for almost 20 years when they were converse branded. Currently own an 8" and 6" side zip and both are as reliable and comfortable as the day I bought them. My 8" are non side-zip and virtually indestructible, but I did have to replace the zipper on my 6"s 4 years into wear with a more durable heavy duty metal zipper.

Ordered these for my husband. Since day 1 he put them on he says they are the most comfortable boots he has ever put on. Going on a little over a month now. Awesome buy and would recommend to anyone. He had foot pain from his old pair to no pain at all!

Probably the worst boots I've ever tried on. I like Reebok. Worn their shoes for many years. Remember Exofits?. But these boots are not good. I'm on my feet all day. I wear a size 10 and have "normal" feet. No wide, flat or high arch issues. No jacked-up toes. Just normal feet. Upon trying on, these boots immediately have no arch support, have a very wide toe box and are very, very stiff. Very cheap feeling. Like something you would expect from Walmart. Tongue is thick and has unfinished edges, making it scratchy where it rubs. Insert is not comfy. Very flat and stiff except for that Reebok logo. It's a thick silicone pad. That feels good, except it highlights the rest of the insert's lack of comfort even more and jacks your heel up in the air. They look great, but I've worn enough boots in my time to know what's good and what's not going to work. I usually wear Magnums or Thorogood. Excellent right out of the box. These are going back. Sorry Reebok. Stick with shoes.

Original Review: I liked the leather steel toe work boots I had before, but they wore out and I was looking for something lighter. These are incredible. They fit and feel like sneakers but have great support in the bottoms. The only drawback is that they are water proof, a bonus most of the time, but they don’t breathe because of it. One year later: The boots still feel light and fit well but there are durability issues. I probably wore them 6 days a week since purchase. Lot of work, lot of dog walking, lot of shoveling. I thought they were water proof. I was wrong. They get wet easily and take a long time to dry, even when the insoles are out. The crease where my foot bends has seen the seams pop. Finally, the souls have worn out much quicker than I anticipated. They no longer have traction on the backs and have worn through to the under soul in spots. If you need light duty boots that last a year, these are still probably a good call. If you needs something to last, these boots aren't it. It's like Terry Pratchett wrote, "A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet" (from Men at Arms). I'll take my wet feet to a different boot this year.

These boots are fantastic! I have order some other brand boots (which were the same price) and these boots right here, beat the other! Comfortable and light after a long days work. Which is specially important to me cause the last thing I want to deal with when I get home is sore feet. Oh, added bonus the boots do NOT set off metal detectors at the airport!
