Reebok Men's Rapid Response Rb Safety Toe 8" Stealth Boot with Side Zipper Military & Tactical

These boots replaced a pair of Magnum Opus Mids which were of poor quality and construction.(As stated in my review for Opus, stay clear of the Magnum/Hi-tec brand. Boots are complete junk and their customer service is the worst on the planet.They don't appreciate Law Enforcement or Military contrary to their bogus website)The Reebok boots are well constructed with good quality materials. Boots do have a safety composite toe not to be confused with a steel toe. I do feel safe in them. I've used Reebok work boots in the past and they've been solid performers. I wore these boots for the first time over the weekend (6-9 hours days). My job as a Range Safety Officer requires lots of standing, reaching, kneeling, and walking. Boots were extremely comfortable with no break-in period whatsoever. My feet were not fatigued and were very comfortable during the course of my day. I sprayed the boots with Kiwi Camp Dry Heavy Water Repellent as I do with all my footwear as it did rain after my shift. Boots repelled all the water and had no signs of water penetrating. There is no indication that the boots are water proof just weather proof so spray them often to conserve them. As of now, the boots feel solid and I'm hoping they continue to perform like they have. SIZING : The boots do run a little big so get a half size smaller. I normally wear a Size 9 but purchased an 8 1/2 regular based on some of the reviews. The half size worked well for me with no discomfort.

These are nice solid boots. They are true to size but are a BIG boot. Not your 59 dollar flimsy junk. They are thick , heavy duty boot. Very comfy and finally a normal sized toe box. Most shoes now made in China are smaller then sized . Only slight set back is they are a little bit harder to put on then most I have worn . But the comfort and fit once wearing makes up for it . Also the tounge of the boot could be a little thiner . If you have been buying the 59 dollar ones treat yourself to these you will be glad you did .

impeccable pair of boots for overall utility and comfort, great grip, easy to put on take off etc. my favorite work boots ever.They are comfy enough that I wear them around the house as well when outside doing yard work or whatever. I have hiked in them extensively, they are still good, but not perfect for this because of the composite toe. after a long hike my toes were a little uncomfortable due to the uneven ground often forcing them against the composite toe.I had the exact same boots but older and the lighter color, but literally identical. the old ones never had any issue until after 2 years of daily abuse one developed a hole, THIS PAIR however, had a tiny issue that upset me, the velcro zipper restraint, the most unimportant part of the whole boot, tore off of the boot side (first week of use), but not all the way, leaving me fighting it each time I used it until I cut it off. still great boots, that just annoyed me since the older pair didn't have that issue after 2 years of abuse. that's the only reason it's not getting 5 stars from me

Being prior service with injuries. I am really hard on boots. I have to have something rugged with a lot of support. I've had these boots for a month, and I'm IMPRESSED!The tread design on these boots is the best I've ever seen. They work well in all types of terrain. The leather and canvas have held up so far and the fit is as perfect as it gets. If you have a wide foot, order wide sizes. These boots are designed for foot and ankle support. They are snug. That being said. It took over a week to break them in. The zippers are very high quality also. For being polymer. These zippers are super well made.Since the boots arrived. I've logged over 200 hours in them, and can't find a negative aspect of these boots. Other than the uncomfortable break-in period. We will definitely be ordering more of these boots in the future!

PROS-extremely comfortable-lightweight-can walk several miles in them without my feet hurtingCONS-they don’t last nearly as long as i wish they would’ve-the inside by the back of the heal starts to tear away can be solved by putting duct tape at the back of the healOverall for the price they’re pretty good. I’ve worn danners mostly before but my work pays for $150 for boots. Unfortunately i walk about 7-8 miles a day at work and they only last about 6 months. If you don’t walk as much you will love them

This is my second pair after 5 years with the first pair. The first pair are desert tan in color and are still wearable but for my work I needed to get another pair after 5 years. These have been good boots. The side zipper makes taking them off and on easy and I do not feel the zipper on the side. The tread has been good. I did have some trouble on icy areas. The treads clean out sufficiently after walking through the mud. break in time is very short. They feel more like basketball shoes than boots.

I love these boots, I work Construction, and i've always worn the Big leather boots. I saw a guy wearing these and asked them about them. I have to say that they're like wearing tenor shoes to work. They are comfortable. They are light, so you don't feel like you're dragging your feet around. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in the construction field and with the high price of the big comfortable leather boots. These are significantly cheaper and more comfortable.

The fit is a full-size too big. Order 1/2 to 1 size smaller than usual unless you have really wide feet. Otherwise, these are nicely made, supportive and comfortable. As other reviewers mention, the ankle zipper does rub uncomfortably at first but, after 2 short days of break-in all is good. I used these on a ropes course and they worked well. I could easily get my feet fixed on the cables and steps, which would have been hard with a less flexible boot. Still, protection seems good. I feel like I can wear these all day and, even run in them. Only concern is the fit is large...
