Reebok mens Rapid Response Rb Safety Toe 6" Stealth With Side Zipper Military Tactical Boot, Black, 13 Wide US

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 againCons:*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 cusioningIf 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 just ordered a second pair of these. For a work boot they are very lightweight and comfortable with a good amount of grip and have lasted almost three years of use five days a week. Highly recommended.

Looks great, fit is accurate to size. For a non hard toe work boot, this one is hard to beat for all day comfort.

The only shoe my husband will wear. Great workmanship, durability and functionality. I will only buy this shoe/boot for my husband. I’ve bought three pairs in the last 5 years. They wear extremely well!

is a better fit for my narrow feet (they are equally as comfortable, but lack the zipper). Size of these Reebok boots is about 1/2 size big (I wear size 11, but needed a 10.5 in the Reeboks (the 5.11 Taclite boots ran true: I wear 11 and the boots were an 11)).The zipper makes all the difference in what boot lace-up system is used. You'll note that the 5.11 Taclite boots use eyelets in the fabric while the Reeboks use plastic eyelets. If the Reeboks didn't have the zipper I would not ever touch them because the plastic eyelets are a highly possible point of failure. Given that most will lace up the Rebooks and leave them laced (using the zipper to take off and put on the boot) this is not too much of an issue (ergo, no plastic eyelets on the 5.11 Taclite boots).One other observation. Reviewers have complained that there is no steel toe but that the boots are advertised as safety boots. This is neither misleading nor incorrect. Yes, they are safety boots and yes they do not have a steel toe. But the product literature tells you that Reebok chose to not use steel so that there would be no issue with metal detectors, etc. In any event, the toe may not be steel, but it still seems to offer significant protection. In the end, if you're a lumberjack or the like and need real steel toe protection then these are not the boots for you. But if you are a soldier (etc.) these are perfect boots (and as a former armored vehicle crewman I can tell you not having steel toes is a plus: I remember having a pair of steel-toed boots and they helped my feet to freeze in the winter and roast in the summer).Reebok has done really, really well in these boots. If only they would make a narrow foot version!

These are good boots but not for everyone. Made out of good quality but wasn’t too comfortable for my liking.

These are so comforting they don’t even feel like a safety shoe

These boots are SUPER uncomfortable i wore them for a few days and my feet were in so much pain I couldn’t bare it. I ket wearing them because i thought i needed to break them in but nope! I contacted the seller and advised of my situation they told me to return the product, the boots were intact. I returned the boots and then they sent me an email advising me that they decided to decline the return and there wasn’t going to be a refund after they had told me that they had accepted my return for a refund. The boots were expensive they could at least refunded half or some of my money. Again , The boots were good shape. I WILL NEVER but from this company. i WOULDNT recommend this company nor these boots to anyone out there. Please do not waste your money.
