Men's Reebok 6" Rapid Response RB Composite Toe Side-Zip Boots Tactical Reviews, Deals, Problems and Guides

This is my third purchase of these boots. I still wear the first pair for work around the farm and they're as comfortable as when they were brand new! I will buy a new pair when I take the last pair out of the box just so I know that I have another new pair on standby. I have had multiple surgeries and procedures on my back due to an injury sustained while on active duty in the Navy and I now work in nuclear power plants where most of my day is spent on my feet on steel and concrete surfaces. This is the only boot that does not have me in excruciating pain at the end of the day! At the end of the year, my current pair becomes my everyday shoe for everything I do. It's nice to find a product of this quality (I'm hard on boots) and comfort.

This is my 4th pair and normally they are awesome from day one. They are normally wonderful with the support in the perfect places. This pair seems to be just a bit bigger and my feet slide and the supports are not where they should be. I tried heavier socks and switching inserts and it just got worse. I continued to wear them for 2 or 3 weeks, I’m not even sure now until I couldn’t stand it anymore and went back to my old Reeboks. Because of my back issues and being on my feet 8 hours or more a day, I reached my back and am working with my chiropractor to get my back straightened out again. When you work in a warehouse the right boots are critical. I am so sorry I didn’t contact you folks right away and let you know that these boots may be running larger than normal. These really are amazing boots when they fit right. This is the first pair I have gotten that seems to be to large. They really are a wonderful boot.

This is one awesome boot Reebok you finally did it never really cared for Reebok so I went with this boot after reading all the reviews. There is not one negative thing I can say about Reebok boot. If you want a boot that you don't have to break in, this is one that doesn't hurt the back of your foot this is the boot to get. It is very comfortable and the inside padding is awesome I want to order another one just for when I'm not working. I put this boot through hell and I'll tell you it still feels like it's brand new. Get your pair ASAP you'll be happy you did.

I am really impressed with this boot. Great quality. I love the way they look.
It fits my foot like a glove on the inside. They breathe well. The actual boot itself seemed a little big at first but after a day it wasn’t even noticeable. I’ve had to run a few times with these and they don’t get in the way or trip me up. A lot lighter than steel toe, (duh!) but for the size I thought they would be heavier.
I like the side zip. Although, one time I had tried to jam my foot in too quickly as I was in a rush and didn’t notice the zipper was only halfway down, and it broke. BUT it was covered under the factory warranty, and I got another pair and continue to wear them. I have the tan pair. I work in a warehouse so they got dirty pretty quickly, if you’re going to be working in dirty conditions I would suggest the brown or black version. I was very impressed with this boot all around. So much so that I bought another Reebok brand Side Zip Composite Toe boot(sublite) for casual wear. I recommend this boot for anyone that will be doing a lot of walking. I recommend buying a “work” style insole. I also bike at least 100 miles a week in these shoes and I think they’re great for that as well.

This pair of boots have been great. They kept my feet warm and dry during the winter and have been comfortable enough to wear as daily shows as it warms up. The side zipper is very secure. Havent had any issues. Easy on and off. And i know its says slip resistant but its closer to slip proof. They've kept me upright many times already as i walked across anything from snowy hills to water on the floor. Really the only complaint i have is that the top of the tongue sticks out the front of the boot and my pants get caught on it bunching them. This is good if you are blousing your pant bottoms but can get annoying if you wear your pants straight down like myself. Other than that just an amazing pair of boots.

There were three things that I didn't like about these boots:

1. They don't have speed laces at the top. For boot that purports to be "rapid response," I found that hard to believe.

2. The laces weren't long enough to tie them all the way up comfortably.

3. The side zipper wasn't as convenient as I hoped it would be. It did facilitate taking off the shoe, but putting the issue back on through the zipper slot was awkward.

I have since ordered a pair of Ridge boots that lack the safety components of the Reebok, but are very lightweight., Unfortunately, these only come in desert color.

I work in the construction industry so I go through some boots. These are by far the most comfortable. And there composite toe so you don’t have to worry about metal detectors. And the zipper on the side makes it very easy for lazy people like myself to get in and out of them

Only thing I would watch out for is welders, these boots aren’t for you.

Good boots this is my second pair. After the wear in period they are like wearing beach sandals! Well not that comfortable, but pretty close. The only thing and its a small one is the tongue on the boots will stick out and catch you pants hem when you sit down. What happens is the top shoe lace where you tie the knot slides down then the tongue opens up and you have to constantly fix your pants hems at the bottom. Just a small item but very tough boots.

I put them on when they got here and fell in love. They are the most comfortable boots I have owned to date. I plan on getting another pair for back up. I have back issues and they have stabilized my stance and posture. I am on my feet so much I wear out at least 2 pair of boots a year. I also wreck the inserts about every 1 to 2 months. These boots are so worth the price. Thank you for carrying a design that works so well for me.

Great boot. Light weight, side entry, toe protection. It looks and cleans up easily. Good grip and tread on sole. Tongue is rather large, but my pants cover that. I hope the aiglets hold up to the daily threading, it would be nice if the top eyelet was a hook instead.
