ReebokMens Rapid Response Rb Safety Toe 6" Stealth Boot With Side Zipper

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.

These boots appear well made and are very light. My last pair of reeboks lasted years I hope these do as well.

I have bought two pairs of these boots to date and even though the construction isn't the greatest for the money/cost (I only buy these when I can get them at half off or more) I love them, why you may ask? I was disabled due a severe crush injury and I have bought and used many different brands of boots, shoes but I have have pain issues that are horrible to live with.. These shoes are all I have found that give me good fit, and allow me to walk without worrying about breaking my foot or leg! I have very little control of my left foot due my accident in which my spine was severed. Due my newest pet, a 10 month old large breed dog which ate my last good pair I now need another set but money's tight for me. Luckily I found yet another pair and will order them today!! YAY! I have decided that I will check Amazon once a week until I have at least three pairs of these boots/shoes to wear as I love them that much. They honestly DO NOT wear out that fast as some would have you believe. I do waterproof them when they are new to keep them in the best condition I can. Sorry this review got so long!

Why are all shoes shaped like an arrow? After a bunch of research I settled in this boot for work. I really wanted it to work, I even bought insoles which made it a lot better but the shape of the boot itself is wrong. This is the wide option because I obviously have wide feet but still not good enough. Not to mention the round rubber under the insole sticking out into my heel. What even is that for bro. These boots are good for women only.

This is my third pair in 8 years, absolutely love these when we camp or go off-roading.

For $140 it should come with much more durable leather. The bonded leather used in this boot is made of ground up leather scraps mixed with glue. It doesn't last. I bumped these boots on the tire of a garden tractor. I was amazed that it scuffed off almost half the thickness of the leather. This is as durable as a wet paper towel. I hope the composite toe is made better.*ONE MONTH OF WEARING REVIEW*One thing I will say is that the boots are comfortable. But, as I said, they are as durable as a wet paper towel. I'm a retired firefighter. I've spent a lot of time in side zipper "station boots" as we call the boots we wear while working around the station. I know what a good boot is. This side zip is annoying and isn't worth unzipping. I don't know how they did it but the boots are just as difficult to get on zipped or unzipped. It's like the zipper is strategically place in the most useless position, plus the Velcro zipper cover is in the perfect place to catch your sock as you're putting them on. I'm really disappointed in Reebok. As another reviewer said, the boots look years old after just a couple of months. Another reviewer said he was going back to his 5.11 brand boots. That brand is used by LOTS of firefighters and police officers. I would recommend checking them out.

Velcro on flap covering zipper poorly sewn, frayed to where it came off within the first month of use. Boot very comfortable love it other than that

This is my 3rd set of these. They are more comfortable than my sneakers. When the 1st set got a little scuffed up they got demoted to yardwork shoes. After 6 years I've just about worn them out.
