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

It's great and very durable

These are hands-down, the most comfortable work boots I’ve had to date good quality seemed to last a long time and easy to get on and off. These are my go to. They’re super light also compared to other boots I’ve had which is really nice. The design of the tread makes them incredibly grippy on expanded steel grip surfaces, and steps.

I wish they would have put a loop on the tongue to be held down without your trousers getting caught.

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 hated these boots, they’re very uncomfortable

I need one more day to return the boots

Workday Warriors for Happy Feet Finding the right work boots feels like a never-ending quest. They're either heavy as lead, pinch in all the wrong places, wear out after a few months, or just generally make you dread putting them on in the morning. My job requires me to be on my feet for long stretches, often in environments where safety is paramount. I needed boots that could stand up to the demands of the workday without leaving my feet screaming by the end of it. After trying a few different brands and styles, I landed on the Reebok Work Duty Rapid Response RB8694, and they've become my workday warriors. From the moment I first laced (or, more accurately, zipped) these up, I knew they were different. They felt surprisingly lightweight for a tactical boot, and the fit was immediately comfortable. The extra-wide composite toe is a lifesaver; it provides the necessary protection without feeling cramped or heavy like traditional steel toes. Knowing they offer electrical hazard protection adds another layer of confidence when I'm on the job. The real game-changer for long hours is the comfort system. The removable Foot Force F2A cushioned insert is fantastic – it provides support and absorbs impact, making a huge difference in reducing fatigue by the end of the day. The combination of durable leather and ballistic nylon for the upper has held up incredibly well to daily wear and tear, and the rubber sole provides excellent traction on various surfaces. And the side zipper? Pure genius. Getting these boots on and off at the start and end of a long shift is quick and easy, saving precious minutes and effort. Once zipped and laced, they feel secure and supportive around my ankles. These boots have significantly improved my comfort and confidence on the job. My feet aren't aching by lunchtime, and I feel well-protected in demanding environments. They've proven to be durable, comfortable, and genuinely responsive to the needs of a long workday. If you're on your feet all day and need a boot that combines safety features, durability, and serious comfort without feeling like you're wearing bricks, give the Reebok Rapid Response a serious look. They're a solid investment in your workday well-being.

Very good and comfortable,, quality is high, and is a steel toe, I returned it because I couldn't find my size which is 46 wide, I took the available 47.5 and it was too big.

Feels tough but comfortable enough for whole day wear. only the size is difficult to choose

Lo malo fue que las ajutas de las botas no eran de la misma medida una estaba más larga que la otra. Por lo demás el producto es excelente en comodidad.

J’adores! Un produit de qualité!

Very nice boot, no issues upon inspection. Will need to put a few kms on them before I can really rate comfort and fit.
