Reebok Work Men's Rapid Response RB 6" CT

I work in a steel fabrication facility, so I am on my feet all day. I do at least 10,000 steps a day in an unforgiving environment. These boots held up for two years. The wide selection fit my feet best and of course I put added arch support insoles, and they've been very comfortable and light weight. The only problem is the tongue. Even if you smoosh it down while putting it on, by the end of the day it will sneak out and you have this ridiculously long tongue sticking out, like your trying to resist the 90's, but in an absurd way. So I got sick of it, and made two tiny incisons into the leather on the top of the tongue. Ref. Picture. Snaked the laces through using a piece of wire tied to the aglet of the lace, and then I never had a boot tongue problem ever again. This is my second pair, and I will forever buy this boot. And you should also know that it is pretty waterproof. I pushed the limits a few times and had a little water get in, but we're talking about like walking through water that is almost over the boot, in a mad dash for the car, and it still did a pretty good job.

Before buying these, I took full advantage (and then some) of Prime Wardrobe...probably a dozen times. I tried the big-name boot makers- Keen, Danner, Thorogood, Rocky, Wolverine, Timberland. I tried sneaker makers- New Balance, Puma, Adidas. None of them, despite the endless claims of "energy return" and "all-day comfort", came even close to the out-of-the-box comfort of these Reeboks. The cushioning is better than nearly all of the sneakers I own, including Reeboks. The toe box is perfectly wide, with absolutely no interference with my toes, and the composite construction is impressively lightweight. The boots themselves scarcely weigh more than a pair of leather dress shoes, if at all. I've been wearing them for a few weeks now and can say that they've only become more comfortable over time, not that they needed breaking-in. These fit my 8 1/2 foot perfectly and run true to size. The soles, while agressive and offering excellent off-road traction, are slip resistant on the sometimes oily concrete floors where I work. The side zippers are rugged, easily manipulated, and have allowed me tie just one time. The tongue is generously padded, as are the heel and ankle supports, and the overall effect is like hugs from my grandma (for my feet, which is weird). If there are any complaints, it's that these aren't waterproof, though a can of quality spray seems to have solved that issue. The color, though attractive in a desert warfare sense, are a bit light in hue for what I really need. Again, a good spray has kept them clean so far. And if all else fails, these would likely be ideal for fighting the Taliban. All in all, I couldn't be happier with these boots. Buy them, spray them, love them.

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.

Comfortable, reliable, and extremely durable boots. Highly recommended—they’re worth every penny.

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 got the wide boot and it has plenty of room for a safety toe boot .

Original Review: I liked the leather steel toe work boots I had before, but they wore out and I was looking for something lighter. These are incredible. They fit and feel like sneakers but have great support in the bottoms. The only drawback is that they are water proof, a bonus most of the time, but they don’t breathe because of it. One year later: The boots still feel light and fit well but there are durability issues. I probably wore them 6 days a week since purchase. Lot of work, lot of dog walking, lot of shoveling. I thought they were water proof. I was wrong. They get wet easily and take a long time to dry, even when the insoles are out. The crease where my foot bends has seen the seams pop. Finally, the souls have worn out much quicker than I anticipated. They no longer have traction on the backs and have worn through to the under soul in spots. If you need light duty boots that last a year, these are still probably a good call. If you needs something to last, these boots aren't it. It's like Terry Pratchett wrote, "A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet" (from Men at Arms). I'll take my wet feet to a different boot this year.

I really like those boots they are lightweight and comfortable and not crazy expensive, good summer boots

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.

Es el segundo par de estas botas de trabajo que compro, las primeras hace un par de años, las utilizo en la industria de la construcción, dos o tres veces por semana, muy cómodas, con casquillo de seguridad, una buena inversión, sin duda.

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

Great lightweight boots, took a day to break in. My feet don’t sweat in them. Side zips are great for coming in and out of the house, and leaving tied up. Soles provide great traction. Will buy them again.

Product was as expected,, good quality, comfortable. Light, easy to wear,
