Reebok Work Duty Men's Rapid Response RB8895 8" Tactical Boot

I purchased these boots having worn the Converse model for the past five years. First of all the quality control was not what I would have expected from Reebok, which makes me question if these were seconds or rejects that didn't pass Reebok's QC. I could be mistaken, however, I would expect that Reebok would not let these pass their QC process. The fit was larger and they didn't support my feet as the Converse model did. I could wear my Converse all day walking on cement floors without pain. With these boots, my feet started hurting after four hours. I've attached photos of the lack of quality control (foam extending out from stitching).

the RB8895 8" Tactical Boot is a comfortable boot however the quality is terrible I have only had the boot a mere 3 months and the toe is ripping out. I contacted Reebokwork.com and was told this is not a manufacture's defect and will not be covered by warranty. Really? How do you explain a toe being torn and my toes exposed not a manufacturers defect. Well since it is not a defect it must be the norm and the boot will only last 90 days. Sickening. pathetic and sad. Looking for another boot with quality this time. Updates on my search later.

I have bought Rebok boots before and found them to be extremely comfortable. I walk on average about 3 miles a day on concrete so my feet and legs take a beating but the Rebok boots really help. My first pair were the kind that featured the put them in the oven for a few minutes and them lace them up and let them cool. Those boots fit extremely well but they don't meet OSHA and ANSI regulations. These do meet the specs, they take a little more to break in but they are well worth the extra effort. Great boots! I lace my boots tightly for the extra support, because of that the side zipper doesn't work to put them on or take them off. I do think that's probably because of how I lace them.

I am a long time out of the military (30 years) but I wanted to start rucking again for exercise and wanted a good boot. I got the Rapid Response because of the side zipper (easier on and off). It took about a week to break them in but since then they have been extremely durable and comfortable! I easily average between 40 and 50 miles a week walking or rucking and these have been very good on my feet (no blisters or rubbing on my feet). Overall I am very pleased and will most likely purchase them again.

I work in construction, so I beat boots like a musician playing a battery solo, the stitching literally fell off during my first walk over the rebar. Now I rely on the glue to keep then together, so far they haven't come apart, They feel like boots unlike many comments saying they feel as sneakers, probably they haven't got a decent pair...anyways If they keep then under $100 I will buy again otherwise I will go back to cowboy bootsUptate:not even a year and they fell appart, Back to ariat

Description say it is Featuring an ASTM-rated safety composite toe. it does not. it is a soft toe boot. the RB8894is the model with the composite toe

you will ever put on your feet. There are some that have a hard time with break in, and some that have no break in at all on these. I keep two pair working, one for my work, and one for "nice" dress. When the work ones wear out or get so filthy I can't wear 'em, I rotate in the "nice" boots and order another pair. UPDATE: Just got my 5th pair of these boots as I have been wearing them (and wearing the out!) for the past 12 years. I still say, the best boot you can put on your feet!

Wow!!!! Finally Rebook made it right. It is correct sizing, it is so well made, much better then my Rothco boots.It is really, really, perfect made shoe/boot. Comfortable, easy to break it in, soft suede, and look very handsome too.You won’t regret it.I am so glad I bought Rebook.If you are into Tactical boots. THIS IS IT.

As other reviewers have commented these boots are incredibly poor quality. What’s really unfortunate is that Converse made a vastly superior quality boot that Reebok bought the rights to after acquiring Converse.These boots have none of the original quality in material or design. It’s like some backstreet shop fancied making some boots to sell for £10 down the local market.Comparing them to my originals is like comparing Rola Cola & Coca Cola. These aren’t Coca Cola. Sent back as even at £35-£40 thats £60 to much.Cheap & nasty.

Sizes are a bit nuts I take size 10uk or 44 eu and bought that size, they were far to big I gave them to my brother who takes size 46 and fits him, I didn’t get another pair. But quality and look are perfect

Size perfect, I have wide feet and these are not tight, done about 5 miles walking in them and they feel like my old boots already. A bit more information on treating them (scotch Guard) etc. would be good.

Good

Great boot, wrong size ordered but fast and hassle free replacement sent out quickly. The boots are excellent quality and are very comfortable. Only drawback, the sole gets clogged very quickly
