Very nice, high quality desert/hiking/work boots
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.

Very Nice (Unless You Have Narrow Feet); There's A Good Reason Why These Do Not Have Steel Toes!
This is a "cut and paste" of the review I did on the Reebok "high boot" version ( Reebok Men's Rapid Response RB8895 Safety Boot ). Having tried both, the comments equally apply. Here goes....These boots are really, really nice and very comfortable. I wasn't sure if I would like the side zipper, but it works well. The "pull-on" loop on the back is helpful.But if you have narrow feet you will find your feet swim in the forefoot unless you "pad" with additional (or thick) socks. If Reebok would make a "narrow" version (these "medium width" boots felt very much like "wide" boots), then we would have a SIX-star review. I've found that the 5.11 Men's 6" Taclite Boot is a better fit for my narrow feet (they are equally as comfortable, but lack the zipper). Size of these Reebok boots is about 1/2 size big (I wear size 11, but needed a 10.5 in the Reeboks (the 5.11 Taclite boots ran true: I wear 11 and the boots were an 11)).The zipper makes all the difference in what boot lace-up system is used. You'll note that the 5.11 Taclite boots use eyelets in the fabric while the Reeboks use plastic eyelets. If the Reeboks didn't have the zipper I would not ever touch them because the plastic eyelets are a highly possible point of failure. Given that most will lace up the Rebooks and leave them laced (using the zipper to take off and put on the boot) this is not too much of an issue (ergo, no plastic eyelets on the 5.11 Taclite boots).One other observation. Reviewers have complained that there is no steel toe but that the boots are advertised as safety boots. This is neither misleading nor incorrect. Yes, they are safety boots and yes they do not have a steel toe. But the product literature tells you that Reebok chose to not use steel so that there would be no issue with metal detectors, etc. In any event, the toe may not be steel, but it still seems to offer significant protection. In the end, if you're a lumberjack or the like and need real steel toe protection then these are not the boots for you. But if you are a soldier (etc.) these are perfect boots (and as a former armored vehicle crewman I can tell you not having steel toes is a plus: I remember having a pair of steel-toed boots and they helped my feet to freeze in the winter and roast in the summer).Reebok has done really, really well in these boots. If only they would make a narrow foot version!

Great workboot
When I first started wearing these, they were so stiff and hurt my feet and ankles. After a few days, I finally broke them in and the ankle pain went away. However, the insole provided didn't provide enough padding so I bought some Dr.Scholls. Now these are some of the most comfortable workboots I've ever worn. They really fit so securely around your feet and ankles. No slipping and sliding inside the boot at all. I would 100% recommend these boots to anybody. Especially if you're into the tactical look. As for sizing, I'm a 10 wide with Nike and 10.5 with Reebok. I went 10.5 wide with these boots and they fit a bit too loose around my foot. But, with my thicker work socks, they fit perfectly. So, I'm glad I went with wide. I am very pleased with this purchase and will be ordering more Reebok workboots in the future.

Great boot
These boots are so comfortable. I wear them when I go hiking, in the mountains. My feet don’t ache, and great support.

These boots look and feel great and fit true to size comfortably-10M
Exactly as described and fit perfectly! I haven't taken them on the work "road" yet but have laced up and walked about-very lightweight but sturdy with plenty of room for my feet. Would definitely buy again!
