Customer Reviews Reebok Royal BB4500H2 XE

I loved these shoes. So much so it's the shoe I have bought for the last 9 years. I know these shoes inside out. I guess all good things come to an end. I ordered a new pair of these. They are not the same shoes. I could see that at first look. After 9 years and about 11 pairs of these, they are not the same shoe. They don't feel the same. Look the same. Not even close to being the same. The bottom is real bad. Real cheap material is used. I will look for a better shoe this one no longer works for me. Sad day.

Looks better in pictures than in real life. The BB in the name must stand for Bus Boy because these are generally worn in the restaurant industry rather than the basketball court. Unless you are trying to get injured I would not recommend these for any basketball related activities.

Make it with real leather not plastic i. If I would have purchased them at a store I would have returned them plastic just don't cut it . Because I got them online I don't want to deal with the return shipping . I will just donate them

the label and detail says one thing and the size is totally different

The size feels way bigger, i always wear the same size but this one is definitely bigger

It could have been better if it a real leather. So I won't recommend it.

Narrow toe box, anyone with slightly wider than normal feet get the wide model. Footbed is moderately uncomfortable, not really sure what I expected for a 55$ sneaker.

I don't have a wide foot. I've never had this issue before but these we're unwearable they were so narrow.

Worn the shoes sense the 90s. Love them but can no longer find size in a wide. They are much too tight. had to send back.

This shoe, that is an 8.5, feels like a size 9. It also has really long laces.

I have narrow feet and these caused blisters on my pinky toes the first time I wore them. Unfortunate because I liked the style.

fair . used to be wider . now too tight . dont know why you changed

Have been wearing a version of this shoe for 30 years, but now, they only make it in one width and it is too narrow in toe area.

Way to narrow, I tried to break them in but too painful and I don't have a wide foot. I don't think i can even give them away too narrow.

she runs small so one should order a half size larger

New version of product is made in Philippines and the old version was China. New version is almost 1/2 inch smaller in width though the same size of the shoe was ordered. Not sure why same size shoes are different widths

Not the Reebok of yesteryear, and for a basketball sneaker, this time that's a bad thing. The shoes are a full half-inch shorter at the ankle than my last pair, which I held them next to and used for comparison, and the material, while more comfortable and flexible, is actually too much so. The result is less shoe and far less support than in the past, and it's the support I needed and is the reason I bought these shoes, two pairs this time. I actually expect to play basketball in these, and run, and work them hard, and what I got was not to Reebok's past standards, not fit for my purposes. These sneakers might be great for something else, but they're not the Reebok basketball sneakers I thought I was buying, and they're definitely a notch below the quality I need to stand up to what I'm hoping to do. Beyond that, shiny plastic instead of leather around the lace holes (which really could have used a metal eyelet, and which don't even line up front-to-back when you try to lace them the first time) crack immediately, and I question whether I can lace these often and not rip right through the material. There is some quality to these, but it's sub-standard, and not worth the price of admission.

Feels stiff and flimsy. Size was true but still was uncomfortable to wear

Too narrow. Basketball shoes should be wider. These are narrow like classics.

Supposed to be hard tops and they're not they are med and he wanted high tops

Run to big and narrow. Hurt to wear. Only had them on my feet once for about 1/2 hour. Took them off and haven't put them on again.

Its great to see these sneakers online for sale they are my husbands favorite sneaker and hard to find. Great product.

Very flat cushion and the toe box runs extremely narrow

Do not use these to play basketball. While they may have worked for the sport in the 80s, they don't compete with modern basketball footwear. The cushion, support, and grip all feel off. They may work as a daily shoe, but I find them too ugly.
