Customer Reviews Reebok Work 8" Rapid Response RB

I've worn these boots for just under a month and they wear great, I have replaced the insoles as the new style have a "hump" on the heel that is rubber vs the rest of the fabric insole.

I bought these a year ago and are THE best boots ever! It is a safety tie and are lighter than my tennis shoes! Would of gave 5 stars if soles didn't get chewed up by ballast and if you could put insoles in. Size fits just right! I have super narrow foot and high arches which does not allow for insoles but I'm a lifetime buyer of these!

Great comfortable boots. But within 2 months of wear. The velcro band broke, and the zipper pulled apart. This is the 3rd pair I've bought, but the first to break like this.

They feel like a wide despite being a medium. Comfortable

We were issued these entering the academy for the security force of a not-well-known federal bureau back in early 2020. We spent several weeks doing nothing but weapons training on the range, which meant standing relatively still for most of the work day. UNfortunately, the out-of-the-box experience with these boots SUCKED!(later realized it was due to the HORRIBLE in-soles in these) My heels hurt SO much after the 1st week, it was mind blowing. Enough of the rest of us complained about it that they made a temporary special exception to the training uniform, allowing us to wear our own desired fully enclosed footwear. When I replaced the in-soles with what I was using in my regular sneakers, it was a night/day difference! I then realized these boots potential & have been wearing them every work day since. They're only kinda worn out in certain places where some of the stitching is coming loose, but overall, they're holding together very well & are quite comfortable to me. The in-soles they came with were TRASH. That stupid "gel" impact protection pad was the thing that killed my heels. Whoever gave the 'OK' for that design to be used in these boots did NOT have them tested by someone standing on a concrete, or hard compacted dirt, grounded area for ~7 hours first. These may be great for hiking & other such things that keep you moving, but you GOTTA keep moving, or the gel pads will press into your heels cutting off blood flow or something that hurts after an hour. Even SITTING with them on was an issue because of this! ...& I HATE wearing footwear super loose. If you're issued/or otherwise get these for something that involves a lot of 'being stationary,' AT LEAST replace the in-soles w/ something comfortable!

I've had a pair of these that lasted probably 10 years wearing them 3 days a week. When it came time to buy new boots there was really no question which ones to get. Once I Received the new ones in the mail I tried them on. They were not as comfortable as my 1st pair. the padding was skimpy, they were really wide, And they did not hug my ankle the way that the originals did.I really wanted to enjoy another pair of these shoes..

I have owned many pairs of Reebok boots, in fact I once loved them. But my last two pairs were very poorly made, my most recent pair had holes right out of the box and since I can't afford more and reebock refused to warranty an obviously defective pair of boots I am left without decent footwear. Since this experience I will NEVER EVER buy reebock anything again as they will happily take your money for garbage service

Just got the boots today and couldn't get my foot in the boot. I ordered the boot to large on purpose and all the padding and the heal support kept me from getting my foot in the boot even after I unzipped the and loosened the laces nothing about this boot is good. Every boot I have bought in the past ten years has been between a 10 and 11 ee depending on brand I know I have to buy Reebok running shoes larger size but never have a problem with those. These are a different story. These are not built to any tactical standards at all. I would not recommend ever.

absolutley no padding in the back of these boots from the heel up. tried 2 different sizes and blistered both tries. rock solid in the back. runs small
