Great boot. Comfortable, long lasting. Will only buy these. Used in Irag.

I just got the third pair of these in 6 years. Each pair has lasted 2 plus years with at least 12,000 steps per day and a lot of abuse. They legit feel like tennis shoes and work like some of the best high dollar work boots. The first pair I wore out the heal a bit. The second pair is still good after two years, but pretty soiled and the heal is wearing flat because I still walk like I marched in the Air Force. Heal hard. Where I work, I need to look sharp so I wanted a fresh set of kicks with new brass coming in. I still plan to use my last pair for hiking, camping and out door work at home. I can’t say enough about these after multiple pairs and years of milage and hard abuse. Well done Reebok!!! Slip resistance works nice too. Never busted my butt once, in some of the harshest and trying situations.

Let me start by saying that I have owned a pair of RB8894 for over three years and I love these boots. It seems that since I last purchased these boots, there have been some changes made to both their outward appearance and internal stitching.The OLD RB8894 was the most comfortable pair of boots that I have ever owned and they still are. It has a nice large toe box and is very breathable. The padding on these boots still hug my feet and the shock-absorbing insole has saved me from the heel pain I was feeling in even much more expensive boots. The out-sole has proven to be slip resistant, even on oily surfaces. The zipper operates smoothly and once you have your laces set properly, it makes donning and doffing these boots very easy.The NEW RB8894 has all the things I loved on the old style, but the boots are useless to me. A change in production has made the RB8894 very uncomfortable, due to a change in the stitching and materials used to connect the tongue and zipper area to the boot. Please refer to the pictures. The stitching change leaves a bump in the padding and cover that rubs and pushes constantly on my ankles. I couldn't wear the boots more than a few minutes. If you look at the pics you will see how the old boot avoided this from being an issue by using a continuous run of material (padding and cover) and a continuous stitch. Reebok, for some reason decided to change that by stopping short with the material and adding a section of stitching in the worst place, thereby creating this bump. This is very disappointing.I had to wait a long time for these boots due to a back-order issue with Reebok (multiple vendors), so it pains me to have to write this negative review on what was once a great product at a great price. I will contact Reebok and see what their great (or so I hear) customer service has to say, but for now these boots are being sent back for a refund. Luckily, my old ones still have plenty of life left. Sadly, they won't last forever and I will be forced to find something else. Damn you, Reebok!UPDATE 01/01/18:Since my original review, I have owned two more pair of these boots. It seems Reebok has improved (the original is still better) it's manufacturing and QA processes. The problem with the seams and rubbing have been fixed.After my initial review, I contacted Reebok and they offered me a 40% off coupon which I used to buy a pair of RB8894's. Reebok assured me these were made differently and that claim held true. The next pair, I paid full price and was pleased with the quality. I am revisoting this review because I am buying another pair today. The price seems to have gone up significantly, hence the deduction of a star.

The media could not be loaded. So far I like the boot has a really grippy Soul on the bottom which is kind of aggravating for a lot of boots but it feels like it would grip most surfaces well it's the first composite boot that I bought so it's a little wide in the toe but nothing a thicker pair of socks can't fix.The dog likes them that's always good because the dog has good senses about things.Like all boots I usually put a better insole in them a thicker gel type and I think these could probably benefit from the same.It's hard to beat that old pair of Timberlands for Comfort all day so have a lot of Faith In Those Old boots but we'll see if these Reeboks can live up to the same standard.

The media could not be loaded. I love convenience of the zipper on the side of the boot which makes it easy to put on the boots every morning. As seen in the pictures I provided, the zippers have held up strongly with no signs of wear. This would be the weakest link in my opinion.The steel toe doesn’t make the boot noticeably heavier, yet provides protection.The sides of the boot are a little stiff allowing the boot to not bend as you’re inserting your foot.These boots are in my opinion stylish and functional. I get asked a lot if I was in the military!

Reebok missed the mark on comfort here these are the worst choice of boots I’ve made. I thought after breaking them in they would be alright but even after almost three weeks they kill my feet even after changing the insoles.They are water resistant but the fit is horrible if you like blisters on your ankles then this is the boot for you the good thing is they are composite toe and lighter than steel toes also the side zip is great I give it a 3 out of 10Now it’s time to go back to my previous boot as these will just sit in the closet because they aren’t even worth a garage sale in good conscience
