The Rapid Response RB is a field-proven tactical boot with advanced comfort technology and durability for modern first responders, law enforcement officers, and military professionals. The leather and ballistic nylon upper is resilient enough for rugged terrain and urban landscapes. The EVA midsole, embedded Shock Eliminator heel cushion, and Foot Force® F2A footbed work together to provide all-day cushioning and comfort. Features an aggressive and iconic mountain trail rubber outsole.
I have owned several pairs of these boots and both black-and-tan in both the soft toe and composite toe. They are the most comfortable shoes or boots I have ever owned. I wear a pair of them almost constantly. I wear them for work, hiking, fishing, and for play. The zip sides make them easy to slip in-and-out of as needed to change shoes for any occasion. They look good enough to go out in. As they get worn they get relegated to fishing boots. They are so comfortable that I prefer them to tennis shoes. I wear then for hiking in the roughest terrain and the non slip soles give me great traction. The high tops give me great support when I'm climbing on the rough terrain. As long as I still have feet and they make these boots they will be on my feet!
Boots fit true to size and width. They have excellent traction on everything, and are surprisingly good on snow and ice. They are light for a safety boot and are not overly warm. They feel like very light hiking boots. I really want to like these boots, but they have a fold at the bottom of the tongue bellows that presses right on the malleolus, on the inside of my ankle. I can only wear them about 4 hours a day (two weeks so far) and, although they are better, I still can't stand them for a full day. I'm hoping they soften up. They are a pretty awesome boot, they just don't quite fit me around my ankles. Wear them around the house for a few hours before you decide to keep them. I didn't and now I'm stuck with them.
I ordered these for my Air Force Retired husband. The price was unbeatable and he loved the boots! Very similar to what he wore while he was active duty! I would give a 7 out of 5 stars!
Wore these boots every day during my last deployment to Afghanistan. Light, comfortable, and no blisters, even when patrolling up tp 60Km in one shot while wearing a 35kg pack.
Normally I purchase the Reebok Rapid Response boots at a military surplus but today got them online. These boots are all I will wear at work because they are comfortable, durable, easy on/off and airport friendly.
Two days ago, a 35-ton concrete truck backed over my foot, stopped on it, and rolled forward again. My foot was swollen and badly bruised, but no broken bones! I've probably sold 20-30 people on these boots in the last day. As for me, I will NEVER wear another boot. Thank you, Reebok!
