So far, so good with one slight issue.
I purchased a pair of size 10's a couple weeks back for work. I'm an instructor at a training center so I spend quite a bit of time standing up and moving around. Prior to these, I had been wearing an awesome pair of 1st gen Nike SFB's (way better than the current version) for about 3 years.Having worn those for so long, transitioning to these Reebok's wasn't too bad. It definitely took some getting used to just because of the shear size of these boots compared to the Nike's. These are also my first pair of boots with side zippers so that took some getting used to as well. It makes a world of difference when putting them on and removing them, which is super quick, and it's convenient in the sense that I can just leave the laces tied. I'm definitely sold on side zipper boots now.In terms of weight, these boots are surprisingly light weight considering the size and bulkiness of the boots. Compared to the Nike's, these boots are bulky! At first, I felt like I was wearing Super Mario jump boots, haha. The boots themselves are pretty comfortable though after about a day or two break in period. The size of these boots feel true to size, but width wise, they seem to be a little wider than normal. The toe box is a little wider too, but I actually prefer that my toes have some extra wiggle room. Ankle support is good, but it feels a little stiff, but no stiffer than other boots. I attribute that to the fact that I got used to wearing the Nike's for so long.The only con about these boots in my opinion is the side zipper design. On the inside of the boot where the zipper and the tongue of the boot meet, there is excess material for the tongue. On my left boot, that excess material has a crease that is folded and sticks out a smidge. But it sticks out enough to where it causes a hot spot on my ankle and it is somewhat painful after about 5 minutes of wearing them. I've mitigated that but consciously making the effort to reposition and flatten the seam before putting the boots on. I'm confident that after continued use, that excess material will soften up and flatten out. All things considered though, I subtracted a star because of this one issue that I encountered., And the fact that Amazon doesn't allow for half star deductions.Overall, these boots are worth getting for the price I paid. Quality and finish out of the box is great and the boots feel good after breaking them in. If your on the fence about them, I would say to pull the trigger and pick up a pair of these.

Not the REEBOK quality I thought they would be...
Boots overall are Ok. Comfort - good, weight - great, ease putting on/taking off - marginal, quality - not impressed. I guess I expected more from "Reebok" than just the name... but that is what you are getting with these the name Reebok. They arrived on time, they fit well - and YES they do take a little getting used to breaking them in as with all boots. They are supposed to be slip and skid resistant... well, I don't think so. I have almost ended up on my butt more than once when I hit wet concrete as these seem to break free easily. The lugs are more like 1/2" crescents, and they are very malleable so they grip dry smooth ground and rough surfaces very well, just be very careful on smooth wet surfaces. They did leave something to be desired on the quality aspect. I mean... this is supposed to be Reebok, but I feel like it is more a high end K-Mart brand. The leather is thin and scuffs easily... I have coated the toes with truck bed liner and that has helped greatly... they don't look terrible now. AND, the stitching is coming apart in the webbed area on the side of the left boot. I am a firefighter and I wear these on duty, so in the passed two months I've owned them I've worn them 24 times... they still look new and the stitching is letting go. NOT HAPPY about that. Trying to find an avenue to explore for some kind of warranty, but that does not look like it is an option.Just keep your expectations low on these and you will be fine.

Find a Different Boot, Really.
The styling and details of this boot seemed like it would fit the bill for my daily work requirements. The fact it has a composite toe and shank is a plus, and the side-zip put it over the top as a choice.However, the real "down side" of this pair of Reebok boots was the ~ultimate discomfort~ of wearing them. Despite having an insole, there seemed to be no "give" or enough padding to absorb even the minor shock of walking. That played havoc with my heels and after three days I was experiencing a piercing pain in the pad of my heel. The side-zip also folded in such a way that it rubbed against my ankle, causing bruising (despite a seemingly accurate fit), and no amount of resituating the tongue and flap mitigated the problem.Final verdict: Avoid this pair of boots at all costs. There are other vendors in the market who produce a much better product. Look for their 4-5 Star ratings.~TJW~

Somewhat disappointing
I had a pair of Converse desert boots that I wore for months in Kuwait. The most comfortable boot I've ever worn. Actually bought them because I was suffering from Plantar Fasciitis while I was over there and had difficulty even walking. Once I slipped to Converse boots on it was magical. Once back to reality, I needed a pair in black. Searched for some time then I found that Converse sold the line to Reebok. I ordered these hoping that they were as good as my desert boots but no such luck. The Reebok are okay but have uncomfortable pressure points around the forward part of the ankle and are constructed of less than quality material. The leather is very soft and prone to scuffing and damage. Sole is the same as the Converse but overall, not the same boot. If you want a boot that your going to use in active duty, be it police or military, I would suggest looking elsewhere.

Comfortable, but Weak
Boots are bulky, but comfortable. However, they are not sturdy at all. Did not last me more than 8 months, then started to come apart internally and externally. Not a credit to the Reebok brand, and certainly not worth the price they are asking for it.
