Detailed Review
When it comes to tactical footwear, comfort and functionality are paramount. The Reebok Duty Men's Sublite Cushion Tactical Comp Toe 8" Boot excels in both areas, making it an excellent choice for professionals on the move. The boot’s MemoryTech Massage footbed forms to the shape of your foot, providing immediate cushioning and support, so whether you're walking or standing for long periods, your feet will thank you.
The Sublite foam midsole contributes significantly to the boot's lightweight design, allowing for full-foot flexibility. This ensures that every step you take feels natural, which is especially beneficial for those working in dynamic environments where quick movements are essential.
Another standout feature is the YKK side zipper, which delivers convenience. You can easily slip the boots on and off, saving you time without compromising on security.
While the soft toe may not suit everyone, it does provide the freedom of movement desired by many tactical professionals. However, if you require a composite or steel toe for heavy-duty applications, you might want to consider alternatives.
Overall, the Reebok Duty Men's Sublite Cushion Tactical boot represents a balance of modern design and practical application, making it an ideal companion for anyone in need of dependable tactical footwear.

User Reviews
Nice and lite. Good width.
The boots insoles are comfortable but towards the tip of the boot it hurts the side of my big toe. If you have wide feet, these boots will hurt your big toe
I have been wearing the Rapid Response composite toe, side zip boot for years, way back to when Converse made them. However during this "pandemic" time I needed a new pair of boots, (I have still been working). No one had the Rapid Response boot in my size anywhere! So I gave these Sublite boots a try. VERY light boot compared to the RR boot. However after 2 days of wearing them around the house, went to work with them. Not even 3 hours into my shift the soles of my feet were burning in agony. "Cushion" has no business in the title of these boots! I also noticed the the toe in the left boot was tighter than I am accustomed to and I always order the wide. Almost like the right boot was a W, but the left was regular. I checked the label, but both said W. Not sure what to do with these now. waste of good $$ in my opinion!
Best work boots !!!
Cpmfortable boot. My only complaint is that they failed to hold up well over time. The seems tore up quite quickly. I feel that For the amount of $ I paid for the boots they should last longer.
I like the easy on easy off. There my favorite pair of shoes. Have no dislikesI work in a freezer-10. Ordered my second pair. There not wore out, but when they do I want the back up.
I like the boots light and comfortable better than some red wings I used to wear.
Boots fit, they keep your feet warm, the insoles feel like they will break down really quick.
