The Krios boots use a grip tread similar to the RECON Rugged Terrain used in their proven Fusion Max boots. Compared to rubber, the unique MeraMAX dual density soles have better wear, more slip resistance, and better shock absorption.
It is the Gore-Tex lining that makes the Krios the best boot in the Reebok tactical footwear line. Gore-Tex is breathable to handle hot and humid conditions and yet is waterproof to handle wet conditions.
The first two colors available in the Krios line were Desert Tan and Sage Green. The next two colors to be released are Tactical Black (shown) and Coyote Brown.

recognized brands of sports footwear, Reebok entered the world of tactical boots and shoes in 2013. An iconic brand, Reebok proved themselves during the 2014 SWAT Round-up. Three top-notch teams wore three different models of Reebok tactical footwear. The Reebok boots worn during the SWAT Round-up were the Dauntless, the Hyper Velocity, and the Dauntless Ultra-Light. Team members had nothing but praise for their Reebok boots after law enforce- ment’s most grueling competition. These boots had SWAT levels of per- formance and comfort. It was a tactical footwear homerun, the fi rst time at bat. Shortly after the successful introduction of their tactical boot line, Reebok took the next step up in tactical footwear: the Krios series. Objectively rated, Krios is the best tactical boot made by Reebok. In Greek mythology, Krios was a Titan god, one of six sons of Ouranos (sky) and Gaia (earth). The word Krios means ruler

or master. The word also means ram. Krios in Greek is Aries (ram) in Latin. Aries is the fi rst visible constellation in the sky rising from the south at the spring season, marking the start of the New Year in the ancient Greek calendar.
Good, Better, Best
Reebok self-rates their own footwear in six categories: slip resistance, oil resistance, metal chip resistance, abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, and heat resistance. The Krios rates Better or Best in every single category. Reebok has just one other boot self-rated as Better or Best in every cat- egory, their Rapid Response RB.
What gives the Krios the title of Ree- bok’s best tactical boot is the combination of these resistance ratings and the Gore- Tex® lining. Gore-Tex is the trump card in the game of all-season comfort; Gore- Tex is what makes the Krios so special. It is Gore-Tex that keeps feet cool when it is hot, dry when it is wet, and comfortable when you sweat. Krios is the state-of-the- art in hot weather, wet weather comfort.
Gore-Tex Lining
Gore-Tex is a moisture-wicking lining and a common fabric, but what is it really? Gore-Tex is a waterproof but breathable fabric membrane invented by W.L. Gore
After the break-in period, the Krios boots became extremely comfortable. The Cordura upper gave good ankle support, while the polyurethane sole was both cushioning and supportive.
