Kenneth Cole Reaction Top Class Boot – $74.46 (reg. $134.95)

First G.H. Bass & Co. helped out with black boots for $70 on Friday, and now it’s Kenneth Cole’s step-down REACTION line that chips in with a brown pair.

The Top Class boot is a standard that goes on sale every few months.  The black boots are pretty much sold out, but the brown version still has some decent size selection yet.

Although affordable, Kenneth Cole’s dedication to quality (or lack there of) for his products has been called into question by many.  And since this is his REACTION line, don’t expect these to last the rest of your life.  Some reviews online are glowing, some are not.  Just be aware of that before you dive in.  But if your looking for a pair of go-with-just-about-anything brown boots, these have the shape and look to fill that need.

  2. If they were from the New York line I wouldn’t hesitate, but I’ve not had great experiences with Reaction. A few years ago when I was less educated about the subject, I purchased several pairs of Reaction shoes. They were typically very “trendy” and always of relatively poor quality. However, In the last year I’ve purchased a few New York line pairs of shoes and boots and been mostly satisfied. Good leather, decent contruction. But even then I only purchased when they were at extreme discount (like when I landed these boots for only $80.00). Even at only $75, I would beware…

  3. @Rich: Nice get on those boots for $80. Was it in store or online? Yeah, the REACTION line can be hit or miss, and the online reviews are all over the map. But at least there’s free two day and free return shipping. So, at least Endless takes care of you there.

  5. @Manny – thanks! they look even better in person and look brilliant with some rolled up selvedge denim.

    @ Joe – I got them online. I always watch KC’s site. They frequently mark styles down and then throw a 40% off day or evening event. I ordered them off season in august – marked down 30% and stacked with a %40 off sale! Lol

    Now I’m on the hunt for a great deal on some nice wingtips (I’ll be watching Dappered.com closely!). I must admit, my current pair are some KC Reactions, and are adequate at best and a tad tacky at worst.
