Additional Details
The Upper, midsole, and outsole are the parts that are always found in any shoe. They are basically the parts that define it. The upper covers the back of the foot, the instep and the toe area. It’s usually fixed to the sole. Midsole stands as the middle layer between the outsole and the insole. Outsole is the part that make direct contact with the ground. It is usually designed to enable surface gripping. Some shoes may have insole while some may not.
Upper
The upper features breathable materials that allow air into the shoe interior. The leather overlays offer some level of supports which lead to prevention of heel slippage and wobbling. Part of the functions of the overlays is to withstand wear, which increase the lifespan of the shoe in return.
The traditional lacing system helps wearers to customise their fits. The tongue is well padded to prevent it from rubbing against the skin thereby preventing blister on the instep.
The low-cut design of the upper offers easy mobility and allow quick transition of the foot.
Midsole
The midsole features the DMX Foam EVA technology which houses the Moving Air Technology. The moving Air Technology absorbs shock and reduces impact force, giving the shoe the chance to provide needed cushioning and support.
Extra cushioning and support are provided by the Memory Tech sockliner. Soft comfort and special footbed feeling are parts of the supports the Memory Tech sockliner can offer.
Outsole
The outsole of Walk Ultra 6 DMX Max features high abrasion rubber which provide extra grip. It was designed to withstand wear due to long walk. It’s a platform that can function well in any surface. The rugged design allow excellent surface gripping and enables it to withstand abrasion.
The DMX Max Moving Air can be found written on the outsole at the midfoot section. This signifies where the Moving Air technology is located.
Conclusion
The DMX Max foam and Plush Memory Tech sockliner are the distinctive features many reviewers are happy to see in this Reebok walking shoe. Both features offer the right amount of cushioning and support needed for walking. Being a comfortable and supportive shoe, it’s a must have for many fans.
Though the shoe may have been perfectly alright for many people, some fans feel like its predecessors are better. As a shoe that has got all the fantastic qualities to offer, fans find its price unbelievably budget-friendly.

March 2, 2019 at 12:42 pmGreat article about reebok walk ultra 6 dmx max, it’s the first I’ll be reading about it and you have made a very good impression about it. I now know alot about it thanks to your site. I love the summary of the reviewers about the shoe being the type for people working for a long time on their feet, I think that says a lot about me. I’m giving it a shot. Thanks for the review.

March 2, 2019 at 12:50 pmThank you for the review, it was very helpful. I like that the Men’s version comes in both black and white so that if I want one that won’t shoe wear and tear as much, I can choose the darker version. Do you have any thoughts on how long you should keep using a shoe before it is time to buy a new pair? Should you base on length of time, miles walked, or is there a good way to tell when walking/running that a shoe needs to be replaced?
Thanks!

March 2, 2019 at 1:06 pmI have to say it depends on if you still like how the shoe feel or look – If it can still do all you want it to do and is still looking fashionable, depending on how you feel about it.
There are some people that don’t mind getting a new pair of shoe just to add it to their rotation. It just that they feel like they need it.
So, I will say if you feel like you need it, just go for it.

March 2, 2019 at 12:50 pmI have special live for sneakers. Can wear sneakers to different occasions.
The Reebok ultra 6 dmx max is a very nice looking shoe. It’s a sneaker I will be looking to have, irrespective of the little flaws you’ve listed in its design.
I do want to know, can these sneakers be gotten in other colours rather than just white and black?
Expecting your feedback.

March 2, 2019 at 1:00 pmSo far, I have seen only the white and black. There are other colourways like white/washed blue, white/steel, Black/ alloy, black/alloy-bla and so on, but they’re still white and black. The other uncommon colourway I found is the Brush Brown/Black. The women version has the Cloud Grey/Alloy/White.
Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any further question.

March 2, 2019 at 12:54 pmThe Reebok walk ultra 6 dmx is a shoe I think every one would like and the things it’s made of are of high quality from my observations from here. I remember I bought a white canvas sometime after its been like ages I bought one last., but Lo and behold what I bought wasn’t what I expected.

March 2, 2019 at 1:10 pmWas it the Walk Ultra 6 DMX Max or another Reebok shoe? I would return it if I were you. They might have made a mistake while packaging it.

Was a good shoe
Too bad reebox CS went from worse to bottom of the barrel
I got these originally in v2 and they had defective soles made them squeak. Reebok usa finally gave me ann $80 code to use to replace them. Then I found the code was NOT honored at their stores,, nor for any CANADIANS!!!!
Well those shoes squeaky as hell got worn til inhappened to find v4 at Canadian reebok outlet and nabbed them… they worse decently but again couldnt use the $$ code..
Well the cycle gets worse.. after trying to contact both us and Canadian offices they desperately try to brush it off.. and no one wants to fix it. Canadian store NEVER has my needed size in stock, wont reserve stock and just says to go to local store there is NO local store!
I tried contacting them over their BF sale back in dec.. again zero stock for my size.. beyond useless support people that didnt even know they make dmx in 4E width!!
So I emailed them.. not even a peep of response theybcompletely ignored my email I sent it again just in case.. NOTHING.. again the idiots in the US dont even list any email anymore.. they try saying to contact them on Facebook hey morons.. not everyone is dumb enough to use FB nor do we want to.. esp for something like this!!
And now after searching I find that the qc has gone to hell and they are shipping a ton of shoes with plastic fake leather under the same skull as those with real leather and advertise such as real leather..
While these were good shoes that actually fit for once.. and other than the squeaky sole way back when they did decently.. but the CS is beyond crap and now I’m fed up to the point where I think the stink that is reebok now is nothing like they used to be… I am sad to say that the last time I found these with real leather in my size I bought the entire stock the store had all 2 pairs….
They are so worn now they cant even keep out moist grass….. and i have yet to find a replacement
But reebok was once good… but now they are beyond abysmal
Anyone got suggestions for a current good alternative that is well made, will fit, real leather and is actually affordable? Ie none of the absurd $200 per foot insanity… try 60bux a pair CDN
