Weird fit, nice cushoining

Anonymous runner · Apr 11, 2020

Overall

I’ve worn the Reebok Floatride Run Fast for about 120 miles. First, the fit... I have a very narrow foot (wear AA width in dress shoes), but my midfoot seems to take up all the volume of the shoe. The laces are really far apart, as if my foot is too wide for the shoe. The toe box has plenty of room, however. The comfort is excellent. I enjoy the PEBAX foam, and although there is no “spring” effect, the shoe is cushioned without being sloppy. Durability seems to be OK. There’s no major wear after 100+ miles. Overall, the Floatride Run Fast is a decent shoe for tempo of track work and could be a racer for 10k / marathon. I don’t use it everyday because of the strange fit. My foot isn’t locked down enough.

I can see a difference in my times with this shoe. I am definitely faster with this shoe, seems to really give a good toe off feel to my run. I will use these for the upcoming marathon season. Great price and great results in my marathons with this shoe!

Overall

The shoe is lightweight and has great cushioning. It has a great balance of being soft and also responsive. I have worn the shoes on the track for workouts and all the way up to a full marathon and felt the ride was great at faster paces. The shoe lacks the cushioning for easy/recover days, but shines at every other pace and distance. My biggest complaint is what Reebok calls the midsole support rims of the shoe. They causes hot spots on both the medial and lateral sides at the ball of my foot, which has led to blisters at both locations on both my feet.

Great workout shoe

Overall

I had bought the Floatride Run Fast as a racer, since I'm getting a little older and it's easier to feel beat up. I wanted a little more cushion, but still low weight. These are perfect for that. I did find after a few races however, there's not enough firmness or pop I'm looking for in a race. That being said, they're amazing as a workout shoe. Any workout I have is now dedicated to using this shoe. It's great, especially if you can get it on sale. Reebok oftentimes marks their product down, so I'd highly recommend you picking a pair up. As reference, I ran in high school, college, and now post-collegiality and have worked in a running store for 7+ years. I was really impressed with these as I had not considered Reebok to be a contender in the running shoe game, but these are truly impressive shoes.

Good for anything faster, even if it's a marathon

This shoe definitely likes to go fast, because of the light weight, high toe spring and stiffness, almost like a plate. It gives a great deal of feedback from the road and keeps you close to the ground but I never feel beat up after running in it, even after pretty long runs.
