Love this shoe

Overall

I have trouble finding shoes that don't make my knees (or if low-drop, my calves/Achilles, or if heavy, my hamstrings) hurt. This shoe's combination of a high drop, low weight, and decent cushioning work well for me. Lots of energy return too, while still being cushioned.

Better than more expensive shoes

SBywater · Jul 3, 2019

4/5

Overall

Very soft, but in a more bouncy way than other shoes. Not the lightest shoe but lighter than a lot of shoes which give less cushioning. Also punches above its weight in that it's more comfortable than more expensive shoes and will also last pretty much forever. Only negative is that the heel cup rubs slightly on my Achilles tendon, but this is a problem which I have with a lot of shoes.

Insane Value

Overall

For a shoe that you can pick up for under $75 straight from Reebok, this shoe is amazing. It can easily stand up to any other shoe in its category. It has a smooth ride and was well made. I, like many, didn't know what to expect from Reebok, but these really won me over.
