Runner's World Shoe Lab Test Results
This update has a new last that is narrower in the heel and through the midfoot for a snug fit. Reebok improved the shoe's durability by adding sections of heavy-duty foam under the heel and forefoot. Some testers felt the upper was stiff even though the shoe uses memory foam in the collar and molded foam in the tongue to better distribute pressure over the top of the foot. Recommended for runners with high arches looking for a durable everyday trainer.
Wear Tester Reviews
"I really like how the shoe fit, and it had great cushioning." --Mike Richmond, 42, East Lansing

"Good durability, but the tongue needs more cushioning." --Katey Fryzol, 21, Allentown

"Good solid shoe with great breathability. If you need a shoe with cushioning you may want to look at other options." Jamie Schnepp, 32, East Lansing

"The lacing system is way too tight. I had to really work to get the shoe on and off. I even tried changing the shoelaces, but the holes where the laces went are just too small." Suanne Rieker, 51, Allentown
