Reebok Forever Floatride Energy

Just got a pair and had a nice easy test run with some strides. First pair of Reeboks, but use a mix of GRR7s, Epic Reacts, Zoom Flys, and Bostons typically for training.

These have a nice natural feel, good road sensing & grip, and plenty room for toes to flex. Got the wild blue color instead of my typical black and kinda like the electric blue. Flat laces feel good and overall the shape looking down kinda reminds me of my Boston Boosts but more comfortable on the foot and smoother ride. More forefoot cushioning without being soft. The tread is also softer and grippier than the Continental rubber on my Bostons / Adios.

Think these may be perfect for an upcoming half marathon that is a hilly mix of road and trail. Sizing down a half size was the right call. Also the 40% off code with free shipping made these $60 delivered and a no brainer to try out.

Believe in the Run also has a positive review and that just went up.

So Reebok FFE are a 1/2 size down from Boston's? A lot of reviewers at RTR (Not Mac) went with true to size which I think I am especially since I found the Boston 6 1/2 size small

Well i went by the -.5 size guidance in this thread for my first Reeboks and it worked. Im a pretty standard 10 in most all shoes but Adidas are the exception. I have a snug fit in Adios 3 in 10.5 US. My Boston 6s are 11 US which provides a roomier fit in the toes where i needed it.

Sorry to muddy the waters but those are real world data.

Not at all thanks based on your adidas sizing I should be spot on especially when running hills

I’m 10 in Boston 6.

I’m 9 in Zoomfly

I’m 9 in Pegs

I’m 9 in VF

I’m 8.5 if FFE

$60 SHIPPED right now on reebok.com with code 40BACK. Remember to size down.

Thanks. I ordered a pair using the code. The firmness/bounce and medium weight (I don't consider them light despite what other posters have said) remind me a bit of the NB Zante 2, maybe a little softer. If my legs wind up liking them, I may look into the Floatride Run Fast. Please keep posting codes!

Tried these on today at the mall. Immediate impression - felt eerily similar to boost but significantly lighter. Much bouncier than react or any other foam/TPU that i've ever tried before. Also found them to be very unstable. I would love to give these a shot but I don't think my genetically flat feet will be able to handle the unstable-ness. Hopefully they release a supportive/stability version.

Would the Floatride Energy, Run Fast or any of the other shoes work for me?

I need...

- a shoe with bounce

- more cushioning than a racing flat

- something for track intervals. (I seldom run on the roads anymore. My long runs are on dirt trails.)

- inflexible in the toe box (shoes that flex cause my turf toe to flare up)

They have one with this foam called the Grasse Road ST. Compared to plenty of other neutral shoes it is plenty stable though.

Floatride Run Fast would be the shoe. Zoom Fly Flyknit maybe too?

Thats awesome news. Hopefully they are able to capture the same magic as the floatride energy.

I’ve seen these on offer on women’s sizes...what’s the difference between women’s and men’s versions?

I have nearly flat arches and overpronate slightly with my left foot (tore my left achilles last year so picky about stability/heel height) and they're a great shoe. After being disappointed by Nike's overhyped recent releases (except the 4%, I'm not fast enough to even consider those), these are a breath of fresh air. I wore them in a half marathon practically right out of the box, and just used them for a 20 mile long run. Used to wear Mizuno Elixers, Precisions, the OG Brooks Launch, and Nike Pegs back in the day and these ride similarly, but are much lighter and have a super responsive midsole. If you can get them from Reebok for $60-$70 with coupon code and free return ship I would definitely give them another shot. Have to add that I have a skinny foot/ankle and the shoe is perfect for me .5 size down, but if you like a wider heel and wide overall fit, they may not be the best choice for longer runs.

Dang, "fam" even gets you %50 off the Floatride Fast... $67usd, smh

Hi,

I am wondering how soft or firm the new reebok is. I read some say its firm others say its soft . I only can buy online - so I can't try before I buy. So wondering how it feels underfoot. I prefer the softer side (not to soft) like nike epic react, skechers go run ride 7. I tried the new saucony triumph iso 5 and its to firm, I also have the saucony freedom iso 1 and it to firm and not enough cushion for long runs.

So is the new reebok forever floatride energy on the softer side and well cushioned or more firmer and lack cushion for a daily trainer, thanks.

Cheers

Steve
