Hi,
I bought 11 in reebok forever (my normal size), it was a bit long , but width was okay, probably 10.5 would be better however I put thicker insoles in so 11 allows for thicker insoles and my feet are not that narrow. The harmony 3 - 11 again, was slightly better fit than forever (seem about 1/4 size smaller than forever) slightly wider but slightly shorter.
Cheers
Steve
Interesting on roadtrailrun review the forever some saw the sizing okay others said size down 1/2 size. I suppose depends on your foot shape. I find i have to size up 1/2 size with Nike as some are very narrow to allow for my foots width.
cheers

Some say the Floatride run upper is not very secure.

The new version will have changes to the upper though and it looses the EVA rim for more Pebax in the midsole. I am interested.
I just got a pair of the forever energy and I'm impressed. I did the half size down on general consensus advice and seems to be the best way. Maybe the slightest bit narrower in the mid-foot maybe for the first time I put it on but great for the toe box.
Having put zero miles in it, it seems to fit nicely between the pegasus and peg turbo, which is exactly what I'm looking for. Reebok is also running a 40% off sale so the price was a no-brainer.
The grip appears to be insane. I think I could run up a wall spider-man style with it. Would be potentially a great winter shoe too.
Just for reference I tried the NB Beacon /Zantes and found them too hard. This seems like the right level of softness coming from the peg turbo.
Once you go zoom x it's hard to go back.
Try the Fuel Cell Rebel...my new fav less than HF shoe. Light, bouncy and softer than Beacon

Agreed. This started becoming my winter daily shoe in early-spring. In Wisconsin the Epic Reacts get much stiffer, harder, and less bouncy in the cold. The traction is also bad in the snow. The Forever Energy has better traction in the snow and the ride is far more consistent in the cold.

HOLY F*** Stevenn, we get it, you like the Harmony Road 3. No one else does. STFU about it already.
Yeah, you gotta chill out dude. The Forever is way better anyways. We don't want them slappy heels.
Hi,
The reason I posted here was there was a discussion about a new Reebok running shoe ( which I bought - the forever) and I wanted to add my experience of a new Reebok I found that I preferred over the Reebok Forever. I do like the forever but it just didn't have enough cushion for my longer runs.
Shoes can be a subjective thing, for example some runners love the Nike Vomero 14 others dislike it, also every person is built differently (weight, size etc), Footstrike differently, have different needs in a running shoe etc.
A few people (including marathon runners) have found the Reebok HR 3 to be an excellent daily trainer. So I was just sharing my experience of the HR3 as it may be a shoe that some may find work for them. I hope there has been no misunderstanding, thanks.
Cheers
Steve.

He posts about it like every other day, it never generates any discussion, yet he just keeps on going. Enough already.
No need to be rude.
Have a good day.

Hi Ahwhatthecheese,
Just an update - I did a tweak with the Reebok FEE which has worked for me. I took out a topsole of everrun out of my saucony shoes ( 3mm thick) and added into the Reebok as a insole on top of current reebok insole . It made a bit difference in cushioning levels for me, worked well on a run . Like the Reebok FEE more now - great shoe. The New Balance Propel look like an interesting shoe that is coming out .
Cheers
Steve
As ridiculous as that sounds, I actually did the same thing to my FR Fasts.
Cheers :-)
Thanks TheJeff - I am not the only one then that have tried the tweak. :)
Guess what - solereview just gave the Reebok FFE 93% - see link :

That is actually a good idea. How did you go about removing it and keeping it in tact? Also, does it slide around?

It comes out fairly easily with some pulling, or very easily if you leave the shoes near a heat source for a little bit.
It is tacky by nature, so although the insole won’t slide on its own, it does tend to grab on to your sock when putting your foot in the shoe...

Yeah, it is tacky. I might try removing the insoles in the Forever Energy and putting in the everon and insole from the Freedom Iso for that extra squish and a less sticky surface in contact with my sock.
It was easy to pull out - I did it slowly pulling a bit at a time starting around the heel area.as it was only stuck in a few places with glue and easy to pull away. It doesn't slide around much as its quite grippy - the everun to the inner sole. You can put a few bits of thin double sided tape in a few spots to help stop it sliding around. I lot of the saucony shoes now have a everrun top sole. I pulled mine out of the saucony freedom and triumph iso 3's . I can put them in any shoe basically, the next I am going to try is the beacon.
Cheers
Steve
