anyone know where US residents can find some floatride 4s? They've been in the UK for months now. Pairs on ebay are going for 130 but I can find ones in the UK to 70 (that dont ship to US)
google search leads to the womens version (sold out). There isnt even a mens listing on reebok.com US site. Seems weird. Supply chain issues? idk

To anyone how has the 4s-- do they run a bit long like the 2's and 3's did?
I ordered the 4s when they first dropped in the US, I went down a half size down from what I normally wear in Nike and Adidas and they fit perfectly. I’ve worn the same size in the 4s as I did in the 2s and 3s but find the 4s fit better with a slightly more structured upper. It’s a really solid, underrated daily trainer.
I’ve been waiting for a restock so I can order more pairs and like you I’m amazed that they’re readily available in multiple color ways around the world but not here in the US in even one color way. I get supply chain issues are everywhere but you’d figure the US would at least get some of the available stock.
I got the 4 in all white when they were first released. I think I actually prefer the 3, but not entirely sure why. Going back to the 3 this week, so maybe I'll have some answers.

on top of the fact that UK has 4 colorways available right now, they are also cheaper. £75 is about $90
When they were available here, Reebok US exempted the 4s from the student and public service discounts. In fact all of their performance shoes are exempt now. A real bummer. I only bought the 2s because of the discount and subsequently purchased 5 pairs of Reeboks because they were great shoes and they were dirt cheap.
In the meantime you should try the Floatride X. Also a very good shoe.
I'm confused by Reebok's naming of this model. Is the Floatride Energy 4 the fourth version of what originally was called the Forever Floatride Energy? The (first) FFE worked so well for me that I've been scouring eBay and resellers for a couple of years and am about to start my 8th pair, but I assume I'll need to find a newer version after that. If it is the same model, how is the 4 different from the original?

im not sure but that would make sense, if true
I haven't tried the 4s but I quite like the 3's. Depending on size/colorway, they have em on amazon for as low as like $60
They fit true to size to me. The mesh upper on version 3 was better. Version 4 has a non perforated cloth like upper but its still alright.
I heard the upper is more breathable on the 4s. Why do you think the upper is better on the 3s? Fit? Durability? Breathability? All of the above?

From what I understand, 1 and 2 have the same midsole. 3 and 4 have the same midsole. Each version has had fairly drastic upper modifications, but all have a low volume fit and 1/2 size down from my usual size.
im looking at parcel forwarding services to order from reebok UK. has anyone used one like forward2me or something similar?
Up to you, but while they’re a solid trainer it’s probably not worth all the hassle. Plenty of other solid options out there.
Me, my dad and my brother have all developed pain below the foot right next to the ball of the foot with the first 3 versions. I don't know what but something is wrong with this midsole. It's probably just a matter of time before you develop pain too. Skip it.
