Customer Reviews Reebok Floatride Energy 3.0

Great shoe for running, very comfortable and light weight. However the width runs a bit small for the size. I would love to have little wider and my feet is not huge.

The Floatride Energy 3 is almost good enough to be the only shoe you'll need in your rotation. Coming from the Symmetros and the Run Fast 2, sizing can be all over the place. In most shoes I'm an 8.5 for running (about 3/4 thumb width). 8.5 fit me way too snug in the Symmetros and the Run Fast 2 so I sized up to a 9 in the Energy 3 - which is just a touch too big but better than an 8.5. Sizing is my only complaint about this shoe. The cushion is spot on for doing long runs at pace and is not too much to handle faster tempo runs if you're inclined. The stack of the shoe splits the difference nicely between the two and I never want more or less on any run. The outsole is holding up really well and I predict will do so for hundreds of miles if the midsole can keep up. I really enjoy the upper fit which isn't too snug to cut off circulation or too loose to be wanting a smaller fit. The laces are also pretty close to spot on; I use a runners knot for a bit of extra heel lockdown and that leave just the right amount of lacing left over. I have yet to experience heel slippage in a wide variety of socks and have nothing but good things to say about the shoe so far. I recommend it to any runner looking to simplify their rotation - it's close to your one shoe quiver!

This is a really good daily trainer option for runners on a tight budget. The fit is true to size for me (US10). It has plenty of room to wiggle the toes and in my size, I have about a thumb width space in front of my toes. My US10 shoes weigh 9 5/8 oz (272 g) each shoe. Upper is roomy but lockdown is pretty good. Tongue is gusseted helping the lockdown. There is moderate amount of padding around the heel collar and tongue. Upper might be great on cooler fall/spring weather but for hot weather usage, this upper may not the most breathable. Upper feels a bit rough to touch. The Rebook Floatride midsole material is said to be a TPE based foam similar to Adidas Boost but lighter. It is not very soft but has some give and provide enough cushion under foot. I also have a Rebook Run Fast and PEBA based Float Ride Plus foam in Run Fast is much more compressive and higher energy return than the one here. I wish Rebook would incorporate Float Ride Plus foam to the next version as well (at least a layer of it would be nice). Alternatively, a nitrogen infused version might provide a little bit softness and lighten the shoe. Outsole of Energy 3.0 has a lot of rubber coverage which adds to its weight but it also improves to the longevity of the shoe. Plus, the rubber is pretty grippy and works well under a variety of conditions. The shoe is very flexible and it may not be suitable for people with heavy stability need. Runners with requiring light stability might be able to use it. I also have Reebok Symmetros and Reebok Energy 3.0 is quite similar to Symmetros in many ways and it is going to replace my aging Symmetros. I use Symmetros for short/medium distances (up to 10 miles) with easy/moderate efforts.

I have been very happy with how comfortable these shoes are and they help me perform while working out well.

I've enjoyed running in these so far. 3 runs, about 11 miles. Light and well cushioned. Some firmness, but I think this is mostly the medium stack, and I tend to like the medium stack/cushion setup. One of the few pairs that I've also been wearing casually. I have gotten some unexplained knee pain, but not ready to say it's the result of the Floatrides.

Very good shoe. Comfortable and fits well..Use for runs 4 to 6 miles.

These shoes are comfortable, and perfect for an everyday run or just to walk around in.

I am 6'2 220 lbs and I truly love this shoe. I would like for Reebok to add depth to the fore front of the shoe as an improved shock absorption; and if possible and the DMX system for further comfort.

Best Reebok running shoes that I have ever ! Quality balanced with its price

Really like the shoe. Only con is I think the tongue it a little too short

I wear a size Wide, but these shoes only come in standard width. They are ridiculously comfortable and have a bounce like professional running shoes. I put them on and believed they were the shoe I've been looking for my whole life, BUT, after one entire day of wearing them my toes felt crammed. If you have a narrower foot, or regular width foot. These shoes are for you! The best value running shoe you can get, hands down. If you wear a size EE or are used to Altra running shoes, you may want to wait till Reebok offers a size EE. I'll be patiently waiting. Unfortunately my current shoes will just be handed over to someone with a regular width foot.

Great running shoe for the price! Love it. Fits well, sits in my arch better than any shoe I've had.

Very comfortable, but no matter how much I walked around I could not get used to the heel. If you can, this show is a definite buy.

Got these for $70 and feels about right from Reebok. Good looking shoe that's been solid for running though I think I'll end up buying a new shoe in < 2 years.

I like this shoe. A nice breathable shoe with plenty of flex in the upper in the toe area. Nice lock down for my long narrow foot. Absorbs shock well regardless of where I land on my foot.

In my opinion, and I may be biased. I was once a salemans that received a pair of the first ever floatrides, Lasted me 2 years after wear and tear to the fabric but man were those the best.

I actually really liked the way these looked on foot. Definitely would be comfortable as a daily casual shoe, but I purchased them to replace my current runners, and I knew that after a few miles the width would be too tight on my feet. Luckily, Reebok has a solid return policy.

It's a good value and very breathable shoe. Unfortunately I really needed to run in them to decide they were slightly too large. I'm confident I could give them 5 stars with a half size smaller. Just couldn't really tell, now I'm stuck with shoes that don't fit. Reebok needs a better exchange policy or get their sizing closer to industry standard.

It's a beautiful shoe and is very comfortable. I've worn them for a week and the black/white Reebok pattern on the inside of the right shoe is already lifted off the shoe. It may hold on for a while but there shouldn't be coming apart after less than 10 miles on them.

I loved the floatride fun fast and wanted something with a little more cushion for longer, slower runs. These were stiff out of the box and took 25 miles to break in. The shoe feels chunky in the heel and isn't super responsive making even longer recovery runs just feel sluggish. Quality product and built to last, but not was I was looking for.

I wanted to love this shoe, I purchased it for running, I run 3-5 miles 5 times a week, I have tried this shoe on 4 runs, 3 outside and 1 on a treadmill, each time I ran, I've sprained my ankle after. They are comfortable they just don't hold the foot in properly and the ankle rolls too much. I've had to stop my run each time due to ankles getting sprained. I think I'll need to return these, just don't know what other reeboks i should get. I may have to go back to Adidas.

The sole wasn't comfortable, especially when working out.

Have had no problems with the nanos and the zig techs when it came to width. SUPER tight on the sides.
