Runner’s World Review
Award Winner: Best Debut
Reebok continues its strong return to performance running (its Harmony Road won a Best Debut in our March 2017 issue) with the all-new FloatRide. The highlight here is an exceptionally bouncy and lightweight midsole. Every brand in recent years has been whipping up its own version of a high-energy return foam, and Reebok is calling its material Float Foam. In the lab, the shoe delivered incredible energy return scores, on par with some of the most cushioned Adidas Boost shoes we’ve measured. On the road, that translates into a well-cushioned, responsive ride that makes you want to run fast. The upper could use a little refinement, says some of our testers. The stretchy knit used in the front half of the shoe didn’t deliver quite enough support for a few of our runners. The molded fabric in the back half, however, does a good job of keeping your heel centered over the midsole.

We put each shoe through real-world usage and a battery of mechanical tests in our lab to provide you with objective — and exclusive — data. In addition to a shoe's weight, we measure sole thickness (everything that sits between your foot and the road), how well the foam cushions your stride, and the flexibility of the forefoot. All this is taken into account in our reviews of each shoe.
