#REEBOK ZPRINT PRO HOW TO#
The team at Reebok figured out how to glue little pods onto one piece (the outsole) and then stick that to the bottom of the shoe, so it’s just a. “Rubber is one of the heaviest compounds on the shoe,” so the brand got creative. The nubby outsole is yet another unique piece of the Pro, and its design stems from “the chase for weight savings,” Astorino says.

The tongue is attached to one side, so I had to play around with how much I could pull it over to the other side and make the top of my feet happy. I had no chafing issues - but I would recommend wearing socks.

I wore them on a 90-degree day, and my feet felt free - largely due to a single-layer engineered mesh upper.

The FloatRide Run Fast Pro upper is all one piece and is exceptionally breathable. It’s got that high energy return feeling that every sneaker brand is chasing. It has a lower density than other materials typically found in a midsole, like EVA, so it’s lighter, more flexible and impact-resistant - your first footfall feels the same as your finish line sprint. The issue many sneaker manufacturers run into is that it’s hard to make a cushioned and lightweight sneaker as one usually cancels out the other. While the lack of heft around my feet reminded me of my spike-wearing track days in high school, there was still some support from the Float foam midsole. When I first put them on, I was impressed with how comfortable my feet were. However, there is also enough room for me to wear whatever socks I’m feeling that day.

Since I don’t have to worry about my feet swelling to the extent that they would for a half or full marathon distance, the slim fit is like a cocoon for fast days. The sizing was spot on - for a racing flat I like the fit to be snug. Review: When I unboxed the Pros, I was shocked at how lightweight they are. Basically, any shoe that is advertised as a racing flat is a competitor to the Pro. The Nike 4% are just as pricey (albeit hard to find), but if you want a shoe that’ll hold up to more than a handful of races (depending on your distance regiment) it’s worth looking into the Reebok FloatRide Run Fast - made with the same foam, but a different upper.Īlternatives: The most natural comparison is to the Nike 4% ( $250) or the FloatRide Run Fast (at a slightly lower price point, but still lightweight $140) or the New Balance 1400 ( $100). The $250 price tag is pretty steep, no matter how you slice up those 100 miles. The point of shoes like these is to wear them on race day - that way you’re getting the most bang for your buck. So if you’re wearing them for your three-mile tempo run twice a week, you’re going to rip through those miles relatively quickly. Watch Out For: You’ve got about 100 miles of racing in this shoe. Who They’re For: While the brand says they are for anyone looking to run up to a marathon distance, I’d recommend you pick these up for your mile race, speedy track days and distances up to a half marathon. The shoe isn’t made on a track spike last, but the unique-looking outsole definitely reminds me of track spikes - and they function similarly to grip in wet or damp conditions.

The upper is lightweight and breathable, and the Float foam is soft where you need it and firm enough to handle at least three marathons. 100 grams is equivalent to 3.52 ounces, just about what the shoe weighs. “If you take shorts and a singlet, which is what most people race in, and put that on the scale, those two things weigh more than 100 grams,” Paul Astorino, senior director of specialized footwear at Reebok, says. The Good: The biggest story with these shoes is that the FloatRide Run Fast Pro weighs less than your race day kit. Pick these up for your next 5K or 10K and get ready for a PR.

A high traction outsole, that looks a bit like little spikes, feels fast and grippy whether you’re on the track or road. It’s just 3.5 ounces - less than your iPhone. The lightest-weight race day sneaker on the market is Reebok Floatride Run Fast Pro.
