UPPER

Flexweave® woven textile upper which provides great breathability and support the feet on the key performance areas. Made with at least 30% recycled or repurposed materials.

MIDSOLE

Floatride Energy Foam, versatile lightweight and really soft at the time that is also responsive. Which together with the forefoot carbon fiber plate offers a great reactivity to the shoe. Maybe not as fast as many others in the market with full carbon plate, but a great option to enter in the “carbon world”.

REEBOK FLOATRIDE X: CONCLUSIONS

The evolution of the assisted plate shoes is a revolution in the last years, and more and more branbds enter the this world. So, reebok has also done it with this Floatride X, which at first and only analyzing the numbers can be a little bit behind other shoes we presented you here, for example related to weight.
This Reebok comes with a weight of 258 grams, while for example the HOKA Carbon X 3 weights only 222 grams, or the Rocket X with only 210 grams, the Salomon Phantasm with 222 grams.

The carbon plate offers a reactivity that seeks to maximize our performance and the solution of only forefoot plate has its pros and cons. For example, with only forefoot plate its clear that this shoes might bot be as fast as others with full plate, however they can be a great starting point bin the carbon world for beginners or runners with less good technique.

Summarizing, a shoe designed to fly on the asphalt, with a great balance and ratio weight-performance and below the typical over 200 € prices.
