Great!

Dubbed as the "plated shoe for the masses," the Floatride Energy X from Reebok sits at a much more modest price than the rest of the Reebok Tshirt AC Tee on the market. Not only this, but it's also a springy contender that can offer a protective ride for your marathon races and a hell lot of fun during your speed training runs. And if you want planted steps on the track or the road, the Reebok Energy X delivers.

Who should NOT buy it

Considered by many as a step back from other race options when it comes to weight, you can opt for the lighter, PR-setting Saucony Endorphin Pro 2 instead of the Energy X. And if you want a snug fit that's friendly to narrow feet, the Nike ZoomX Vaporfly NEXT% 2 is an excellent choice.

Can go fast...just not THAT fast

To put it more otherwise, it's a fun shoe. But if you're expecting an Adios Pro eliminator, you might want to temper down your expectations. With its weight and less peppy ride, it just "doesn't scream race day" as one of the experts said.

But it's not all bad because, for its price, many find its ride awesome. To quote testers, it's a "massive stack of energy" that offers a "welcome boost" for a bolting performance.

As mentioned, weight is a caveat that holds the Reebok Insta Pump Fury Kaa back from becoming a record-breaking racer. At 260 grams/9.2 ounces in US men's 9, it just tips the scales.

In the world of racing flats (215 grams/7.6 ounces, on average), it's "way too blocky." Just as it is bulky compared to the average Reebok Tshirt AC Tee that weigh 228 grams/8 ounces.

Anchored steps from the Reebok Energy X

Among other super shoes, testers consider this shoe as Reebok Sujetador Deportivo Reebok Puremove Mujer Rebajas Deportivas S models, saying it's:

  • "not mushy like the Nike ZoomX
  • "relatively stable" despite its high stack
  • "Reebok Classic Leath MSP Wild Khaki"

And these are all owed to the shoe's carbon plate that adds a smidge of rigidity for support and the wide platform it sits on. 

A comfy miler

For high-mileage efforts, almost everyone agrees that the Energy X's cushion is spot on. It feels bouncy and protective; road runners say there's NO need to break it in.

On top of this, according to a verified buyer, the foam "compresses a great deal." If you want loads of cushion that can carry you through 26.2 miles without any strain, this is it. 

Foot wrap that loves the feet

The upper is not only environmentally friendly; it's also soft, and foot-conforming. It's stretchy; reviewers say it "disappears off the feet."

Even better, it's very breathable. A tester perfectly describes the shoe's ventilation saying he doesn't worry "about his feet overheating." What's more is that the upper drains water fairly easily.

The gusseted tongue, padding in the collar and heel, as well as the laces, work altogether to deliver a secure and comfortable fit. However, for narrow-footed runners, the Reebok Insta Pump Fury Kaa leaves much to be desired.

At faster paces, the fit is rather "sloppy;"' it makes the ride "wonky." The heel is also too wide for a dialed-in fit. Lace-locking or wearing thicker socks is highly advised. And a PSA from one of the runners: "Important: Comes in full sizes only."

The Floatride Energy X exudes great value

Today, super shoes can cost up to $250 or even more! But the Reebok Insta Pump Fury Kaa is positioned as a race-day shoe that's Кроссовки Reebok женские в Тернополе. And to this, runners agree.

Even better, for a sub-$200 super shoe, the Energy X's performance surpasses its price. Whether you're taking it out for daily runs or race day, the price "justifies it sitting in almost every category." This said, value-wise, it's an easy 10/10.
