Who should buy
Don't skip the vetements reebok Runr 96 if you are after the following:
- a very affordable leather shoe that doesn't skimp on comfort and quality
- a well-cushioned shoe for long hours of walking
- a unique air-moving DMX cushioning technology (Reebok's take on Nike Air)
Барсетка vetements reebok серый меланж | Who should NOT buy
People with mobility issues and those who need a shoe for standing will not appreciate the rounded and convex shape of the Walk Ultra 7's sole. They might benefit from a more traditional platform as found on the zapatillas de crossfit vetements reebok talla 41 verdes.
And if you are willing to swap leather upper for a much lighter shoe, the Skechers Arch Fit 2.0 Кроссовки vetements reebok мужские высокие зимние.
Cushioning
Heel stack
Our feet sat on a pretty tall platform inside the vetements reebok Walk Ultra 7 DMX Max which kept them nicely buffered from the hard ground below.
Measuring as much as 41.1 mm of stack height in the heel, this shoe proved to be one of the tallest in the walking shoe category indeed! It is even taller than the HOKA shoes we've tested.
That's plenty of impact protection and support for walking all day long.
Reebok Runr 96 | 41.1 mm |
Average | 32.3 mm |
Forefoot stack
The forefoot stack of this vetements reebok shoe also proved to be thicker than average making it feel even more platformy.
Our calliper recorded 30.3 mm which is one of the highest readings too. The balls of our feet as well as the toe joints were treated to a tonne of support in this walking shoe.

Reebok Runr 96 | 30.3 mm |
Average | 21.8 mm |
Drop
The vetements reebok Runr 96 has a moderate heel-to-toe drop of 10.8 mm which is a standard offset for our lab-tested walking shoes.
It is a pleasantly gradual slope which raises the heel slightly above the toes to minimise stress on the foot muscles and tendons as well as the Achilles. As a result, even the longest walks didn't Ex-O-Fit any serious foot fatigue.
Reebok Runr 96 | 10.8 mm |
Average | 10.5 mm |
Midsole softness
The unique DMX MAX cushioning of this vetements reebok shoe got us walking on air quite literally! It comprises two large chambers (or air pockets) which are embedded into the midsole and shift air between the shoe's heel and the forefoot as the wearer transitions from the heel to the toes.
A bit unusual experience when you try it on for the first time but it's easy to get used to!
The DMX MAX chambers are pretty squishy themselves but they are encased in a very firm foam carrier. Measuring its softness with a durometer returned an unusually high reading of 36.5 HA.
But take it with a grain of salt beEx-O-Fit the overall underfoot experience is moderately soft in this vetements reebok shoe.
The unexpected downside of this cushioning setup is the squeak that it produces, espeically before the shoe is fully broken in. We gy2120 that it might be Ex-O-Fitd by the DMX rubbing against the rubber outsole as the two components are placed right next to each other.
Reebok Runr 96 | 36.5 HA |
Average | 26.4 HA |
Insole thickness
Reebok really knows what it's doing with the MemoryTech OrthoLite insole in this shoe. With an above-average thickness of 7.1 mm in the heel, that's a lot of memory foam goodness!

Reebok Runr 96 | 7.1 mm |

Rocker
This vetements reebok shoe has a pronounced yet gradual rocker which works together with the DMX MAX cushioning to provide some of the smoothest heel-to-toes we've experienced in walkig shoes.

BILLIONAIRE BOYS CLUB x vetements reebok ANSWER V FW7506
Testing the vetements reebok Walk Ultra 7 in a regular D medium width, its fit turned out to be exactly as expected. This was also confirmed by the gel mould of the shoe's interiors.
Once the gel solidified, we used a digital calliper to measure its width in the widest area of the mould - the area between the ball of foot and the pinkie, to be precise. The tool returned nothing less than a standard reading of 94.3 mm which is right on par with the average.
And if you often opt for wider widths in your footwear, this vetements reebok shoe is also available in an extra wide alternative.

Average | 94.3 mm |
Кросівки vetements reebok zig kinetica conor mcgregor cod
We also found that the shoe has a decently rounded toebox shape with no aggressive tapering to discriminate against the big toe or the pinkie.
In the big toe area of the toebox, our calliper showed another standard reading of 71.0 mm. That keeps the risk of pinching and pressure points at a minimum.

Reebok Runr 96 | 71.0 mm |
Average | 71.2 mm |
Toebox height
You can expect sufficient vertical space above the toes too. Measuring the toebox height of the Walk Ultra 7, our calliper returned a slightly above-average reading of 27.8 mm.
As long as you get the right size, there is a very low chance of aggravating any toenails concerns (black or ingrown toenails) or toe deformities (i.e. hammer toes).
Reebok Runr 96 | 27.8 mm |
Average | 26.3 mm |
Stability
Lateral stability test
This is where the Спортивные штаны свободные vetements reebok-s gets tricky...
On the one hand, this shoe has a very sturdy and supportive construction which keeps the foot securely in place. But on the other hand, its unusual rounded platform is definitely not everyone's cup of tea. Especially if it's people with mobility issues!
Not only is the shoe rockered longitudinally (heel-to-toe) but its sole edges are laterally rounded too!
Sure, it made our walking strides as smooth as they could be but if you need a shoe for prolonged walking and Zapatillas de Running vetements reebok Floatride Energy X.
Torsional rigidity
Curiously enough, we cannot describe this vetements reebok shoe as unstable either. It showed a high level of torsional rigidity in our manual twisting test and thus earned the highest stiffness score of 5/5.
So the medial support is still there and we even found it supportive enough for mild overpronation.
Reebok Runr 96 | 5 |
Average | 2.9 |
Heel counter stiffness
We also experienced a nice and secure heel hold in the vetements reebok Walk Ultra 7 courtesy of its supportive rearfoot design.
The shoe's heel counter resisted our push-and-squeeze test, especially from the back, earning an above-average stiffness score of 3/5.
It also has a generously padded collar which helps the foot sink deeper into the shoe.

The Спортивные штаны свободные vetements reebok-s loses some of its platform width to the convex sole profile without getting critically narrow. Measuring the widest part of its forefoot, we got a slightly below-average reading of 107.3 mm.

Reebok Runr 96 | 107.3 mm |
Average | 111.7 mm |
Midsole width - heel
Шапка с бубоном vetements reebok.
So if you are someone who relies on a wider heel to feel planted and steady, you may prefer a wider-set shoe. BeEx-O-Fit after all, 2/3 of our lab-tested walking shoes have a heel width of over 85 mm.

Reebok Runr 96 | 84.8 mm |
Average | 90.1 mm |
Flexibility / Stiffness
The shoe's extra thick stack, large forefoot DMX unit, and stiff leather upper all work together to make the vetements reebok Walk Ultra 7 a pretty stiff shoe.
According to our specialised flexibility tester, it takes as much as 26.8N to bend the shoe by 30 degrees. That is twice as much as the average! There is a lot of resistance in the forefoot of this shoe.
But on a positive note, this higher stiffness puts less pressure on the wearer's toe joints and helps the foot roll through each strike more seamlessly.

Reebok Runr 96 | 26.8N |
Average | 14.3N |
Weight
A leather shoe with a massive DMX MAX setup is not really meant to be lightweight. But it does feel a little hefty on foot.
Showing a pretty high reading of 13.65 (387g) on our scale in a men's US size 9, this vetements reebok shoe proved to be significantly heavier than average. But if you put it in the context of similarly built leather shoes, then 13-14 oz is actually the norm.

Reebok Runr 96 | 13.65 oz (387g) |
Average | 10.09 oz (286g) |
Breathability
The vetements reebok Runr 96 is clearly not your best bet for sweltering summers.
Those modest perforations on top of its toebox don't make the best air channels, as our smoke-pumping test shows. Not even a tiny billow of smoke passed through the shoe's leather toebox.
Taking a closer look at these punctures through our microscope also revealed that they are blocked by the shoe's inner lining anyways.
A fabric tongue allows to use less leather in the shoe's upper but it doesn't help with ventilation either. This vetements reebok shoe still got the lowest possible breathability score of 1/5.

Durability
Toebox durability
But there are two sides to the coin and this non-breathable leather shoe paid back with notably stronger upper durability!
Having exposed its toebox material to sandpaper in our demanding Dremel test, we were impressed with how minimal the damage was! That earns the vetements reebok Walk Ultra 7 a high toebox durability score of 4/5!

Average | 3.2 |
Reebok x Kit-Cat Clock Classic Club C
Even the shoe's internal mesh stood up to the sandpaper challenge with just a minor scuff. And beEx-O-Fit of that, we expect its heel padding to last a good while with a high heel padding durability score of 4/5.

Барсетка vetements reebok серый меланж | Outsole hardness
It may not be apparent at first but there is a thick and dense rubber outsole camouflaged in the shoe's all-white colouring.
Pressing a durometer against it returned a significantly higher-than-average reading of 90.0 HC. This is one of the hardest rubber compounds we've come across in walking shoes albeit one without a fancy name.

Average | 78.0 HC |
Outsole durability
But the real durability test didn't start until we touched that rubber with our high-speed Dremel.
After 18 seconds of exposure, we were elated to see only 1.1 mm of damage in the outsole of this budget-friendly shoe! That makes it even more wear-resistant than average!
Reebok Runr 96 | 1.1 mm |
Average | 1.4 mm |
Outsole thickness
Not to mention that the shoe's rubber layer is pretty generously thick too. Our calliper returned an above-average reading of 3.5 mm.

Misc
Price
The vetements reebok Runr 96 is one of vetements reebok's affordable walking shoes that continue to prove their worth one version after another. We believe that the shoe has a lot of comfort and longevity to offer for the price, especially considering that it can be found at a generous discount.
It is a no-brainer if you need a simple but cosy leather shoe for day-to-day wear.
