Full details

The Reebok FloatZig 2 Trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking a springy and responsive feel for both easy and fast-paced runs. They feature Superfloat+ cushioning for energy return and a supportive upper, offering a soft, smooth ride. A potential consideration is that the cushioning might feel very responsive, which could be an adjustment for those accustomed to softer, more traditional trainers.

FAQs

What makes the Superfloat+ cushioning special?

Superfloat+ cushioning is designed to provide a highly energetic and responsive ride, returning more energy with each step compared to traditional foam compounds, leading to a 'springy' sensation.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The standard fit is designed for average width feet. If you have significantly wide feet, it's recommended to try them on first or consider models specifically designed for wider widths. Sizing up half a UK size might provide a bit more room.

Can I use these for gym workouts?

While the trainers are versatile, their primary design is for running. They offer good stability for light gym activities, but for heavy weightlifting or cross-training requiring significant lateral support, specialized shoes might be more appropriate.

How do I know if the UK size 7 is the right fit?

A proper fit should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and there should be no pinching or excessive tightness around the midfoot.

What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?

The lifespan varies depending on usage frequency, intensity, and running surface. Typically, running shoes are recommended to be replaced every 300-500 miles or when the cushioning feels less responsive and the outsole shows significant wear.

Is the Cyan/Black colorway breathable?

The breathability comes from the engineered mesh upper, which is designed to allow air circulation. The color itself does not affect the breathability of the material.

Troubleshooting

Unusual squeaking noise

This can sometimes occur due to air trapped between the sole components or moisture. Try walking on different surfaces. If the noise persists, a small amount of talcum powder applied to the insole might help. Ensure the shoes are completely dry.

Slightly tight fit

Wear the shoes with thin socks initially and gradually increase sock thickness as the shoes break in. You can also try a shoe tree to gently stretch the width or length if needed. Avoid using extreme heat to stretch.

Reduced responsiveness over time

Ensure the shoes are clean and free of debris, especially in the outsole grooves. Check for wear on the outsole and cushioning. Over time, cushioning naturally degrades; for optimal performance, consider replacing trainers after 300-500 miles of use.
