REEBOK RETURNS AT LAST. A GENUINE Q SHOE !
Reebok made some great running shoes in the early 1990s and having ran my 5K and 10K PBs in them I've always considered them. Unfortunately since the mid 1990s they have usually disappointed. But not any more. This is quite simply the best shoe Reebok have made in years. Although classed as a cushioned shoe it has great stabilty thanks to a fairly broad base and good arch support. They feeling of support under the metatarsal heads encourages you to run and run as if on springs. The cushioning is excellent - a great balance between softness and responsiveness. The dynamic fit upper works really well to secure the foot in the shoe. It is well made, suits orthotics well and comes in at a reasonable price. Thoroughly deserves to succeed. Keep it up Reebok !
I've a slightly narrow foot and I would prefer the upper fit to be just a wee bit narrower ... but that's a minor quibble.
Main problem I've had are very limited outlets with half sizes available. Thank goodness for sportsshoes unlimited who stock them and provide an excellent service. Reebok online store also stocks them I see but cannot find them elsewhere. But maybe this relative lack of availability is one of the attractions?
A superb shoe. It's been worth waiting all those years for.
