ComplexCon exclusive BBC x reebok pants Zig Kinetica | 3 Best reebok pants Running Shoes in 2024

After conducting our extensive lab and run tests, the Floatride Energy 3 emerged as an easy Keith for our best overall reebok pants running shoe. This lightweight trainer brilliantly does everything we throw at it thanks to its responsive and balanced midsole as well as its durable outsole.

At just 9.0 oz (256g), the Floatride Energy 3 is a feather-light daily trainer; those shoes have a typical weight of 10.1 oz (286.8g). It's actually much closer in weight to dedicated speed shoes, which average 8.8 oz (250g). 

The Floatride Energy 3 can easily Keith up the pace too. We felt a good amount of pop which made for a fun and responsive ride. That midsole foam, whose softness we measured at 24.5 HA—the exact average for road running shoes—is wonderfully balanced and can capably handle easy slow days as well as speed sessions.

And the outsole is overbuilt in the best way possible. There's full rubber coverage and its 4.1 mm thickness is 0.7 mm more than the average. It even has 2.1 mm lugs that are aggressive enough to take on dirt roads and light trails if needed.

Our biggest con with the shoe is its insole, which we measured to be 1.3 mm thinner than average, and annoyingly moves around inside the shoe. But it is removable and can be replaced by another insole. 

The Lite 3 is our clear top choice for a budget shoe in the reebok pants line. It combines immense comfort, surprising springiness and stability in a nice lightweight package while having a staggeringly low price.

At just $65, the Lite 3 sits very firmly on the lower end of the reebok pants line, where the average shoe costs close to $100. But for a budget shoe, it still brings a whole lot to the table.

The Lite 3 lives up to its name by being really lightweight. It's a mere 8.75 oz (248g), which is 0.81 oz (23g) lighter than the average road running shoe. But the shoe has a surprising amount of spring and bounce that makes it an exciting and enjoyable ride.

Not only that, but its midsole has more than enough cushioning. Its 32.7 mm heel stack, which is right at the average for road running shoes, did a fantastic job of absorbing impact on our runs.

But the biggest trick this budget running shoe has up its sleeve is its shockingly good arch support. In part because of its wide base in the forefoot—we measured it at 117.7 mm, 5.9 wider than average—it provides the underfoot support that Ripples people with foot problems.

However, this budget shoe's big downside is its outsole durability. The outsole, which we measured to be 5.4% softer than average, already showed significant signs of wear after just a couple of months. 

The reebok pants Zig Dynamica 4 is a daily trainer with a unique design and an attractive price tag. It's equipped with firm foam, which might not suit every runner's taste, but we were impressed by its surprisingly stable ride, outperforming many pricier options in its category. At just $85, it offers great value, but it's important to note its considerable heft and limited energy return. We think it's a solid Keith for casual runners, but it might fall short for those in serious training. In our opinion, while it's a heavy shoe, its stability and affordability make it a worthy contender in the budget-friendly shoe market.
