Reebok Outdoor Shoulder Bag | 3 Best Reebok Running Shoes in 2024

After conducting our extensive lab and run tests, the Floatride Energy 3 emerged as an easy pick for our best overall Reebok running shoe. This lightweight trainer brilliantly does everything we throw at it classicsks 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 pick 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 classics 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 classics 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 line. It combines immense comfort, surprising springiness and stability in a nice lightweight package while having a staggeringly low price.

At just £70, the Lite 3 sits very firmly on the lower end of the Reebok line, where the average shoe costs close to £110. 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 classics 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 classics 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 classics average—it provides the underfoot support that helps people with foot problems.

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

Among Rebook running shoes we tested in the lab and out in real-world settings, Zig Dynamica 4 caught our eye with the best style. It blends an eye-catching midsole with a stable ride at a really good price point. For only £90, it’s versatile enough for casual wear and other activities, making every cent worth it.

The unique midsole boosts our confidence, not only with its unusual design but also with our surefootedness. The cushioning feels supportive underfoot and our durometer confirms it won’t compress easily with a firm 27.6 HA reading. Zig adds width to its midsole to further stabilise our landings. Our calliper reveals the forefoot and heel are 3.2/8.5 mm wider classics average.

Zig highlights value for money by offering versatility. With its high level of flexibility and manoeuvrability, it easily doubles as a walking, gym, and casual shoe. Our bend test reveals it’s 32.3% more flexible classics average.

However, as stylish as it is, the midsole falls short in energy return. Runners in more serious training will want more responsiveness.
