Here’s a review on the Reebok Classics from our friend, Kristen. If you’d like to guest post, please leave a comment below. Enjoy!
I must admit, when I laced up my ‘Classics’ before a recent workout I was a little apprehensive. As long as I’ve known, the Reeboks were a fashion statement, more than a shoe known for being a great workout companion. I headed into my workout with an open mind, and boy was I pleasantly surprised!
Comfort: The shoes have always been comfortable, for every day wear; that same comfort carried through my entire workout! I started with a jog around my neighborhood, on the cement sidewalk. I was surprised at how cushioned my feet felt. 7.5 out of 10
Support: After my sidewalk jog around the neighborhood, I did not have any negative effects such as shin splints. At the gym, I did weights, track, and agility. I Felt the shoe could have used a little more support at the ball of my foot, but my feet were not sore or strained after my workout. 6.5 out of 10
Performance: I had good traction on the cement while running, the track surface, the gym mats, and the hard wood floors. I did not slip. I did have to re-tie my shoes several times, but this could be remedied with longer laces or a different knot. 7 out of 10
Style: I really enjoyed working out in these shoes, and I know I looked good while doing it! The look of this shoe is great, and nothing completes a ‘planned to look unplanned’ gym outfit like an awesome pair of shoes. With so many color options, you just can’t go wrong with kicks like these. 9.5 out of 10
Overall, this was a surprisingly good choice for workout shoe. Sometimes newer is not always better. I’d say dust off those classics, or grab a new pair and give them a try, as a versatile addition to your shoe wardrobe rotation!
Awesome insight, Kristen! Thanks for the post!
