5 things that make Reebok Floatride a must buy

As the world is progressing towards a healthier lifestyle, running is fast becoming one of the most popular ways used by people to exercise physical discipline. What might start as a simple daily routine can soon change into something as serious as running for half-marathons and marathons.

It does not really matter whether a runner is an amateur or a professional as it is vital to have a good pair of shoes to have the best possible running experience. Reebok’s latest release, Floatride, is set to create waves in the runners’ community with an all-in-one running shoe that makes running even easier than it has been.

Here are five reasons why you have to purchase the fabulous Floatride:

#1 Chance to Feature in the Great Wall Marathon

The FloatRide is currently available in 25 exclusive Reebok stores in India. However, you can order the shoes to your doorstep at just the click of a button by ordering on Jabong, the exclusive online store for the FloatRide.

One of the standout reasons to buy these shoes is that you stand a chance to be selected to feature in one of the most challenging marathons in the world, the Great Wall Marathon, held annually in China.

Over 2500 runners from around 60 countries take part in the marathon and make it one of the most attractive running events of the year. One winner will be chosen from the set of people who ordered the FloatRide shoes between the aforementioned dates and will be granted an all-expenses paid trip, sponsored by Jabong, along with the chance to compete in the marathon.

#2 Consistent Cushioned Feel

Regardless of whether you are a runner or not, you would need your shoe to have a cushioning effect while you walk or run. Reebok has created the revolutionary FloatRide foam, which is 50% lighter than the commonly used EVA foam variant.

The FloatRide foam has consistent cell size throughout as opposed to a disorganised setup in the Standard EVA foam. This, along with the full rubber outsole, leads to a more consistent cushioned feeling for the entire life of the shoe which would not happen in the case of other running shoes

#3 Enhanced Gait Cycle Efficiency

FloatRide’s Float Foam is cushioned within an EVA support rim in the heel region which enables in centring the foot during the gait cycle that in turn helps providing enough agility to handle the foot landing each time. The heel-to-drop distance of 8mm makes it quite safe and allows for a better heel-to-toe transition and an improved gait cycle efficiency.

Regardless of the running style of the person, the heel structure helps the runner to get a superior running experience through the extra cushioning. This propels the foot while, at the same time, maintaining balance and stability. The cuts of the support rim, along with the outsole, also have the added benefit of being able to use the shoes to run on any kind of terrain.

#4 Added support and flexibility

With its seam-free ultraknit upper construction, Reebok have ensured the runners get added support and breathable flexibility. If you ever had a problem with an uncomfortable midfoot while running, the FloatRide will help you in giving a relaxed experience by providing support and comfort where it is needed most.

A lot of runners complain about feet not staying in place in the shoes, but with the caged lacing system, users of the Reebok Floatride can bid this problem goodbye.

Moreover, the comfort factor is just like that given by a slipper and assists the runner in running irritation-free.

#5 Style Factor

Reebok has ensured that the FloatRide is not just superior on the running track, but also made sure of creating a distinctive design that will allow it to be made use of when you are going out too. With the funky texture and colours, it could very well go along with something casual from your wardrobe.

The attractive design shoes come in green and blue and there could be a lot of heads turning your way while running, at work or while out at a party.
