Matt: The Floatride Energy 2 is a lightweight trainer with a mostly smooth ride. The forefoot has a little less midsole which gives the shoe a little more ground feel and fluidity to the toe off portion of gait. This will work for easy days and workout days. The midsole's plush nature and the outsoles rigid combination help create a racing flat like feel to the shoe, but with all of the elements of a daily trainer. The drop ratio feels in the wheelhouse of 9mm and is very light weight. Heel: D: Smooth, Plush M: Slightly smooth, plushĭavid: The FFE 2 rides like a daily trainer that loves to go fast.
Thanks to the lighter weight design of the shoe, the cushioning is not super soft, but instead mildly soft and responsive, providing decent rebound with each step.įorefoot: D: Smooth, More Ground Feel M: Smooth and Flexible
The Floatride foam provides plenty of protection from heel to toe. The 9mm drop adds additional cushioning in the heel which provides a slightly softer feel in the heel versus the forefoot.

Matt: The full length Floatride foam provides a consistently mild softness throughout the shoe. This gives a nice propulsive drop with some ground feel and responsiveness at toe off. There is more midsole in the heel and midfoot portions of the shoe that gradually becomes less as it goes into the forefoot. The shoe is built with the same midsole and outsole across the entire shoe making the shoe very uniform and balanced feeling the same cushion heel to toe. From heel to toe the shoe is pleasantly cushioned without being overly unstable. The energy foam has some give to it that recoils back with a good amount of propulsion. There is a mild heel counter that I did not feel thanks to the great cushioning around the heel collar.įorefoot D: Lightly Plush M: Lightly Softĭavid: For how responsive the FFE 2 is, the shoe is surprisingly plush. The heel is fairly true to size and the extended heel collar has not caused any issues for me even while running sockless. The midfoot fits similar to the forefoot but the laces can easily snug down the fit.
It is flexible so those that need an even wider fit will still have wiggle room, but the overall fit is wider compared to the previous version. The mesh is lightweight and very breathable. The Floatride Energy 2 has one of the most comfortable uppers I have experienced and is extremely smooth against socks or bare skin. Sizing wise this shoe fits very true to size. Matt: The Floatride Energy 2 surprised me as a Reebok daily trainer with a wider forefoot/toebox. For those who like a tighter snug feel, they could probably go a half size down without problems. The shoe can become comfortably snug with a good lace down.

The tongue is pressure free and molds around the foot very well. The toe box is wide without feeling too spacious. The back portion of the heel collar rises up somewhat high, but does not give any irritation on the achilles. The heel has a lightly snug fit without any lateral translation or heel slippage. The midfoot is an average width, but can be comfortably snug if laced down tight. Heel: D: A hair wide though still true to size M: Normal widthĭavid: The FFE 2 is a true to size daily trainer with a relatively wide forefoot. Weight: 8.7 oz (men's size 9 per our measurements)įorefoot: D: Relatively wide M: Relatively Wide
