Reebok Footwear Unisex' Floatride Energy X Reebok Running Ftw Men Black , 9 M US

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'd always wanted to try out a carbon plate running shoe. Having already tried and liked the Floatride 3 and Symmetros, I was confident that I'd fine good use for the shoe regardless of how I felt about the plate. I've run about 45 miles with them and I've enjoyed them so far. The amount of foam packed onto these things becomes obvious when placed alongside the 3 and Symmetros. This makes the Energy X the most cushioned model and the plate does lend a sense of bounciness during a run. I think much of the design is working to improve the heal/toe transition or roll of the foot. The sole is definitely rounded, and the plate makes you feel like you're falling forward on the tips of your toes. Overall, while I can't compare these to other carbon plate shoes, I can say that they are an interesting addition to the floatride family.
