Daily Trainer

Reebok FloatZig 2

Reebok's everyday road trainer — springy Superfloat+ foam over Zig geometry, built to cover most of a week's running.

The FloatZig 2 is Reebok's everyday road trainer, the shoe behind the brand's running comeback. Superfloat+ foam sits over the Zig geometry Reebok has used for years, and the ride it produces is springy rather than plush — it gives something back on easy miles and holds together when the pace lifts.

It suits you if you want a trainer you stop thinking about after a week of wearing it, and would rather spend the difference on the shoe you race in. A supportive upper and a carbon rubber outsole are why it lasts.

It is not a race shoe. There is no plate and no rocker, and Reebok publishes neither a weight nor an offset for it, which tells you what it is sold on: comfort and mileage. It is not a trail shoe either — the outsole is road rubber and will slide on wet rock.
