Setup and Initial Fit

Proper fit is crucial for comfort and performance. Follow these guidelines for initial setup:

1. Sizing: Refer to the size chart below to ensure you select the correct size. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the chart. Some users find these shoes run approximately half a size larger than standard.
2. Lacing: Lace the shoes securely but not too tightly. Ensure even tension across the laces to prevent pressure points. Experiment with different lacing techniques if you experience discomfort.
3. First Wear: Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to conform to your feet. Avoid long runs or intense workouts during the break-in period.

Operating (Usage)

The Reebok Forever Floatride Energy shoes are designed for various running activities. Key features contribute to their performance:

• Floatride Energy Foam: This midsole technology provides lightweight, responsive cushioning, offering a balance of softness and energy return for an efficient stride.
• Engineered Mesh Upper: The upper material is designed for breathability, keeping your feet cool, while also providing necessary support during movement.
• Lightweight Heel Counter: Ensures your heel remains stable and locked in place, reducing slippage and enhancing overall fit.

These shoes are suitable for daily training runs, tempo workouts, and longer distances. Adjust your running form and intensity as needed to maximize comfort and performance.

Maintenance

Proper care extends the lifespan of your running shoes and maintains their performance characteristics.

• Cleaning:
  • Remove loose dirt with a soft brush.
  • Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents.
  • Clean the outsole with a brush to remove embedded debris.
  • Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
• Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources, which can cause materials to shrink or crack.
• Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If storing for extended periods, consider stuffing them with paper to help maintain their shape.
• Rotation: If you run frequently, consider rotating between two pairs of shoes. This allows the cushioning to fully recover between runs, potentially extending the life of each pair.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your shoes, consider the following:

• Discomfort or Blisters:
  • Ensure proper sizing and lacing.
  • Wear appropriate running socks.
  • Allow for a break-in period.
• Excessive Wear:
  • Running shoes have a finite lifespan, typically 300-500 miles, depending on individual use and running style.
  • Inspect the outsole for significant wear patterns, which may indicate a need for replacement or a review of your running gait.
• Odor:
  • Ensure shoes are thoroughly dried after each use.
  • Use shoe deodorizers or baking soda to absorb odors.
