Review on Reebok Stark Primal Black Workout Sneaker by Chris Riley

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not bad for the price, but too long!

I carry 10 in every shoe including my current Nike Cross which I use at the gym and wanted a weightlifting shoe as 95% of my workout is weightlifting. So I ordered a pair of these Reeboks in a size 10 and they ended up being 1.5 inches too long. The width was ok but my toes didn't reach the bottom of these shoes and it's bad for foot support so I returned them and ordered a pair of 9.5 inches. To my surprise, these shoes were too long! So I made another bet and ordered a pair of 9's and they matched in length but were a bit tight at first. After wearing them all day they have stretched a bit but still fit a bit. Since they are only used in the gym, that's fine and I left them. Then I wore them to the gym and was very glad I swapped my dirty sneakers for real sneakers. They offer much better support and traction when lifting, and I've been running without them for four years now, so I really noticed a difference on my first day at the gym. So 4 start ranking.

Pros
  • Shaft size about low from arch
Cons
  • boring packaging
