Review on Reebok Stark Primal Black Workout Sneaker by Bill Dahl

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I wanted to please them. Too roomy

I liked the style of the shoes. I've never had a special weightlifting shoe. I've always trained in running shoes as it's usually (reluctantly) included somewhere in my routine. I usually wear size 10 sneakers so I ordered a size 10 here. They had more room in the toe box than I expected which was good but as they were half a size bigger than I could afford. In this case, too, the chalice of healing seemed to be more spacious. Comfortable but allowed more movement than I would have liked. Just got off a size 10 Reebok Runner 3.0 which felt very tight - all over. I expected all Reeboks to fit like this, but I was wrong. Also, the sole lacked flexibility when walking. It sounded like a "clap" on the floor. I liked the outsole placement and grip (ropepro) but didn't feel these shoes were right for me. They felt very stable and flat which would be great for just lifting weights but I need something with less stiffness for my routine. Great shoe, just not what the doctor ordered.

Pros
  • EFFICIENT FOOT SUPPORT: These stylish shoes feature a molded EVA midsole for stability and cushioning; RopePro carbon rubber and molded toe cap for durability and protection
Cons
  • There are more interesting options.
