FAQs
What makes the FloatZig 2 'springy'?
The 'springy' feel comes from the combination of the Superfloat+ cushioning technology, which is designed for high energy return, and the overall geometry of the shoe that promotes a responsive toe-off.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
The FloatZig 2 offers good cushioning for longer runs, but its primary focus is on responsive and 'springy' feel. For marathon distances, runners may prefer a shoe with more maximalist cushioning, depending on their personal preference and biomechanics.
Can I wear these for walking or gym workouts?
While comfortable for walking, these trainers are specifically engineered for running. For gym workouts, especially those involving lateral movements, a dedicated cross-training shoe might offer better stability and support.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should feel snug but not constricting.
What is the main difference between the FloatZig 2 and other Reebok trainers?
The FloatZig 2 distinguishes itself with its emphasis on a 'springy' ride powered by Superfloat+ cushioning, offering a highly responsive feel compared to trainers focused solely on plush comfort or maximum stability.
How often should I replace my FloatZig 2 trainers?
Running shoes typically last between 300-500 miles (480-800 km). Factors like your weight, running surface, and gait can affect lifespan. Look for signs of wear on the outsole and decreased cushioning in the midsole.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the materials to break in and mold to your feet. Adjust the lacing to find a more comfortable fit.
Reduced cushioning or 'spring'
Over time, cushioning can naturally compress. Ensure the shoes are clean and that no debris is trapped in the outsole grooves. If the issue persists after significant use, consider replacing the trainers.
Slipping during runs
Check the outsole for excessive wear or debris. Ensure you are running on appropriate surfaces for the shoe's design. If the outsole is significantly worn, it may be time for a new pair.
Leather upper shows creases or scuffs
Creasing is normal with leather and indicates use. Minor scuffs can be addressed with appropriate leather care products if desired. These cosmetic marks do not typically affect performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for running. They are compatible with most running surfaces, including roads, treadmills, and light trails. They are not specifically designed for activities requiring significant lateral support, such as basketball or intense cross-training.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the leather and textile upper with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a damp cloth to clean the midsole and outsole. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Insoles: If removable, take out the insoles and clean them separately with a damp cloth. Ensure they are completely dry before reinserting.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
