Reebok Men's Classic Leather Sneaker

Comment

Review by consumer, Joseph Lupoli: The sneakers I received were made in China, but these are not knock-offs; they are indeed the original, well constructed Reeboks! In fact, when these sneakers arrived (promptly, Im happy to say), I went over them inside and out with a fine-toothed comb, checking for any markers that may whisper, "These look real, but theyre really well disguised knock-offs." But theyre real alright. The style and craftsmanship hasnt changed a bit. I am not being paid/rewarded to state this, but Best Brands Footwears claim that they do not buy or sell imitation shoes, appears to be true. I wear a size 10 M and Im glad chose to ignore the many reviewers here who stated these sneakers ran small and to "size up". These Reebok Classics size 10 M fit me perfectly! Of course, in all fairness to other reviewers, I do have the advantage of having rather narrow feet, which makes me an easier fit than most. And traditionally, Reebok sneakers have always been designed on the narrow side. So, those of you with wide or very wide feet may want to consider a different brand of sneaker. I hope this review is helpful.

Nice looking shoes but man is it stuff. Not recommended for flat feets. My left foot was in so much pain I had to take them off at work. The material is tough so you might have to wear them slot to break them in. I couldnt bear the pain

A long time ago, Reebok made these original classics with a flat gym/court sole and they probably still do, but this one has the same nice plain leather upper with more of a walk, run, crossfit sole, which is what I prefer. They have a clean retro look, fit well, and feel great instantly with no break-in time for me. And they give support but with shock absorbing foam & cushion. Hopefully, they hold up over time like my other Reeboks do. I am very pleased and recommend them if you are looking for some of the features I mentioned above.

They are exactly as I expected, except they were slightly wider than I anticipated. That was my fault. They still fit adequately for my use. Next time I will order a half size smaller and see how that works. The delivery arrived in the promised two days and the packaging was very sturdy. I have worn Reebok Classics for years, and Amazon is the only place where I can still find them.

When I received these I almost sent them back, but decided to break them in and see what happened instead. The best rating I can give after a month of wearing them is "OK." I have three issues: arch support, the lacing and the sole. There is no arch support in the shoe design. The footbed is a simple, completely flat piece, coated with a sticky adhesive on the bottom. Footbeds usually give some arch support, but these are totally flat. The footbeds were loose in the pair I received -- it looks like they were just dropped into the shoe in the factory (Viet Nam) when they were made. After you wear them a few times the heat from your foot sticks the footbed down. Also, the shoes were very tightly laced when they left the factory. I have a medium width, 10.5 foot and have never worn anything other than a standard width shoe. When I first put these on I could barely get my feet into the shoe, and I had ordered a half size up, size 11. It might sound silly, but it took a day or so for me to realize I had to loosen the laces -- I usually find shoes are ready to go when I take them out of the box. Finally, the sole of the shoe is very stiff. Take a look at the picture -- the sole is not very flexible at all. The treads and grooves on the bottom of the shoe come from a fused-on layer that is just 3/16" thick. All in all, these feel to me like a cheaply made shoe. They are not particularly comfortable, and I wouldnt buy them again.
