They also provide great traction which is much needed for any runner.

The midsole of the Reebok Classic Leather running shoes is made out of a die-cut EVA foam. There is not a whole lot of cushioning in the midsole of these shoes and, unfortunately, customers are not too happy about that. Many reviewers have suggested that if you are going to be wearing these that they recommend buying an insert or insole for added cushioning.

The upper of the Reebok Classic Leather shoes are made of, well, leather. Back in the '80s when the Classic Leather shoes were initially released, they were the first pair of running shoes that were made with a leather upper. They provide astounding comfort and phenomenal support that customers love. In addition to the leather upper, these shoes also feature a sock liner to help increase the comfort levels of these already comfortable sneakers. The upper of is surprisingly breathable and flexible, which makes them suitable for just about any activity.

When it comes to running shoes, the lighter, the better, you do not want to run any distance in shoes that are going to be too heavy and feel like weights attached to your feet.

Unfortunately, there is not a whole lot of information on accurately how much these shoes weigh, but customers all agree that they are lightweight and feel great on their feet.

Purchasing a pair of running shoes that have excellent ventilation is very important. You are going to need a pair of shoes that will keep your feet cool and dry when you are running, as you do not want to feel like your feet are suffocating when you are on the go. These sneakers are surprisingly breathable even though the upper is made of leather.

Customers love and appreciate the airflow that they provide. The shoes not only let the air in to cool you down when running but also allows the sweat from your feet to evaporate more quickly and escape the shoe easily.

These sneakers seem to be reasonably comfortable for the most part. Some customers have commented that the lack of cushioning in the midsole can cause some discomfort and they would prefer to have thicker padding underfoot, but they suggested if you purchase an insole for them the shoes become significantly more comfortable. The leather design of the upper increases the comfort levels significantly and is much appreciated by reviewers.

Customers have also mentioned that they fit relatively right to size, so that is something you may want to note when purchasing these sneakers.

One of the best features about these sneakers, according to many customers, is the look and style of them. They do have a classic look that they can appreciate. The shoes have been around since 1983 and have been designed just about the same since then, but always keeping the same classic silhouette. When you purchase these shoes, you can choose between black, white, black and gum, or white and gum.

That being said, these sneakers also give you the fun option of customizing the look and colors options giving you unlimited possibilities.

There is a reason these sneakers have been around for more than three decades and still going strong. These shoes are made to last; they can take quite the beating and will not suffer from premature wear and tear. The leather upper is strong and will hold together reasonably well so you will not have to worry about rips and tears. The outsole is also very durable, made out of a carbon rubber compound that will not wear down too quickly. It is nice to know that after you spend your hard earned money on these shoes that you will have a quality product that is going to last.

Some customers believe that the protection of these shoes can be questionable. When it comes to road hazards, such as rocks and branches, the sneakers have you covered. The rubber outsole will protect your feet from such obstacles. The problem, however, comes with the lack of cushioning in the midsole. As previously mentioned, the shoes have a very thin layer of cushioning that customers have commented too weak or almost non-existent.

Because of the lack of cushion, some customers have mentioned that after walking or running in these sneakers their knees and ankles begin to hurt and become sore and that it could lead to injury and discomfort for the runners. Again, many customers recommend inserts or insoles for an added layer of cushioning and protection.

When it comes to running, especially for speed, you are going to want a shoe that is going to give you a high energy return and a responsive ride. Unfortunately, the lack of midsole cushioning means these shoes are not very sensitive. Without the foam, your feet cannot sink into them and propel you forward, helping save your energy to run faster and longer.

If you decided to wear an insole in these shoes for extra cushioning, it is possible to make these more responsive, but unfortunately, right out of the box they are just not going to get the job done.

These shoes may have a relatively thin midsole and little to no cushioning, but customers still say that they receive fairly good support from them when they are wearing them, even if they are not using additional inserts or insoles. Customers have stated that they have phenomenal arch support which some similar shoes and past versions had been lacking. Reviewers are happy to see that Reebok brought back the excellent arch support that they had seen in the past.

These sneakers are probably best used if you are running on flat and non-abrasive surfaces such as roads, tracks, and treadmills. It may be possible to run on other surfaces, though it is not recommended to go off the beaten path with these shoes. The rubber outsole will protect your feet from sharper objects, like rocks and stumps, if you do veer off the road a little, but they may not be the most comfortable and will not offer the best protection for trail running or hiking.

Many customers wear these shoes for a plethora of activities while walking, standing, or running on a variety of surfaces. Again, however, if you are going to be using these as a running shoe, it is recommended as a road running shoe and reducing the risk of injury or discomfort you should stick to those recommendations.

When purchasing shoes for any occasion, it is essential to remember that you are making an investment, and as such you should keep in mind that you may have to pay a little bit of money up front to get a superior product. If you invest your money correctly and buy a quality product that is not going to fall apart quickly and easily, then you will not have to worry about spending that hard-earned money again for a while.

When it comes to these shoes you will not have to worry about your investment, customers have purchased many pairs of these shoes, and they have stated that they got their monies worth out of them and they would recommend them to their friends and family.

The best part of these shoes, according to many customers, is their relatively low price point. The affordable price tag draws the customers in, and the classic look and design of these keep them coming back for more. The MSRP, manufacturer's suggested retail price, of the Reebok Classic Leather sneakers, rings up at only $75 for one of the four basic color options. The price is slightly higher, but well worth it when you get into the customizable designs. That being said, however, with many things nowadays, you can generally find these online for far cheaper.

These sneakers have an outsole that is made out of carbon rubber and has a design on the bottom that gives customers excellent traction.
