Recently, Reebok asked me to try out a pair of new Reebok Skyscape sneakers. The Skyscape is an extremely lightweight walking shoe. Each shoe reportedly weighs just 5 ounces. How light is that? Well, thanks to my postal scale, I was able to compare the Skyscape to other footwear that I already own:
Why are these Reeboks so light? They’re made of foam! The shoe upper feels like its made of a cushioned, stretchy wetsuit-type material. (Reebok’s publicity materials state that the shoe upper is actually made with a similar process to that of foam bras.) The sole is also made from a lightweight plastic/foam type material. Quite honestly, I’ve never owned a shoe that was constructed in this way. It weighs next to nothing, but it doesn’t feel “cheap” or unsupportive.
Skyscapes come in a variety of colors (if you’ve seen the TV commercial currently airing, you’ve seen the vibrant hot pink style!) but I opted to go with a black upper/white sole style. And, while I usually like to wear shoes around the house to break them in before wearing them for extended periods of time, I received these shoes right before taking part in a cross-country blogger adventure! What better way to see how these shoes performed than to walk across much of the country in them? And walk I did!
Despite all of the walking I did in these shoes, I never experienced blisters or any kind of foot pain either. And by the time my “walk across America” was over, my Skyscapes certainly needed a washing…
More about Reebok Skyscapes:
An everyday shoe for active and casual wear, Skyscape features 360 degrees of foam comfort in a fun, flirty silhouette that pairs perfectly with jeans, skirts or yoga pants and is so comfortable, you’ll forget you have it on.
The Skyscape upper is crafted using the same manufacturing techniques and processes as molded foam bras, but using materials that have been optimized for the stresses and strains placed on the feet all day. The seamless, 2-way stretch material creates a soft, comfortable envelope around the top and sides of the foot, while allowing for natural foot movement and breathability. The sole of the shoe resembles cloud-like pillows, and provide cushioning, comfort and flexibility for all-day comfort. The flirty lace-up silhouette comes in a broad range of colors to match any outfit or mood.
