The praise is not hype, June 1, 2009
Thirty two years ago, I broke a bone in my foot. Things never got better, and I've been living with pain ever since. However, close to a decade ago when a podiatrist gave me his short list of recommended shoes, Reebok DMX was on the it. I got substantial relief and made sure to seek out the same model for years to come. I stocked up when they became harder to find.
In more recent years, I've been wearing other brands. I recently found this pair on Amazon at a great sale price and decided to try Reeboks again. The description for these was completely different, as was the construction and latest buzz words. The DMX part no longer figured into the name, and was easy to overlook in the description. I didn't think it would be relevant. Ironically, DMX is now more prominently displayed on the shoe itself.
I was right not to expect these to be like the ones I had in the past. They looked and felt nothing like them and lacked the prominent air cushion. But they were far better than the old model, gave me better support, and left me in little to no pain.
They are also great overall running shoes and I'd still buy them if my foot recovered tomorrow. In fact, I fully expect my foot to recover soon. I finally found a podiatrist who was able to tell my the true source of my foot problem, so I'm not saying it will be the shoes that cure me. But they will aid in the recovery and remain my shoe of choice until Reebok tops them.

Great all around stability shoe. Great combination of stability and cushioning. This was not my first pair of Road Plus' and it won't be my last.

Great shoe!, July 11, 2010
This review is from: Reebok Men's Premier Road Plus KFS Running Shoe (Apparel)
7 years ago I had knee pain from running. I tried a variety of shoes, and none helped. I went to a running store and they recommended Reebok Premier DMX. I bought them and the knee pain was gone immediately. For 7 years and 5 marathon later I've been buying these same Reebok Premier shoes and have never had 1 day of leg pain or injuries since. Very comfortable shoe, great support, and very well made. I just bought 2 new pairs of these here on amazon.com. A deal at $50/each, easily double the price at a running store.
