I went to a running store and had them fit me for shoes and I've never been happier. I'll never guess again, my knees and shins are so happy.

I only have one pair of Reebok ZigTech's that I purchased for running, but they are so heavy I switch to wearing them when I only want to work on strength training or muscle failure. I prefer the Nike Free's for running as they are extremely flexible and very light weight.

For the type you are referring to;

ReebokFlex Transition: adds reinforcements in the front and back to enhance stability through your workout. (Reebok Website)
ReebokFlex Run: these shoes are designed to help your feet move and flex as you run, jump and stretch. (Reebok Website)
ReebokFlex Optimal: these shoes are designed to help your feet move and flex as you run, jump and stretch. (Reebok Website)

The Difference between the Run and the Optimal is the difference in the design of the upper fabric. The Run provides a minimalist style upper portion with low profile where as the Optimal seems to have just a bit more cushioning and a bit more support for the ankle.
