FitVille is best known for wide fit comfort shoes, and its Rebound walking shoes are among its most popular. Between July and September 2026 the brand launched a whole new generation of men’s Rebound models, all built on the same new platform but with different uppers and closures.
With six similar names, Nova, Nova Elite, Nova Edge, Nova Grand, Apex and Summit, it is easy to get confused. In this guide we explain what they share, how they differ, and which one suits your feet and lifestyle. Prices are from thefitville.uk at the time of writing.

What Every New Rebound Shoe Shares
All six models use the same core technology, according to FitVille:
- Dyno Foam Triple-Density Stability Foam: three EVA densities that FitVille says give up to 60% more responsiveness and 20% better stability.
- A 3-in-1 Ergonomic Insole System with a reinforced arch and deep heel cup, claimed to give up to 30% better foot support.
- An Eight-Point Traction outsole in full-ground rubber, said to be 20% lighter with 20% more traction.
- Wide (2E) and Extra Wide (4E) fittings in UK men’s sizes 7 to 14.
So the real choice comes down to how you want to put your shoes on, how they look, and your budget.

Hands-Free Models: Nova Edge and Nova Grand
If bending down to put on shoes is difficult, because of back pain, arthritis or simply a busy morning, the hands-free models are the ones to look at. The Nova Edge uses FitVille’s Step EZ design, with a supportive heel structure that lets you step straight in without pulling or fussing. At £65, in White and Grey or Black, it is also the cheapest model in the new range.
The Nova Grand is the premium hands-free option at £72. Its upper uses an advanced jacquard and engineered mesh composite, which FitVille says is tear resistant, light and breathable. It comes in Dark Blue and Grey, Jet Black, or Black and White.
Strap Models: Summit and Apex
The Summit combines a hands-free heel with an adjustable hook-and-loop strap across the instep, so you can step in easily and then fine-tune the fit. This is a great choice if your feet swell during the day. It costs £69 in Black and Grey, Dark Grey or Dark Blue.
The Apex uses an easy-adjust strap closure for a secure fit without laces. It costs £70 and comes in four colours: Black, Dark Grey and Black, Brown and Brownish Green, or Dark Blue and White. See the Rebound Apex.
Classic Laced Models: Nova and Nova Elite
If you prefer traditional laces for a precise fit, choose the Nova or Nova Elite. The Nova Elite, at £66, comes in Dark Brown and Light Grey, Jet Black, or Black and Metallic Gold, and highlights its podiatrist-designed insole.
The Rebound Nova, at £69, offers the widest choice of colours: Black and Metallic Gold, Jet Black, Dark Blue and White, Grey and Khaki, Navy Blue and White, and Silver and Black. It is a good everyday walking shoe if you want something that goes with everything.
Which Rebound Shoe Should You Choose?
- Best value: Nova Edge at £65, with hands-free entry.
- Easiest to put on: Nova Edge or Nova Grand.
- Best for swelling feet: Summit, thanks to its adjustable strap.
- Most colour choice: Rebound Nova.
- Most breathable upper: Nova Grand, with its jacquard mesh.
Who Are Rebound Shoes For?
FitVille designs its shoes for people whose feet need more room and support than standard trainers give. The product pages list common concerns such as arthritis, bunions, flat feet and plantar fasciitis. The roomy toe box lets toes spread naturally, while the deep heel cup and reinforced arch help keep the foot stable on long walks. They are also a sensible option if you spend a lot of the day standing at work.
Caring for Your Walking Shoes
- Remove the insole after long or wet walks and let both dry naturally at room temperature.
- Clean the mesh upper with a soft brush and mild soapy water, and check the product page before machine washing.
- Rotate between two pairs if you walk every day, so the foam can recover.
- Replace walking shoes when the outsole tread wears smooth or the cushioning feels flat.
Sizing Tips for Wide Feet
Choose Wide 2E if regular shoes feel slightly tight across the ball of your foot, and Extra Wide 4E for bunions, swelling or orthotics. Try new shoes on in the afternoon, when your feet are at their largest, and wear the socks you usually walk in. If you have diabetes or foot pain, ask a podiatrist for advice.
Conclusion
FitVille’s new Rebound family shares the same cushioning, insole and grip, so you can choose simply by closure and style. Go hands-free with the Nova Edge or Nova Grand, choose a strap with the Summit or Apex, or stick with laces on the Nova and Nova Elite. Prices run from £65 to £72. Find your FitVille Rebound shoes.
