Skechers Mens GOrun Maxroad 5 Running Shoes

Product Information

Peter: As I said before, my first run in the Max Road felt a bit stiff--but they’ve broken in very nicely. They are a terrific daily trainer and long run shoe. Very comfortable, relatively light, well-cushioned without being mushy--and a lot of fun to run in. I’d highly recommend them to anyone who wants to get out and run some miles this summer and fall. A terrific training shoe. Very stable, reasonably bouncy and a solid value. Combination of mid foot plate impulse and stability along with front flexibility increases pace versatility Sam/Derek Along the sides of the shoe, instead of the horizontal stitching used in the MR4+, you have a denser section of mesh, reinforced by horizontal overlays running up the sides. While the base mesh is mildly elastic, this reinforced section does not stretch and serves to resist medial-lateral movement of the foot. As we move towards the heel, this is the part that is probably most similar to the MR4+. Jeff: It’s funny, some shoes Derek and I don’t see eye to eye on, but this one really seems to run the same for both of us. And that’s to say it’s a really fun shoe. You could run fast in them, but it can get a little unwieldy, they really shine when you just cruise at your easy pace, or slightly faster than your easy pace. And I kept thinking of the ZoomX Invincible, very similar bounce, but this is just a little more stable and roughly two ounces lighter.

Rear portion of the Skechers Maxroad 5. S on heel. Bright blue upper with a red midline on top of foam. Peter: The ride is smooth and efficient with a good amount of cushioning. It is fun, but not laugh out loud fun. More, “gosh, I really enjoy running” fun. They aren’t wildly different from the Ride 9, but I think I enjoy the Max Road more.

Personal: B- (This is a good shoe, but the design and stability are not optimal for me. I would prefer either something like the Razor Excess or the older Maxroad 3 Ultra as both tend to be more stable or firmer ) Skechers M-Strike® เสริมประสิทธิภาพและความนุ่มนวลในการลงเท้า และกระจายน้ำหนักทั่วฝ่าเท้าได้มากยิ่งขึ้น Healey, L.

The fit is true-to-size lengthwise, and overall the width is about average. I wouldn’t mind just a bit more room in the toebox, but it isn’t cramped - I just always appreciate a wide setup in the forefoot.

The first time I got hold of it, I fell for the traditional upper design. The mesh felt smooth, and the heel collar had a lot of padding to it. Putting it on, I was welcomed with a comfortable feeling. The fitting was snug, and the toe box was roomy. If there is a gripe, I would say that the upper is somewhat overdone in terms of materials. If the Adidas Prime X and and Nike Tempo Next% can have such thin uppers for significantly heavier shoes, I don’t see why Skechers wouldn’t do a ripstop variant upper for the MaxRoad. I also mentioned it before with the MaxRoad 4+ but I think they could use 1 more row of eyelets for the laces, and they absolutely should use inelastic laces for this shoe. Peter: The Clifton feels softer but somehow more responsive and easier to push through miles. For sheer cushion I’d consider Clifton, for a bit more of a standard trainer on Max volume perhaps the Max Road. The Clifton has a better upper for sure. Peter: Yup, that H plate tames the big slab of Hyperburst just right. I was a little worried on the first run that the shoe might be a little too stiff/firm, but I felt it give at just about 10 miles--so don’t be surprised if they take a little bit of time to break in. After the first run, the midsole has run incredibly smooth and efficiently. The Max Road 5 doesn’t have the big bounce of the NB Rebel V2, but it is a more controlled and efficient feeling ride. Peter: I sink into the Clifton and it robs me of momentum and energy. The Max Road 5 does not have that issue. Max Road 5 all the way.
