Skechers Mens GOrun Maxroad 5 Running Shoes

Product Information

Matt: The Skechers GOrun Maxroad 5 fits me true to size in my normal US men's size 10. The width through the length of the Maxroad 5 is slightly on the performance side. The heel and midfoot are a hair snug with a little extra room in the forefoot/toebox. There is more volume in the shoe than the previous version and overall has a more trainer like fit. Despite that, the laces work very well with the upper if you want to tighten them down more.

Asics Kayano Lite 2 Review - Updated with more sustainability in mind, the KL2 brings high stability through geometry Peter lives in Austin, Texas and has been a sub 3 hour marathoner as well as a 1:25 half marathoner in recent years DPT/Footwear Science: B- ( While Hyperburst Ice itself is interesting, they lost a lot of the magic that made v5 so special. Kudos for price though) This is it!" A voice in my head screamed when I took it out for a run. The ride was soft and responsive. The transition was smooth, and I kept going. It felt like a marathon shoe. Performance: B+ ( Great shoe for daily training and long uptempo runs. Snappy forefoot, but very soft heel prevents it from going as fast as it could. Heel bevel is extreme and can be clunky during warm up)

SKECHERS Gorun Maxroad 4 และ 5 แตกต่างกันอย่างไร

Peter’s score: 9.5 No big issues with the Max Road 5. I’d like a slightly less absorbent upper, and I’m a bit worried about wear on the outsole, but a solid daily trainer and companion for long miles. David: I enjoyed my time in the Skechers GOrun Max Road 6 though I do have some recommendations. I feel the platform could have more sole flaring through the heel and forefoot. I think the heel could have a small plate or shank to stabilize the foam, even if it is not connected with the forefoot plate. My other recommendation would be to make the shoe less forefoot heavy and make the overall profile a tad more balanced. McLeod, A. R., Bruening, D., Johnson, A. W., Ward, J., & Hunter, I. (2020).

The Skechers GO RUN Maxroad 5™ is an ultra-cushioned, neutral road running shoe designed with highly-resilient HYPER BURST® cushioned pillars and Goodyear® rubber outsole. Jeff: Two years ago I fell in love from the first step of the Max Road 4. I could get past the sweaty upper, that bounce was something special and I wanted more of it. Then I ran two consecutive miles and the burning underneath each of my small toes was hard to ignore. I put some serious miles on them across more than a half dozen runs (hooray for long embargo times to allow for healing!) and literally every single run resulted with me having matching blisters underneath my small toes, and they weren’t mild blisters.

Repeated with virtually identical results in the MR4+, the Venn diagram of me being a A) heavier runner who B) midfoot strikes and C) supinates was enough to create a constant failure state as the midsole had way too much flex in the wrong place for me. Hoka Arahi 5: One of the best stability shoes of the year, and the best walking shoe as well. Versatile. Jeff: I’m a 10.5 in both shoes. I’d put myself in the category of runners who is still trying to get the Deviate Nitro to fit me properly. I find myself feeling really beat up after every run in them, especially around the ankles, which is a new experience for me. I like what Puma has done underneath the foot, the midsole and plate work very well together, and when worn A/B against the Max Road 5 the difference in plate feel at toe off is staggering. I’m also impressed by the outsole of the Deviate Nitro, it’s super grippy and durable. But the upper is really problematic for me, with a much more narrow toebox and I had to get creative with the lacing to free up room to pull off a runner’s loop to try to reduce heel slip. I think if you can get the fit down the Deviate Nitro could be a great shoe, but the Max Road 5 is much easier to dial in. You will note that the eyelet placement is pretty similar to MR4+ in terms of spacing, but they have done away with the dual eyelet design in MR4+ and went with a more conventional eyelet shape for the MR5.Matt: The Skechers GOrun Max Road 6 is a neutral shoe with some mild guidance elements that are offset by the increasingly compliant midsole. The midsole is slightly firmer initially, which combined with the significant sidewalls in the midfoot and slightly in the heel provide mild guidance in those areas. The mild to moderate stiffness in the forefoot from the H-plate provides some torsional rigidity that also provides mild guidance up front. This mild guidance throughout is offset slightly by the relatively normal to slightly narrow sole width for a maximal shoe shoe of this height. The midfoot narrows and there is only mild sole flare throughout the length of the shoe. This makes the Max Road 6 a great shoe if you just need sidewalls and some stiffness but if you need stabilization from geometry and a wider sole with this tall a shoe, it will be more on the neutral side. 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. Jeff: Skechers Performance MaxRoad went nuclear a few years ago when they introduced the Max Road 4 taking full advantage of their super bouncy and lightweight midsole material, Hyperburst. What had been a very solid and stable recovery shoe got explosive, making one of the bounciest shoes around. It wasn’t without issues, with many runners expressing their disappointment in the wool sweater upper, and personally I had a problem with the pod columns collapsing underneath my small toe on each side, causing major blisters in any run that went longer than two miles. A year later they “fixed” the upper, going with a more breathable and livable upper, but unfortunately (at least for me) the midsole didn’t change any and the blisters showed up almost before the sweat could. Jeff: No X-ray needed, this shoe definitely has something inside of it giving it a little more structure. I’m 100% in agreement with Derek, this plate does not give nearly the spring of so many of the current super shoes, but it does do an incredible job of not allowing the midsole to collapse - so that’s a huge win in my book. So that means we now have a Max Road shoe that’s super bouncy but also stable enough to log some solid mileage in. I didn’t notice the slow transition from the heel since I land on my midfoot, but from midfoot forward the superball bounce does enough of the heavy lifting.

Mac: I offer this comparison because each uses a slab of Hyperburst coupled with an H plate to mitigate mushiness. MR6 for training; Excess for races for me. Peter: The Goodyear outsole is a durable, grippy and has lots of rubber. Works well and will last “forever”. Peter: Rebel V2 is in contention for my favorite shoe of all time. The Max Road 5 is really good, but it’s not quite the Rebel V2 for me. The Rebel is bouncier and more fun--though far less stable. The engineered mesh upper has reinforced overlays throughout the shoe, with a fairly beefy heel counter all the way to a slightly reinforced toe bumper. In terms of fit, I would say it is essentially unchanged from that of the MR4+, being true to size , with decent width in the toe-box. All in all, I’m glad they didn’t change the basic fit of the shoe since MR4 as the general fit and volume was about right and would fit the vast majority of feet quite well.
