I love this shoe. The forefoot could be a tad wider, otherwise it's almost perfect. The Archfit fits/feels great, whereas the Archfit in the Ride 11 feels pretty extreme and rolls my feet outwards. The weight doesn't bother me. Big thumbs-up.
Had two pairs of the maxroad 4, love them. I was excited about the 6, bought it and tested for 3 miles, the Arch Flick was painful, everything else was great. They had to go back, got NB SC trainer instead, couldn’t be happier
On the question of why the 'H-plate' is needed, refer back to Thomas interviewing Tony from Skechers. He seemed to be indicating that, with all the plush foam, they need to guard against a "slushy" toe-off. Maybe they'll eventually employ different approaches for that.
Couldn't agree more the foams in the mid soles of the skechers shoes are unbeatable ive got the Ride 11. The problems with skechers are there uppers and the lack of versatility. Many of the modern day long run shoes have more strings to their bows and offer greater versatility.
I'm glad that Skechers still has a legit Maxroad 5 successor in Ride 11 now. The combination of cushion and lightweight in the MR5 seems difficult to reproduce. I personally credit NB for causing this Maxroad to be something else, by creating that >40mm stack category.
Loved the 4 and 4+ even more. One of the few shoes I bought multiple pairs of instead of trying something else. This shift to heavier and stiffer with this version means I'll skip it in favor of other shoes like the endospeed-3. Hyperburst truly is the best feeling/riding midsole material in my opinion. Also, I would wear through the outsole and make the shoe unrunnable in about 200 miles (hyperburst wears as fast as chalk on the pavement) despite the "Goodyear" name being on it. This one looks like it would wear better. Bring it back down under 9oz and I'm all in.
Take a look back about 8 months ago, Thomas interviewing the Skechers rep. Tony indicates that they needed to use a softer 'core' foam, in order to provide a competitive step-in feel. Also seems to be indicating that the non-racing foams are actually EVA-based supercritical. TPU on the race shoes.
Going to Japan really soon and im looking for the best comfort walking shoe. I own a pair of New Balance SC trainers, but for me they're not the best walking shoes, sometimes i can feel the plate. This look really promising so im going to give them a try.
I tried the V5 and sent them back after about 20 miles. The midsole did not provide a cushioned ride...maybe it was just the pair I got? The V6 would have to be much better than the V5.
Got blister in my underfoot with the v6 sadly. Do you have any updates for the Prime XStrung 2 review? Got them on Tuesday and received them yesterday they’re quite amazing to me
@@Believeintherun Nop New York City. I saw it available Tuesday morning randomly while doing my daily check up on Adidas store. Promo code we’re working so I got them for 30% and was delivered next day.
Agreed as wider foot runner love the upper fit ; that last 1080 v12 midsole just didn’t work for me after 150 miles. just dead cushion and just didn’t last long enough for price . If they fix the midsole I will be right back to 1080.
Interesting shoe. Just found out about it now. I was looking for a max shoe. NB More v4 and Nike invincible run 3 I was in between. I have the 1080 and I have the invincible run 2.
They're TERRIBLE! They were great to start with but after just 5 months the cushioning started collapsing to one side. And I'm only 11 sone (70kg). When I complained thye told me it was 'MISUSE'!!!!!!! Disgusting company!
I would argue that much of it is of their own making. If you go to a Skechers outlet looking for these, or just take a brief look around online, what happens ? You get bombarded with attempts to sell you the dozens of more casual Skechers models. Hoping you will forget/ignore any difference. Quickly becomes apparent what is the core business. Not every reviewer loves the relatively scarce 'serious running' models, as much as Robbe does, either.
I like the new design. The s in the rear side is phenomenal looking.
I bought these for my buddy who broke his leg, and is now doing PT. He liked em so much on his old legs , he bought his papa a pair.

I wish they didn't make the V6 so heavy. The V5 was an excellent shoe.

Robbe was hilarious as usual in this video! I couldn't stop laughing lol
I agree skecher has one of the excellent supercritical foam

I'm 43 and I'm still too young to run in SkeTchers.

Who cares what they look like. It's not a pagent.
I don't get it

Like for Thomas and Robbe. A nice weekend for everyone.
The h plate helps the midsole from sinking in. Keeps the foam square and springy in front.
MUST have a comparo vid tween the Maxroad 5/6 and the GO RUN Supersonic Max, or the Ghost Max and Supersonic Max

Same outsole as the GO RUN Ride 11, core AND carrier, but much more plush.
The hyperice is TPU instead of eva so should be more responsive and bounce then soft

Sketchers are the Vespa of Motorsports.
Buy it, put a Hoka-sticker on the Skechers logo, and be happy.😀
Sounds like a great shoe. Just wish they made it in sizes above 12.

Need a Trail version of the Maxroad 5
MAX Road 6 vs NB more v4?

AWESOME SHOE!
The GRR 11’s are very good.
Got blister in my underfoot with the v6 sadly.

I hope the new 1080 is a half size shorter but keeps the same width. Then it will be perfect.

I got all of them u mentioned
Can i use this shoe for hiit or crossfit?
Please suggest a shoe for 100 mile road ultra..
1 run and I sent back. MR 5 was almost perfect. I just didn't like the fit in the forefoot. I'm sad...
is it narrow? I need a wide forefoot, one day I tried the ride 9 or 10 and it was very snug, I thought the MR6 could be a lot wider, Thanks.
For bounce and recovery runs, this or the Superblast?
I'd personally go with this for those types of runs, Superblast is more versatile though - R. This falls more into that New Balance SC Trainer range
Would like to see soft shoe Meaghans opinion
I'd like to see if it fits any of the wider testers, like Meg. I mean, if your gonna bring up NB's like the 'More' and such.

oooo 340 gram thats right up my ultraboost alley, u guys have fun with your flimsy 100km shoes I prefer a weighty tank to last

Thomas talking over Robbie gets so annoying, right? Every video and podcast it gets so distracting for me.
Yet here you are again.
