I love my Skechers. I bought a pair for $40 at Target to train for a marathon, thinking I’d probably switch to Hoka or something. No need. They’re comfortable, they hold up, and all of my training runs have been in the sub-4 time I’m looking to do on race day. Anyone telling you to buy $300 shoes to meet your goals is just selling shoes 😅
Hyperburst is quite the Russian roulette game. I have two pairs of the GRR 8’s and the foam feels different in each shoe. I noticed that they were each made in different countries: the black pair( softer) in Vietnam and the blue in China(firm).
The razor excess is a fantastic shoe,im 150 miles in on mine and absolutely no wear on the outsole i do mainly use them on roads and for racing the cushioning is just right!👍
I have the MR 5 (x2), Razor 3 (x2), Razor +, Razor Elite, Razor Excess, Speed Freak and Horizon Vanish in my rotation. The Excess 2 is OTW and should be better with the new upper. MR5 has been my go-to for the last 2 marathon blocks I've had.
@@RyansRunningReviewsYT The Razor Excess 2 is just that shoe! The Go Run Ride series has be great over the years too. Other advantage Skechers gives is their price points.
I have run well in several models of Skechers, including trail models. Many running snobs discount them and it’s their loss. My friends laughed when I bought my first Hokas. Several of them now run in them. Ignore doubters.
I have all the models discussed except the Ride 9 and trail shoe. I also have their carbon plated racer, the Speed Freek. I'm a Shoe Koo Koo Bird and have 26 pairs of running shoes. I concur with your preferences. BTW, the buzz on the Razor Excess 2 was an improvement, especially the upper. It's getting high marks.
Great review. Thank you. The factor that is most critical to me is the width. For example, I tried on the New Balance More V3 and the Saucony Triumph and the ASICS Nimbus 24 recently. The More V3 was roomy, the Nimbus 24 was snug but OK, while the Triumph was too narrow with the arch support cutting into my foot. I then tried the wide version of the Triumph and it was fine. It sounds like from your review that the Razor Excess would be wider than the Maxroad 5. I can handle different levels of cushioning just fine, but I have to have enough room on the mid foot and toe box.By the way, how is the width in the Razor Trail?
For me the Excess was just slightly wider than the Maxroad 5 in the toebox. The Razor Trail has a really tight fit. Probably the most sung out of all the Skechers shoes I tried. Thanks for watching!
@@RyansRunningReviewsYT Thank you very much for your reply. I tried on an ASICS Cumulus 23 today and the fit was very comfortable for me. I think that I will go ASICS for my next shoe purchase, perhaps Novablast 2 or the Noosa Tri 14 when it releases in April.
I was SOOOOO stoked for the Triumph 17, but I feel they were a dud. I have the More 3 in my rotation. Waiting a year for the 24 price to be reasonable.
@MrChad97Z Thank you for this reply. Super helpful. My issue tends to me my toes getting scrunched together and the arch cutting into my foot. I have a pair of On Running Cloudstratus V2 and that has plenty of room in the toe box. The Cloud Monster that I run in now is a tighter fit but still usable. New Balance More V3 is just about right for me. Saucony in general seems too narrow for me. I would like to try out more ASICS shoes but I am worried about them being too narrow.
I had to return the Maxroad 5s, it was a ridiculously hard foam. More than I expected since no one really talks about it. Started having back pain which I never get while running. I ended up buying the Endorphin Speed 2s (of course) instead and freaking love them. I will say my pace was faster than normal in the MR5 just like the Speeds but the Speeds are also comfortable. I may give Skechers another shot in 2022 though. Thanks for the vid!
The MR5 is on the harder end of things but I wouldnt say it's crazy firm like some other shoes. The Speed 2 is great and is probably my favorite fast shoe. They're new shoes will be coming out shortly so i'm excited to give them a shot! Thanks for watching!
It's interesting how people can have such different experiences in running shoes. I can't wear running shoes with hard foam and have no issues with the Max Road 5. I thought I was going to lose a tooth filling when I tried the Ride 14.
@@mtmatt6111 same here.. i can't run in stiff foam, yet i found hyperburst felt so damn good for my running.. Not so mushy but responsive, my knees feel no pain whatsoever
No word on the Razor +! I was told the Razor Excess v2 would be available in mid February but I have yet to see anything. Let me see if I can find out through my contacts.
@@RyansRunningReviewsYT thanks! The Razor 3 was one of my favorites and I still have one pair left. I held off buying the Razor + because I figured it was similar. If they are discontinuing it, I'll definitely pick up a pair!
How do you guy's get excess to all these shoes?🤔 I'm in love with Sketchers but out here you can't get the high end Sketchers. If only I can get 2 of those for my Marathons
@@RyansRunningReviewsYTthanks but here is South Africa it's hard to get the best quality Sketchers running shoes. Buying them is not a problem but it's like we buying replica they get tough quickly
The looks of the Maxroad 4 and 5 are HIDEOUS, compared to the 3 Ultra. THAT was a good shoe, and looked good. Whoever is in marketing, and thought the looks of the new Maxroad is the thing, should be horsewhipped.
Hello Sir I am looking for max cushion running shoes for Road running. Daily I run on HARD SURFACE for 3/4 mile or 6/7 Kilometres So could you please suggest me few shoes with max cushioned?
at first sorry for my poor english. my expierence from sketchers now... i had bought 2 pairs no 47 or uk 13. they are cheap with very soft sole ...... ok!!! but ...... for a long walking and use, especially for a human with enough kilos for example,,,, are for rubbish!!!! {manufactured vietnam and china😒😒😒😒,poor quality} for me the point is,,, the shoe {every shoe} to give at the foot strong stability from upper....

Very interesting! I never thought about that. You've given me a new question to ask these shoe companies. Thanks for watching!
Thanks, I never thought of sketchers for running until this video.
They make some good ones depending on what you like!! A lot of people don’t know about Skechers Performance
The razor excess is a fantastic shoe,im 150 miles in on mine and absolutely no wear on the outsole i do mainly use them on roads and for racing the cushioning is just right!👍
I like it a lot for those faster days. It's so light too! Thanks for watching!
Skechers is so underrated! Great selection.
They are! Thanks for watching!
@@RyansRunningReviewsYT Their junk shoes, that wear out faster than any brand!
@@bobsibert1968but there soft and have the most simple designs

You are dedicated to the Skechers brand!! I think if they can figure out the upper game they will have some serious winners here

Not your dads average sketchers!!!! Love this!
Love your reviews
Awesome review!!
Thanks for watching!
Big fan of the sign 🔥👏🏻
Need help.... i used to wear go run 2 and go run 3.... since then it seems sketchers have many versions... what would be the Go run 3 equivalent
Thanks for the vid!
Thanks for watching!
Talking about glow midsole, Skechers already had one, Skechers max road 4 bright had built in LED inside their midsole
Oooo that would have been fun to try!!

Hope to see reviews for Skechers max cushion running shoes next.
I’ll see what I can do!!
love sketchers underrated but great design and comfortability
Hyper burst or ultra go cushion...Which is better
I have a pair of Forza 3 that I prefer over my Brooks so much I hunt for old new stock because they don’t make them anymore.
Could you suggest me maximum cushioning shoes for daily running on hard surface ?
Nice review! Do you know if Skechers is coming out with a new version of the Razor + this year? I do know that v2 of the Razor Excess is coming!
No word on the Razor +! I was told the Razor Excess v2 would be available in mid February but I have yet to see anything. Let me see if I can find out through my contacts.

How do you guy's get excess to all these shoes?🤔 I'm in love with Sketchers but out here you can't get the high end Sketchers. If only I can get 2 of those for my Marathons
I’m in the Maryland area (USA) and we have a lot of local running stores. This pair came from Feet First Sports in Columbia, MD USA
@@RyansRunningReviewsYTthanks but here is South Africa it's hard to get the best quality Sketchers running shoes. Buying them is not a problem but it's like we buying replica they get tough quickly
Never think skecher give Marathon running shoes .... I don't believe insole ... I believe in midsole ...where Asics give more shock absorb in Gel ....
Hello, do you have any shoes you can recommend for wide feet?
The looks of the Maxroad 4 and 5 are HIDEOUS, compared to the 3 Ultra. THAT was a good shoe, and looked good. Whoever is in marketing, and thought the looks of the new Maxroad is the thing, should be horsewhipped.
I think they would use a styling update for sure.
It very comfortable.. thousand time better then the puma velocity nitro 2..
Bruh! For running, elite comes first for me, then excess and that's it. The rest I am using for work lol.
Your sign is AWESOME
Thanks!!
Had no idea sketches had a performance brand
Does this work for flat feet (overpronation)?
Which shoe are you tally about? The Razor excess is probably the most stable
Great review Ryan! thanks a lot. It will be really great if you can do another round of the same kind of review for their 2023 successors 😊
" shorter race day like a half marathon " ? . Am I on an altra site ?
sad they didn't send you Speed Freek!
Shoes are in short supply now! Plus I am a size 12.5/13 which is hard to come by for some models
When your worst regular running shoe is good overall, it’s a sign you’re on the right way.
True! This list is more my personal preference so you can that into account too
Did sketcher have 0MM heel drop😂
no, they range from 6mm-8mm drop

Love hyper burst ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It's super light!
The soles on the Maxroad 5 look.......sketchy.
didn't have an issue. ran with them in the rain too and they held fine.
Sketchers are awful shoes
They hurt your feet and have no support
Lots of fatigue if you walk more than five minutes at a time
I've never had running shoes that wear out so fast, Skechers are JUNK!!
yea the outsoles are too thin
