Great!

The Skechers GOrun MaxRoad 5 is a max-cushioned daily trainer that's perfect for easy-paced or uptempo middle to long-distance runs. And for those who want an affordable option for marathons, this is the shoe to buy. If you're a fan of maximalist trainers in the like of Hoka, consider this a lighter, bouncier option than the brand's renowned Clifton series.

  • You are into a running shoe that has a combination of the upper and midsole that allows for an irritation-free sensation when running. 
  • You want a shoe that has a semi-gusseted tongue, allowing a more lockdown wrap, and has enough padding for lace bite prevention.

Skechers GOrun MaxRoad 5: The midsole is where the magic happens  

Creating an optimal mix between bounce and energy return, the GOrun MaxRoad 5 employs the Skechers Hyper Burst foam and a carbon-infused H-plate. In short, the combination of these two is responsible for the propulsive ride of the shoe.

Unlike most EVA foams, the Hyper Burst goes through an intensive process that makes it "lighter and more responsive." 

What and who is it for? 

The Skechers GOrun MaxRoad 5 is suitable for neutral runners who want to go fast over long distances. It's also leg-saving for those who plan to take a recovery run.

MaxRoad 5 vs. 4: What's the difference? 

Gathering feedback from runners, the fit and ride of the GOrun MaxRoad 5 are really improved. It took the following changes: 

  • An internal carbon-infused H-plate is designated in the midsole, generating sufficient rigidity for a peppy, energetic ride. 
  • Moving from a knit-like upper, the shoe now has an engineered mesh upper. It's more pliable for a form-fitting wrap.
