About this deal

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: I’m a 10.5 in all three. Very similar fun ride, but the 4 upper was a little toasty, and both the 4 and 4+ midsole collapse created some major problems for me. The plate update to the 5 is one of the best updates I’ve experienced in some time, well worth it to give the new one a shot. Saucony Triumph 21- The excellent Triumph from last year gets a new upper that dials in the fit for an excellent overall ride 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. Stability: B (Better stability than previous, particularly with plate and soft overlays in upper. However, the overly soft sole, overly flexible sole and narrowed midfoot take away from the shoe being as stable as it could be. )

The tongue still uses a suede section near the top but the meat of the tongue uses the same mesh material as the rest of the upper, plus some added padding for comfort. Healey, L. A., & Hoogkamer, W.

HYPER BURST ® cushioning midsole offers a highly responsive and ultra-lightweight running experience. This innovative resilient foam is created using a 'Super Critical ®' process with spherically-shaped cells compressed into the mids Personal: A (I found these shoes to be extremely comfortable and fun to run in. They may give my favorites a run for their money…)

I see the Go Run Maxroad 5 as a shoe outdoing itself. I don't expect a max cushion running shoe to be versatile. This one has all the features of a great daily training shoe. For a marathoner, lightweight, less carbon plate action with extra energy return, super cushioning, and breathable upper are what you need. Going by the price tag, you get more value than what you pay to own this shoe. Peter: I’ve been running these head to head. Craft is more efficient, firmer and a bit faster--but the Max Road 5 holds my foot WAY better. I’d give the edge to the Max Road 5.

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. 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. 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.

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. The MaxRoad 6 was a 70g jump from v5 for my size, a near-3oz jump, which is a lot to swallow. I expect a lot more wow from the ride and i didn’t quite get enough of a ride improvement here.

Derek: The outsole is unchanged from the MaxRoad 4+. There is strategic placement of GoodYear rubber on the segmented sections of foam. If MR4+ durability is anything to go by, you should easily get 400 miles from the shoes. I would have liked to see the medial and lateral forefoot rubber get more continuous coverage for a snappier forefoot feel, but I get that Skechers prefer to keep this as a long run cruiser type of shoe. 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. The tongue is somehow large, so it wraps around the foot. It is moderately padded, which I think is just enough to keep the instep comfortable. The tongue is not gusted, but it comes with a loop for running the laces through to keep it in place. 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.David: The Skechers GOrun MaxRoad 5 fits true to size in my normal 9.5. The width through the heel and midfoot is narrow and the toe box is normal to slightly wide. The upper has a similar construction of that in the GOrun Ride 9 and significantly improves the hold and reinforcement in the midfoot. There is a really small heel counter present but only in the bottom third of the heel. The rest is reinforced with a plush material in the heel. The engineered mesh is relatively lightweight and breathable and does have some overlays sprinkled throughout along the medial and lateral side that help give a little more structure. Overall the fit is quite nice throughout and feels like a nice construction for a daily trainer. The tongue is lightly padded but leans more towards a performance type tongue. There is a toe guard and an inner lining that also wrap medially and laterally that gives the foot a nice hold throughout with using a sidewall in the midsole.

Matt: My major recommendations for the Maxroad 5 focuses on the sole and the flex grooves. To further improve stability, I would encourage Skechers Performance to get rid of the flex grooves and go with a more traditional maximal shoe design. The Skechers GOrun Maxroad 3 Ultra is still my absolute favorite of this entire series. It was a large shoe, but actually weighed less (8.2 oz) than the current version 5. The HYPERBURST foam is light enough that if combined with a similar design, would create some inherent stability due to the wide base. Combine that with a plate and you may have a fantastic road ultramarathon shoe. So my suggestion is, design the Maxroad 6 with a more traditional maximal midsole shape. Skechers draped the Go Run MAXROAD 5 in a single layer engineered upper with a soft feel to keep the foot comfortable and tiny perforations in the toe box to make the shoe breathable. Peter: The Goodyear outsole is a durable, grippy and has lots of rubber. Works well and will last “forever”. Peter: The Max Road 4 was a near miss for me. It felt a bit unstable, gave me some weird blisters, and was ultimately too soft for me to enjoy running in. It reminded me of some other shoes that I felt like I should like, but seemed to sap some energy. While I love Hyperburst in the Razor line (and the new Speed Freek), it seemed unwieldy in the Max Road 4. Lo and Behold, the Max Road 5 is a truly excellent update. The folks in the lab at Skechers Performance figured out how to tame this big old slab of Hyperburst and it’s a really nice shoe.Direct rear of the Skechers Maxroad 5.
