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. Derek is in his 30’s and trains 70-80 miles per week at 7 to 8 minute pace in mostly tropical conditions in Singapore. He has a 2:41 marathon PR.

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. Jeff: Agreed, the rubber pods do a pretty good job. As a heavier runner I may be overtaxing the shoe some, I can see some wear between the pods and some shredding of the exposed midsole around the rubber pods, but I don’t think it will lead to early failure. And that wear shows that the plate is doing its job, since I am still collapsing the pods on impact, but the plate is preventing the midsole from rising up and causing blisters with vertical oscillation.. Derek: The upper now uses a new more conventional engineered mesh as the base material. Up front there is an internal toe bumper to keep things propped up, similar to what we had on the MR4+ except this toe bumper feels marginally stiffer. Peter: I sink into the Clifton and it robs me of momentum and energy. The Max Road 5 does not have that issue. Max Road 5 all the way. SKECHERS ได้มีการพัฒนารองเท้าวิ่ง ให้เหมาะกับปัจจุบันอยู่หลายรุ่น และถ้าหากคุณกำลังมองหารองเท้าวิ่งสักคู่หนึ่ง SKECHERS Gorun Maxroad 5 จัดเป็นรองเท้าวิ่งที่ถูกพัฒนามาอย่างดี เป็นอีกตัวเลือกที่เข้าตา ถูกใจที่สุด ทั้งราคาและคุณภาพ เหมาะสำหรับทั้งนักวิ่งอาชีพ และนักวิ่งมือใหม่ ออกแบบมาให้รองรับในเรื่องของนักวิ่งที่มีปัญหาเรื่องน้ำหนักของรองเท้า Gorun Maxroad 5 รุ่นนี้เหมาะมากที่จะเป็นคู่หูดูโอในการวิ่งไปกับคุณ เพราะเป็นรองเท้าที่เรียกได้ว่ามีน้ำหนักเบาเหมาะแก่การวิ่งตั้งแต่ระยะใกล้ ๆ ไปจนถึงระยะไกลเลยทีเดียวThis 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. 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+. The first time I got hold of it, I fell for the traditional upper design. The mesh felt smooth, and the heel collar had a lot of padding to it. Putting it on, I was welcomed with a comfortable feeling. The fitting was snug, and the toe box was roomy.

Well, when Skechers GOrun MAXROAD 5 was released, I fell in love with its appearance and was primarily attracted to the innovation thrown at it, particularly in the midsole. The H-shaped carbon plate, Hyperburst midsole, and pod-style outsole got my attention. Not that Skechers is a bad shoe, but honestly, it is not the brand that comes to mind when looking for a running shoe, especially when you don't have Skechers fandom.

New Balance Fresh Foam X Vongo v5 Review - Impressive upper and medial post on soft, but stable Fresh Foam Jeff: I’m a 10.5 in both. I raved about the Ride 9 when it came out, and it’s still a regular part of my rotation. It’s hard to ignore the similarities, and not just visually with the largely identical colorways. Ultimately this feels like comparing the Tesla Model S (Ride 9) to the Tesla Model S Plaid (Max Road 5). Both are great, but one of them is nearly over the top it’s so great (yup, super bouncy is the shoe version of 1.99 0-60 time). I think the Ride 9 is easy to recommend, with good, but very controlled bounce, while the Max Road 5 is for the runner who wants that extra bit more of cushioning and bounce.
