How about a running shoe battle between the Max Road 5 vs the Novablast 2?

[@briannee9693]

I'm trying to decide between these two shoes as well for a cushioned daily trainer.

[@willwilling4728]

For a daily trainer Seth said go with the Novablast 2 and for a cushioned long run shoe go with the MaxRoad 5 Depending on your needs and other shoes you have I think both could could be a daily trainer with the Novablast having the slight edge and being more versatile but for being light weight and value the MaxRoad 5 might be a good choice.

[@RetroKid]

Kudos to you for reviewing the Skechers brand. More kudos to you for pointing out the hype in the Hoka brand and pointing out their lack of any real and substantial proprietary cushioning. They're charging a butt load for regular EVA, versus all the other brands (even Skechers), who are offering innovation and tech.

[@lindleyberkow5964]

QD - Atreyu The Artist, I know you don’t like training in carbon shoes, but the plate doesn’t feel overly aggressive are firm. The midsole is soft and responsive and I think the upper is very comfortable for how unstructured it is. If you are a runner who needs support in the upper, I wouldn’t recommend. But for me Atreyu has made a fantastic shoe for a price point of $100, can’t beat it. I preordered my 2nd pair day 1 preorders opened up.

[@distancerunner2477]

QD: Torrin 4.5 plush is my go to shoe; even with 600 miles on them currently. It's lightweight and has great stability through my gait process. It's also the most relaxing shoe I've tried and I work at a running store so I've tried a lot. But I haven't found a shoe feel quite as good as the torrin 4.5 plush

[@philippegagne268]

Agree, Torin 4.5 is a great comfortable shoe. I still need to get used to the zero drop, did a 32k long run in them and by the end my archilles tendons were feeling it! It’s nothing against the shoe though.

[@brokenfreddy7676]

I agree with you on adding a couple more mm in the heel..I always add the heel 1/2 of a nike insole under any insole of any shoe with less than 5mm drop..it makes all of them run faster with less effort..inversely any shoe with 10mm or more drop starts causing knee and hip issues..8mm drop seems to be the sweet spot in all the shoes I use ,which is pretty much all of them..good review as always 👍

Seth the PUMA you show in your picture and in the background is the normal Deviate Nitro. The ELITE version is white and has the same upper as the Liberate! They are my favourite shoes at this moment although the normal deviate needs perfect socks or else I'll get a blister. The Liberate and Elite weigh the same and the Liberate's are a lot of fun and cheap too! Looking forward to your test of the puma liberate nitro and the deviate elite!

I don't understand.. yesterday you relegated the skechers gorun ride 9, while it has the same upper, same midsole, same weight, only few milimetres less stack height, and even cheaper price. The ride 9 is like a more stable version of maxroad 5. you are excited when talking about the upper and midsole here, but looked underwhelmed in the ride 9? They're the same in both shoes with only different design.. I'm seriously confused now.

[@JohnnyG734]

Skechers has become my favorite running shoe brand thanks to the Razor Excess and the Max Road 5! I agree on the slight instability laterally, but actually chose the max road 5 shoe over my endorphin speeds to set a new 10mi and half marathon PR (6'59" pace and 7'09" pace). It was on a hilly course, so the level of cushioning actually helped a ton while pounding pavement on the downhills lol but they felt smooth going up too!

[@andrew-ng]

Over the Speed?! I was on the fence but I think this tipped me over the fence. I would assume Maxroad 5 to run slower than Speed 2? Because that's how I am going to use the shoe: For recovery and easy days, a complimentary shoe to the Speed 2. Would I be making the right decision?

The upper of the 4 gets a lot of complaints, which I agree but does not bother me too much, it does get hot in warm weather. The heel counter was rubbing my heel in the beginning but good socks solved the problem. One complaint i have is as the midsole gets compressed overtime, the rocker on the right shoe will push on the tendon behind my big toe near the mid foot when I am running on a slope, which I think is specific to me since it only happens to my right foot. Conclusion if money is a issue, get the 4 and wait till the 5 goes on sale.

The GoRun Ride 9 is a solid daily trainer though not a homerun judging from your review. The Razor line is the most confusing. They need to do less iterations/types and focus. Kofuzi remarked that line annoys him! Too many Razors is causing razor burn. Please, please Skechers get your shoes into retail at least at your very own retail outlets (which you do not!!!)

Altra Torin 4.5 Plush .. the 5's arrive in a week or so. We just can't buy Skechers Performance here .. just those shopping mall store offers sadly. Nice shoe Good Luck!

: Reebok Floatride Energy v3. Just the best all rounder shoe Ive ever had. So it just an automatic on my feet!

When road running do you run against the flow of traffic or with it? I’m looking to up my mileage for the upcoming Cross Country season and would appreciate any tips :)

[@yahoo7127]

I run against it

[@alexflores-iv8hh]

Thank you!

Generally you run with traffic, easier for traffic to see what your doing when approaching cross streets, most reflective material is on back of shirts and running shoes

[@tyjochum7423]

Definitely against traffic, you want to see what's coming at you incase you need to bail out of the way 👍

Bike with traffic. Run against it.

Love your channel, reviews, and loved the Pike’s Peak win! I have to disagree on this review and say that the cushion is not nearly as good as the Clifton 8’s. I bought the Sketchers and sent them right back, did not like the cushion. I love my Hoka EVO Speedgoat, normal Speedgoats, and Altra Olympus for trail and Clifton and Elevons.
