It also has a carbon-infused plate which normally makes a shoe more expensive. At only $130, you’re getting a max cushioned trainer which is the price of a daily trainer. The best thing about the MaxRoad 6 is its incredible price. This will also make transitions feel more energetic. To decrease the weight, Skechers can create a deep decoupled groove under the centre of the heel/midfoot. Max-cushioned shoes are built for slow running. Its prominent rocker makes it feel efficient and a lot lighter than it actually is. Some might stay away from it because it’s a Skechers shoe or because of its 10.9 oz (309 g) weight but I don’t mind either. I wouldn’t do an interval workout in it because it’s far too heavy but it’s satisfying to know that it can pick up the pace if you need it to. I don’t think there’s any other max-cushioned trainer which I could do a tempo long run in. Not only is it soft, cushioned and stable but it’s also surprisingly versatile. The MaxRoad 6 is my favourite Skechers Performance running shoe to date and the best max-cushioned trainer that I’ve tested this year.

It’s a winged, H-plate which is situated in the forefoot. I’m normally against plates in easy day shoes but this plate makes sense because all it does is it makes the forefoot stiffer so that the rocker is more prominent. This comes from its rocker geometry and its carbon-infused forefoot plate. I’m a heel striker and I find it to be a very efficient, energy-saving shoe for long runs. Transitions feel very natural to me and I can feel it assisting me through transitions. The MaxRoad 6 is equipped with a heel to toe rocker which is best suited to heel strikers because they benefit from the entirety of the rocker. It measures 41 mm in the heel so technically, it’s illegal for World Athletics races but not many fast runners will be choosing the MaxRoad 6 to race in. It’s a bit firmer than other max cushioned trainers like the Nimbus, Triumph and a lot firmer than the Invincible Run but it’s still a soft, very cushioned ride. It also feels great at slower paces because of how stable and soft it feels. Normally I’d pick a faster, lighter shoe for this type of run but the MaxRoad felt effortless for 33.5 kilometres. I was really impressed with it during my tempo long run which was at marathon pace. The MaxRoad 6 is a lot more versatile than it looks. Its price remains $145 on the Skechers website but you can get it for $130 at Running Warehouse which is $30 less than you’d pay for the average max cushioned trainer from another brand (Nimbus, Glycerin, Triumph etc). It has picked up an enormous amount of weight, 2.6 oz (74 g), which is the biggest weight gain that I’ve ever seen. The entire shoe has been updated and it gets some brand new tech like a Hyper Burst Ice midsole and an Arch Fit insole. So here we are, 2 and a half years later with the MaxRoad 6. It’s a shame because I liked the ride and it weighed under 8 oz (227 g) which was crazy light for a max cushioned trainer. It caused me ankle pain because the lateral side of the heel wasn’t supportive enough. It was my last experience with a MaxRoad, and it wasn’t a good one. I’ve tested over 8 Skechers running shoes over the years, most of them exceeding my expectations, and in my opinion, Skechers is the most underrated brand. This stems from the old stereotype that all Skechers shoes are cheap, casual shoes for old people or young kids. The Skechers Performance brand is one of the least popular of all the major running shoe brands.
ARCH FIT SKECHERS KIDS SERIES
It’s a relatively new series compared to the other max-cushioned stalwarts, the Nimbus, Glycerin and Triumph which have all been around for over 20 years. In case you couldn’t tell by the name, the MaxRoad is Skechers’ max cushioned trainer for road running.
