My wishlist for the update included a more secure, more breathable upper, improved outsole durability, and a cleaner aesthetic. Yet I still gave it a favorable rating! That’s a testament to the ride of this model: bouncy, light, and effortless. Hope: I took the MR4 to task for being too warm, loose-fitting, and less than pleasing to my eye. The 4+ is back with a new upper and may prove to be a terrific update to an interesting shoe that can give the beefier Hokas a run for their money (while being a bunch lighter). The upper kept it from being a practical choice here in Texas, but I liked it. I had some great runs in it and even found it to pick up to tempo really well. Peter: The Max Road 4 showed lots of promise but was hampered, for me, by a warm knit upper that didn’t hold my foot as well as I would have liked.
We also see a welcome 0.4 oz / 11g drop in weight.
The rest of the shoe appears pretty much unchanged, although the outsole now sports the GoodYear logo and the original MaxRoad 4 did not. They had a similar problem with the upper of the GoRun 7, and they re-did the upper in the GoRun7+ with a circular mesh upper and completely changed the GoRun7 into a solid fun daily trainer.Įnter the MaxRoad 4+ for 2020, featuring a re-worked lightweight durable mono mesh and polyester upper that claims to be more breathable and supportive. Skechers, to their credit, are really good at taking on feedback. A hotspot would build up by the 2 mile mark and by the 6 mile mark it was practically unbearable. It always boiled down to the same problem. Different insoles, different socks, different laces. I really like the midsole ride, so I tried many hacks over the past couple of months.
Some of us had blisters, while I personally kept getting a really bad hotspot on the inside of the 1st metatarsal head on both feet. The upper caused problems for almost all our testers here at RoadTrailRun. However, there was a fly in the ointment. Incredibly lively high stack HyperBurst paired with really great aesthetics.
