Runner’s World Review
Skechers Performance has updated its max-cushioned shoe, giving it a full-length rubber outsole for the first time to improve durability and traction. Also new: a quick-drying mesh upper and drainage holes in the midsole. Underfoot, the single layer of soft midsole maxed out our cushioning scale. That over-the-top cushioning won top marks from many testers, while others found it too squishy and unstable, particularly on uneven trails. Testers universally recommended the shoe for those wanting comfort on tamer trails.

We put each shoe through real-world usage and a battery of mechanical tests in our lab to provide you with objective — and exclusive — data. In addition to a shoe's weight, we measure sole thickness (everything that sits between your foot and the road), how well the foam cushions your stride, and the flexibility of the forefoot. All this is taken into account in our reviews of each shoe.
