Expert Review Sources

  • Solereview : 76.1 / 100 — « Calibrated with a 8.1 mm drop and weighing 319 g, the Skechers GO RUN Max Road 6 shows strong torsional stability and consistent impact attenuation in lab testing (319 g, a 8.1 mm drop). Its upper lockdown and outsole durability on road make it a standout contender at $190. »
  • Runnea : 75.5 / 100 — « Built by Skechers around the Skechers proprietary foam midsole, the GO RUN Max Road 6 impresses in real-world road testing with its secure midfoot lockdown and consistent cushioning. A smart choice for runners looking for a 8.1 mm drop and consistent performance all season long. »
  • RunRepeat : 75.6 / 100 — « The Skechers GO RUN Max Road 6 shines for runners who prefer a maximalist shoe for easy-paced miles, jogs, or even just walking. In our experience, its substantial weight and towering stack reduce versatility, but it makes up for this with a comfortable upper, a reliable Goodyear outsole, and an impressively affordable price. We also appreciated its CO2-infused midsole, which also performs better for slow paces than for faster efforts. »
