The forefoot midsole of the Excess V2 also contains a Carbon-infused mini plate or ‘winglet’ to make the transitions quicker. Though the Goodyear outsole has a similar layout as the Razor+, the wider midsole translates into a great contact area and better grip. That makes the GoRun Excess a firm trainer with adequate ride comfort for daily runs. This running shoe is also very similar to the Brooks Hyperion the latter has similar stack heights and a midsole that’s made using similar technology as the Skechers Hyperburst. So the best way to view the ‘Excess’ variant is to do so as a more forgiving version of the Razor 3. This may not be the ideal long-distance shoe for some runners as the firm ride lacks the plushness that makes the runs comfortable. It’s noticeably wide than the Razor 3 and Razor+, and thus a higher-volume variant. The difference, however, lies in the midsole width. The ‘Excess’ part of the GoRun Razor Excess’s name refers to the midsole that’s a mere 2 mm taller than the Razor 3. The Brooks Hyperion Elite is also a relevant example – the Brooks DNA Blast foam uses a similar cushioning tech as the Hyperburst. The much thicker GoRun Ride 9 is proof of that. The Skechers Hyperburst foam is also a firm compound, so even a thicker stack wouldn’t have translated into a plush ride. The front and rear stack heights are merely 26 mm and 30 mm – not exactly the definition of plush. This shoe’s name is somewhat misleading take the term ‘Excess’ with a large grain of salt. 2) Cushioned lightweight trainer: Skechers GoRun Razor Excess 2 The lack of stiff upper overlays makes the interiors smooth, and the padded heel offers sufficient comfort and grip. The redesigned upper now has a padded tongue for a higher level of interior comfort, and the newly-added loops make the Ride 10 easier to lace.Īn internal bumper creates a secure and accommodating fit. The GoRun Ride 10 has the same midsole and outsole as the Ride 9, so nothing has changed from a ride perspective – only the upper has. The outsole lugs are generously articulated, so the transitions are smooth and compliant.
Long-distance runs aren’t a problem due to the deep cushioning of the 33 mm heel and 27 mm forefoot.Īlong with a Hyperburst midsole, the GRR 10 is shod with Goodyear-branded rubber. Nonetheless, the balanced ride quality makes the Ride 10 an excellent daily trainer that is capable of most things running-related. The only soft layer inside the Ride 10 is its removable insole. Some internet literature describes the Hyperburst as soft, but that’s not the case. This is a lightweight foam with a firm yet efficient ride. It has since become the cushioning standard for most Skechers’ running shoes, including the GoRun Ride 10. Hyperburst, a carbonated EVA foam, made its debut on the GoRun Razor. It’s the Skechers equivalent of a Brooks Ghost or Nike Pegasus. For Skechers, the Go Run Ride 10 is that shoe. No matter the year, the GRR has always been a part of the catalog.Īll brands have a versatile, Swiss Army knife equivalent of a running shoe that resonates with runners of all experience levels. This is a product that not only targets a broader consumer base, but also has been a Skechers constant. Over the years, the GoRun Ride has become the ‘anchor’ running shoe model for Skechers. If we had to build a 3-shoe Skechers assortment, the Ride 10 would be one of them – with the other two being the TRL and Speed Elite. We’ll kick things off with the GoRun Ride 10 – a running shoe with do-everything versatility. 1) Cushioned daily trainer: Skechers GoRun Ride 10 The current Skechers assortment offers plenty of options for runners across different experience levels. Besides, the Razor Excess 2 does the job of the Razor 3 just fine.
There’re too many models with a similar design language and a Hyperburst midsole, so it can be hard to tell one from another.įor the sake of brevity, we’ve also edited models like the Speed Freek and Razor 3. The Skechers line is a tricky place to wade through. The Speed Elite Hyper is very unoriginal, but hey – everyone has their spin on the Carbon-plate-in-a-shoe thing, so why single Skechers out? And besides, it’s a nice shoe, so the end justifies the means. We’re only past the first quarter of 2022, so there isn’t a lot of action from Skechers, not just yet.Ĭarryover products like the Gorun Ride 10 and MaxRoad 5 add familiarity to the catalog. Other running shoes like the Horizon Vanish 2 and GoRun Razor Excess also added value to the Skechers product line. The ever-green GoRun Ride also received its ninth annual update. The GoRun Speed Elite Hyper was new, and so was the trail shoe called the Razor TRL Hyper. Last year was a busy one for Skechers, as we saw plenty of new intros. The Skechers GoRun Ride 9 and GoRun MaxRoad 4 have been replaced with their updated versions. This article has been updated with current models for June 2022.
