It may be worth the shot, but if you are usually a 2E guy the Max Road may not be wide enough for you, so that's two potential issues right out of the gate. I'd definitely give the Mizunos Sam mentioned a shot. That shoe is outstanding. The ride is great (though not be as fun as the Max Road) and there's no fatal flaw downside to the shoe.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01491871518212256938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-76257632998573031052019-09-05T13:48:11.233-06:002019-09-05T13:48:11.233-06:00Hi Sam: Thanks for the quick response on the Ghos...Hi Sam: Thanks for the quick response on the Ghosts. Issue with the 1080V9 is just an uncomfortable fit (and tying down the shoe because of ankle fit). I generally wear 2Es, btw, to compensate for a tailor's bunion, and the 1080s rubbed on one foot. Not a typical concern for your readers. Interestingly the MR2s were fine; the MR3s were tight.<br /><br />I'm a midfoot to forefoot striker. I've worn a lot of NB (early 1080s were good; the early Boracays were outstanding), some Hokas (Clifton 1 worked until they fell apart; the others just didn't). etc. etc. I just need to try shoes until I find something that works. Will check out the Mizunos you recommend.

I would potentially be concerned given your weight and height but not also not knowing your strike patterns that you might compress those forward lugs as Jeff Beck did. What was the issue with 1080v9? Take a look at our review of the Mizuno Sky Wave Waveknit 3. It might work well for you.<br />Sam, EditorSam Winebaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17969086391170473784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-38111896004077803052019-09-04T21:22:39.240-06:002019-09-04T21:22:39.240-06:00Hey, thanks for the review.. how about the GRR4 a...Hey, thanks for the review.. how about the GRR4 against the Ghost 11 and 12? I was, like most others here, hoping for a replacement for the 2, which I loved until thee outside of the soles wore out. Tried the 1080V9 and was disappointed. Finally went to the Ghost 11 which I wanted to hate, but they like me. Older, tall 6'3, 190. 15-ish miles a week.

I did not run the Max Road 3 but did the 2 and this shoe is way way more fun to run and way faster and more dynamic while super cushioned. If you are not on the heavier side and or do not strike very hard forefoot or supinate dramatically it can work. It certainly does for me.<br />Sam, EditorSam Winebaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17969086391170473784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-47049327884752227552019-08-21T14:56:21.636-06:002019-08-21T14:56:21.636-06:00Great and thorough review (as usual)!

Unfortunately, I'm a bit down after reading it as the Maxroad 3 was a great long run / recovery shoe for me...and this new iteration seems like it might not be such a great fit, no pun intended.<br /><br />Out of some of the recent max cushion shoes you guys have reviewed, does one compare more favorably to the Maxroad 2/3?

Also I run with the paradigm 4 and the nike zoom flyflyknit (..which by the way is more maximal than the others!).<br /><br />I think that personaly I prefer a softer-cushy ride shoe ( it more frendly to my feet the maxroad 2-3 or even the zoom fly than the altra duo f.e)<br /> <br />I will be waiting also for your review on the vaporfly next%, as I am willing to buy a shoe for marathon and one for multiple running/training paces.<br /><br />geomazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01001496161393438223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-91857567734209012412019-08-19T07:28:29.240-06:002019-08-19T07:28:29.240-06:00Hi Geomaz,

It is also completely stiff whereas the Max Road is very flexible. They have very different rides with the Carbon X flatter feeling and the Max Road smoother but less stable, more natural running if you will. What works for you now in this type of more cushioned shoe?<br />Sam, EditorSam Winebaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17969086391170473784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-6889783049439363922019-08-19T07:24:35.671-06:002019-08-19T07:24:35.671-06:00Hi Anonymous,

Don't let my use case get in the way...Unknown,<br /><br />Don't let my use case get in the way - I really think I'm the confluence of a few factors that lead to the shoe failure. I land midfoot and supinate, and while I'm no NFL linebacker, at 200 pounds I'm heavier than many runners. Even though the shoe literally caused pain, it was fun to run in, and is absolutely worth the try. If it doesn't work for you, you'll know right away, but if it does - you've got yourself one of the most fun to run shoes ever made. It crushes me that this shoe doesn't work for me, because I'd been on the edge of my seat for months, and it delivers every bit of the springy cush that it looks like it'll have. Unfortunately my feet and these shoes just aren't friends, but likely yours will be.<br /><br />Hope that helps!Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01491871518212256938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-3906790662460315742019-08-17T18:57:33.292-06:002019-08-17T18:57:33.292-06:00Reply from Hope (reviewer):
Thanks for your questi...Reply from Hope (reviewer):<br />Thanks for your question. I felt like the run I did immediately before the outsole pod failure was more like a torture test and not a realistic representation of how the shoe would behave under normal use, so I disregarded that experience when tallying up the final score. Running over brand new blacktop (extra dark so it captures more of the sun’s rays, extra sticky, and extra hot that particular day — mid-90s and sunny) could plausibly cause a failure in a lot of well-built shoes. It only happened on one shoe, so I chalked it up to a fluke.

The “board” has holes and some texture to it but appears to be OK to run on. Small gravel dirt should be OK but expect some wear of exposed midsole areas wrapping the rubber surfaces of the pods. <br />Sam, Editor Sam Winebaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17969086391170473784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-64575045646428740472019-08-17T07:40:18.331-06:002019-08-17T07:40:18.331-06:00The peeling of the outsole pods after, what, 50mil...The peeling of the outsole pods after, what, 50miles? is a complete and unequivocal Failure.

I've recently started running in the Go Run 7 Hyper and have have had some minor blister issues with those after about 8 miles (although my most recent 12 miler was blister free albeit with some soreness). I also seem to be in a minority of one in that I don't find Hyperburst that bouncy or responsive. I might go down the NB route instead with either the 1080 or Propel.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09376695523469775554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-28240059775211350142019-08-16T09:44:51.527-06:002019-08-16T09:44:51.527-06:00HI Geomaz,
