Energy return felt good but need to do some faster paces to get a better idea. One thing I could tell from the 1st run was that the heel drop felt a little lower than anticipated based on my experience with the Skechers Razor 2 and MaxRoad 3 which didn't feel as low even though they are also listed as 4 mm drop. The 7+ heel drop felt similar to the Razor 3 but with a little extra stack height. Due to the low heel drop I'm not sure if I will be able to train daily in this shoe but I have other shoes to rotate so it shouldn't be too much of a problem but definitely something to watch out for if the Razor 3 was also problematic for you.Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10181056764012977238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-61694609705197640162020-08-22T14:38:12.756-06:002020-08-22T14:38:12.756-06:00The toebox is very narrow, it is immediately obvio...The toebox is very narrow, it is immediately obvious when you set the shoe down because the midfoot looks like it is as wide or wider than the toebox which is not how human feet are shaped. The shoes run a bit long also so going a half size up would make them really long. I'll probably keep them and just do shorter runs with thin socks in the hopes the toebox will stretch a little but I expect some blisters between my big toe and 2nd toe to be the consequence. I wish the reviewers would be more direct and say that the toebox width is a real consideration instead of saying it could use a tiny bit more width as if it's only a minor concern.Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10181056764012977238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-71510832896777126122020-05-26T23:43:00.775-06:002020-05-26T23:43:00.775-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02072473377855154823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-38654866573164358472020-03-11T23:17:08.136-06:002020-03-11T23:17:08.136-06:00Any thoughts on using this for a flat mostly hard-...Any thoughts on using this for a flat mostly hard-surface 100-mile race?

I have found its “presence” less and less noticed for this mostly heel striker. Not sure exactly why but my feeling is that as Skechers has improved heel rubber coverage and midsole foams I tend to “bottom out” less at the heel and thus find it easier and faster to get to midfoot and M-Strike area to transition.

The upper has largely removed the boxy fit. <br /><br />@Unknown - I didn’t have issues relating to low drop, but at this point I only really notice that sort of discomfort in a zero-drop shoe, so take it with a grain of salt. The 7+ does feel pretty “traditional” in that sense. <br /><br />@Anonymous - the upper is thick, definitely, and I don’t think I could call it “drainable” (compared to an upper like the Hoka Evo Rehi which has built in water management) but I got these plenty wet this winter and never had issues running in them the next day (or in some cases, later the same day). Can always chuck some newspaper in there.

Now that your staff has done a good job of convincing me that the upper has vastly improved in locking down your foot, theirs only one thing that I heard that might make me think twice. I heard the upper does a terrible job in managing water and moisture absorption. This would be a deal breaker since part of my running depending on the season will be in warm and wet condions. Can you tell me if anybody tested these in those conditions and if the the upper did a good, average or poor job when it comes to drainage issues if you know what I mean. I'm a big fan of your blog and youtube previews and reviews.

Basically if you can get them for a free and/or have so many shoes you never wear them past 50 miles.<br /><br />I've given Skechers a try in the past based on glowing reviews, but once you get past 100-150 miles, they're trashed. The midsoles just fall off a cliff, the uppers develop weird holes, and the outsoles are gone. If it's a racing shoe, fine, I can deal with lack of durability. But for trainers? I'm not shelling out $130 for a shoe I'll use up in two weeks of training. I feel like for years now we've heard, "THIS is the Skechers trainer that will change everything."

Did you try reaching out to Skechers Performance CS? May be worth a try (depending on when you purchased).<br /><br />Jim - I think this is perhaps the perfect long, fast trainer right now. My previous choice would have been the Zoom Fly Flyknit (which is still, if you can find it, a great trainer) and while the 7+ doesn't have the same "downhill" feeling, it's an ideal balance of bounce and comfort.<br /><br />MichaelMichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03297325506624687004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-81645532263149073022020-01-28T12:45:02.314-07:002020-01-28T12:45:02.314-07:00Can the 7+ compare to the Rincon for longer distan...Can the 7+ compare to the Rincon for longer distances (50 yr old, 185lbs)? I just ran my first marathon (9 min pace) in the Rincon and they treated me great, but they definitely lose some of their magic at 125-150 miles. I like something that can handle 15+ mile training runs (9:45-10:15 pace) in this category as well. GRR8 isn't quite suiting me as it feels a touch "slappy" in my gait cycle, so only use it for 6-8 miles as another reference.

My experience of them is similar to how Derek describes his original test pair.
