They still looked brand new with no obvious signs of wear but it was becoming noticeable that the cushioning had gone. My first pair went out of the box and into a 20 mile fairly hilly training run and I have since run PBs at 5k, 10k and half marathon in them. I've also run a marathon in them but on a very hilly course but hoping to complete a full set of PBs this weekend. I've used them for all my road running for the last 8 months and they recently did a 20 mile run on mixed terrain with me that turned out more technical than expected. Unfortunately, as seems to be the case with Skechers in the UK, availability is limited (I'd lover the Razor 3 but can't get any). I would definitely recommend them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09376695523469775554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-65257775717151902802019-04-28T08:15:20.731-06:002019-04-28T08:15:20.731-06:00Have both , Forza 3 better toe box , holds your fo...Have both , Forza 3 better toe box , holds your foot in place , ride 7 allows your food to drift on the foot bed , Sizzleguyandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00031650681587666477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-17722699975537652392018-12-19T22:15:04.975-07:002018-12-19T22:15:04.975-07:00Great review.

Firmer but fair and as you say the support as the miles pile up outweigh that as a softer midsole of the same material such as in Ride 7 can get wobbly and tiring while early on in a run it is more "fun" to run.<br />Sam, EditorSam Winebaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17969086391170473784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-39589460176874366512018-04-27T14:52:07.708-06:002018-04-27T14:52:07.708-06:00So after going for a long run in these today, thes...So after going for a long run in these today, these are keepers. At first the firmness is very apparent but then you're so glad it's there as the miles mile up. You can really dig into them as you're body tires. The rocker really helps propel you forward and the shoes are so stable yet light.

Can anyone recommend a replacement insole that might have a slight softer heal and also make the shoe a bit more snug? I have bad luck with shoes and sizing somewhere between 10.5 and 11. It's not terrible but I feel I need to really lock down the laces to get a nice ankle lock and snug upper. demianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14748017372713240235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-14683884724458861912018-04-21T19:05:47.125-06:002018-04-21T19:05:47.125-06:00Hey Sam,

Forza is firmer and more stable but without the post feel of control shoes. The Forza has a similar fit for me to Ride but a bit lower over the toes mainly I think as the knit is denser more reinforced than Ride's but after a few runs molds to the foot. Tempo 9 has a snugger lower volume upper especially upfront than Ride or Forza and is more stable than Boston for sure but not overwhelmingly so. You will feel the ground in both the Tempo and Forza more than in Ride.<br />Tempo 9 review is at the index page below.<br />Sam, Editor <br />Thanks for reading Road Trail Run!

I tried to like the GoRun Ride 7's but it's still to marshmelllow for me and for someone like me who has mild pronation, it's too much and caused some flair up of peroneal Tendinitis in my left ankle. <br /><br />I love the road feel of shoes like Boston 6 or even the Mach (got blisters with these). Does the Forza has this especially in the forefoot? As a heavier runner, I really need to know what my feet are doing in relation to ground. Since I run in the Boston 6 for speed work, should I keep it Adidas and go with the Tempo 9?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Ddemianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14748017372713240235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-4494200180995617762018-02-15T08:29:49.887-07:002018-02-15T08:29:49.887-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.JKChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03564476674363049662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-66494451351882742082018-02-11T03:56:59.362-07:002018-02-11T03:56:59.362-07:00The Mach is lighter by over and ounce and about as...The Mach is lighter by over and ounce and about as firm as the Forza and a faster more shoe.

Ride for easier training. Forza for tempo if already tired.
