Ben Parkes Youtube

Ben says Skechers are 'back in form' but he'd still pick a Brooks Glycerin Max over the Aero Burst because the Glycerin Max foam is a touch better — still a solid recovery-day shoe.

Best for: Easy runs, long recovery days, and heavier runners wanting a max-cushion, stable daily.

FORDY RUNS Youtube

His favorite of the new Skechers running lineup — extremely comfortable, stable max-stack daily for easy/recovery miles at strong £140 value.

Best for: Easy and recovery miles where comfort and stability matter more than pace

+1 earlier review from FORDY RUNS

His favorite of the 2025 Skechers lineup — heavy max-stack daily that's extremely comfortable for easy/recovery miles, well-priced at £140 against shoes like the Hoka Clifton 10.

Best for: Easy and recovery miles where comfort matters more than weight

K
Kofuzi Youtube

A genuinely good max-cushion shoe with delightful Hyperburst Ice foam and great value at $150, but Kofuzi's enthusiasm is tempered by Skechers' brand baggage as an inspiration-borrower.

Best for: Recovery runs and long time-on-feet efforts where comfort matters more than pace

SJ
Seth James DeMoor Youtube

An unhesitating buy at $150 — beefy, stable daily trainer that just gets the job done; carbon H-plate adds a bit of energy return and the Hyperburst Ice midsole is plush yet not unstable.

Best for: High-volume daily training and long runs where leg-saving comfort matters
