FORDY RUNS' Skechers pick and currently his most-used shoe, edging out even the Evo SL; praised for Goodyear rubber, ATPU foam, lightweight speed at 100 GBP as a total no-brainer. — FORDY RUNS
Sam calls this the best Skechers shoe he has ever run in — a lightweight, snappy, firm tempo/workout trainer with excellent Goodyear lattice traction and subtle H-wing stability, priced well at $140; green-light recommendation, though the firmness means he would not use it for easy or recovery days.
Best for: Shorter-to-medium tempo and workout days (around 7-10 miles max) for efficient-strided neutral-to-mild-pronation runners who want a lightweight, firm, stable speed trainer.

Deliberately left out of the head-to-head because its carbon-infused forefoot H-plate made the comparison unfair, but he calls it a very good lightweight up-tempo daily trainer worth checking out as a different option.
A significant upgrade to the old Razor 3 that leverages aliphatic TPU into a versatile, lightweight tempo shoe, and at $140 one of the best values in running in 2026.
Best for: Speedy long runs, threshold, VO2 max and 5K-pace workouts; a non-carbon racing option for those who want a plateless speed shoe.
Reviewers note: Engineered mesh upper with a gusseted tongue and ribbed/sawtooth laces that provide friction within the lacing system to lock the foot down. Includes a removable Arch Fit insole with weight-saving dimples.
