Skechers Gorun Razor 3 Hyper Multi-Tester Review

The Skechers GOrun Razor has always been a do it all shoe.  Version one was very similar to other classic lightweight 4mm drop trainers.  Version two slimmed down and had a much faster feel to it.  The GOrun Razor 3 Hyper continues that tradition, further defining the lightweight trainer/racer category.  A new Hyper Burst midsole, a newly designed upper and a more durable outsole make this a great update.  Let's jump into the details.

Skechers GOrun 7 Hyper Review

The GOrun 6 was an odd shoe for me.  The midsole/outsole was similar to the very successful GOrun 5 that gave a lightweight responsive feel for both training and uptempo days.  The addition of such a flexible mesh in version 6 made for a great casual shoe, but an unsupportive upper lockdown.  Along comes version 7, my first experience with the new Hyper Burst midsole material.  Which absolutely blew me away.  Boost and ZoomX have both been good midsole material upgrades, but they either had weight or durability issues.  The Hyper Burst midsole combined with a slightly secure but flexible upper has brought this shoe back to life for me.  Let's talk more.

Saucony Fastwitch 9 Review

The lightest stability racing flat on the market returns lighter than ever.  The Saucony Fastwitch 9 has been a favorite of mine for years.  The light stability combined with a light ride that started only a few versions ago makes for a fast and versatile shoe.  Now in the 9th version, the weight has dropped further but still remains a snappy, supportive and responsive ride that is my personal first choice for speed workouts and shorter races.  Although many will be able to use this for a variety of distances, let's dive into the latest release of the Fastwitch.
