Our verdict

The Skechers GOrun Razor+ Hyper is super light, cushioned, and stable. I love how low to the ground it is! It’s fast and responsive and everything I want in a speed shoe. It has lost a tad of race DNA from the 3, but it’s gained in friendly demeanor that makes it better for training in my opinion. However, if you want to put down a PR, I think it can help. Is this the unicorn? Skechers you had me at hello, but damn you’ve reeled me in with the Razor!

Great!

Skechers GOrun Razor+: what is it for

Skechers GOwalk Evolution Ultra Turbo Skechers comes in many names. Jamison calls it the 4. Ginger Runner calls it the 3+. Seth calls it the Razor +. It’s quite confusing, but it should be just 4 since it comes after the 3, but I think it’s officially just the Razor + Hyper. 

Anyway, this shoe is best for speed training and tempo day. It’s got a go-fast, go-light design with no frills. Simply gets it done all while allowing an enjoyable ride.

Updates

  • Less logo 
  • A little less aggressive in the upper and midsole
  • Footwear SKECHERS Tough Talk 32504 Red Red 
  • Slightly more aimed 

Breathable, secure upper

The shoe’s polyester upper has great lockdown and now they’ve made it a touch stretchier, generating comfort and more room. Mind you, this is not a plush shoe; it’s austere in its build and it’s lost some overlaid structure — the 3 along with the ridiculous logo — all major positives in my book. 

Also, the Razor is super breathable which was an issue I had with another Skechers — the Maxroad 4+ which has a similar construction in the upper.

The tongue is very minimally padded, and very short. It doesn’t rise much past the top of the laces. 

Lacing system 

The laces are simple, lightweight flat laces. They do provide great lockdown, but much like the Maxroad, it’s one gripe that the laces don’t cross the top of your foot enough times. And because of this, the lockdown was a bit harder to dial in.

It has some form and is around soft to medium. It also has a nice, deep heel cup with a very minimally padded ankle collar. Just enough comfort in the right places. 

Responsive midsole of the Razor+

Hyper Burst! When I first tried it, I was blown away, and even till now, I am still blown away by it.

It’s light, responsive, cushioned, and consistent throughout the stride. It’s simply awesome!

Superb outsole

The Goodyear outsole kicks ass! Skechers beefed up the outsole a bit from the 3 with some added rubber under the medial edge which is a great upgrade. And although gaining a little weight, I think it’s a worthwhile change.

Tongue 

It could’ve been gusseted.

The shoe felt a little narrow in the midfoot during my first few runs, but it’s broken in nicely. The upper also somewhat forms to the foot, but it’s quite restrictive. So, those with really wide feet may not dig it. 

Comfort 

Love this midsole! The ride, the transitions, the landing — it all feels fantastic! And the updated upper stretches enough for comfort but not enough to compromise lockdown. 

Footwear SKECHERS Tough Talk 32504 Red Red | Weight of the Razor+

Skechers says that the GOrun Razor+ Hyper weighs 6.4 oz, but in men’s size 9 weighs 6.9 oz on my scale. Either way, this is amazing as it’s under 7 oz. For the women’s version, it is reported to be at 4.9 oz.

Footwear SKECHERS Tough Talk 32504 Red Red | Great durability

The Hyper Burst is the real deal. Add in the Goodyear rubber, super tough, abrasion-resistant polyester rubber, the durability is great overall. 

Lovely design

I’ve fallen in love! The shoe has a very minimal upper design and then comes the pop of the loud red midsole. I simply, love it!

Maybe if Skechers got rid of the “S” logo, then the shoe would be perfect. They may even be worthy of around-town status, which is a lofty status. 

Price

I think you are getting a lot of shoe. Well, in this case, virtually no shoe at 6.9 ounces, but for $140, there’s value here for sure.
