Was this review of the GR 2 or the first iteration? I haven’t seen them in a LRS, yesterday was the first time trying them on at the NU Hartford Marathon Expo. Nice snug fit! Thanks for your insight!!

It has a lot more cushion than the Mizuno Universe 5 without a doubt, but a narrower fit. I now several people who have used them in marathons, but have not done so myself.

My current racing flat is the Mizuno Wave Universe 5, but I’ve only taken that to 10k. I run my halves in NB Minimus 1010s, do you think this would be a good match for me?
I weigh 125, so do you think it has the cushion for 26.2? Id appreciate any feedback or advice.

Haven’t run in the Speed 2’s yet, but I think the sole is the same so I’d anticipate similar size.

I just ran in my first pair of the GoRun Speed’s this afternoon. I liked them a lot, but my normally size 10 feet seemed to have a little extra room than normal in them, still a good fit though. Any idea on how the Speed 2s compare with these in terms of fit? Not sure if I should go down a half size for those, or stick with the 10. The Meb NYCM version of the Speed 2s look awesome.
Matt

Yes, got an email from Kurt at Skechers – the Speed is identical to Meb’s except his was made custom on a slightly narrower last because he has a narrow foot. They widened it a bit in the production version.

Or maybe just don’t wear them on cobblestones. ;-)

Also, any weight specs on the shoe?

Listed weight is 6.9oz in size 9 men’s. Feels firmer to me than the MWU, but may be because it has a higher stack and is stiffer. More shoe in general.
