The Goodyear rubber outsole is highlighted for its excellent traction and durability, with no major wear issues reported in professional or user reviews. The upper materials are also improved over the previous version, contributing to better longevity.
The Skechers Razor Excess 2 is widely regarded by experts and users as a highly versatile, lightweight, and well-cushioned speed trainer, excelling particularly at tempo runs and uptempo efforts due to its responsive Hyper Burst midsole and carbon-infused forefoot plate. Its 7.2 oz weight and 30/26mm stack provide a balance of cushioning and speed, making it suitable for daily training and even long runs, though some reviewers note it lacks the plushness and stability of dedicated long-distance or recovery shoes. The shoe is not specifically designed for racing but can be used for races up to the marathon for non-elite runners, though it lacks the aggressive propulsion of top-tier super shoes. It is not recommended for trail running due to its road-focused outsole and limited traction. For recovery runs, the cushioning is adequate but the ride is more tuned for faster paces, so it is less ideal for very easy efforts.
Ideal for Best suited for intermediate to advanced runners who prioritize lightweight speed and versatility in their training. Ideal for those who mix tempo runs, intervals, and longer efforts, and who appreciate a responsive yet cushioned ride. Runners with a neutral gait and average to slightly narrow feet will benefit most, especially if they want a shoe that can handle both workouts and races up to the marathon distance.
The Razor Excess 2 is a lightweight, rockered performance trainer with a snug fit throughout, especially in the forefoot and toebox. The upper is more breathable and stretchier than the previous version, but the toebox remains a common complaint for those needing extra width. The shoe is best suited for runners with medium to narrow feet who appreciate a secure lockdown and do not require a wide toebox. The ride is stiff and responsive due to the forefoot plate and high stack Hyper Burst foam, making it ideal for uptempo and long runs.
Sizing: Generally true to size, but some reviewers note a snug fit, especially in the forefoot and toebox. No widespread recommendation to size up or down, but those with wider feet may find the toebox restrictive.
