Verdict

The Skechers Max Cushioning Elite 2 is a solid performer — a max cushion walking scoring 80/100 in SoleHunt's data-driven evaluation, drawing on 0 consumer reviews and 0 independent expert tests. Tipping the scales at 278g, it is standard weight for a max cushion walking. The 38mm heel stack — a generous stack — delivers a plush and deeply cushioned ride at 20 HC, returning 58% of impact energy and feeling moderately responsive underfoot. Geometrically, the Max Cushioning Elite 2 runs on a mid 10mm drop that works with most running gaits, with a 28mm forefoot stack that maintains the traditional heel-elevated geometry runners with tight calves often prefer. Fit-wise, the toebox measures 98mm — roomy, with space for wider feet and swelling on long runs — and the upper is available in D/2E/4E widths. Wide options available. Good for wide feet. The removable insole makes it compatible with custom orthotics. It is designed for walking, standing all day, budget max cushion, casual wearers, and performs less well for running or trail.
