Well, basically throughout every single vlog I mentioned a keyword which is basically a hint as to what the theme of the vlog is for that particular day So today it's global global. That's right And this is not the question of the day, but I just have to ask I have to ask because yes We have surpassed 7,000 subscribers Welcome by the way to all the new subscribers and I want to continue to strive to keep this online Community strong and the bigger it gets the more difficult that will become I realize that however Through the keyword through the question of the day and yes through this question that I'm about to ask I believe we can continue to hone in on Communicating well through the comments down below and listen. I can't always answer every comment In fact, I'm just gonna pull up right now Yesterday's vlog, which it is now 315 p.m. In the afternoon it has let me just see here It has a hundred and five comments and I so there's like no way I can answer every single comment But I will continue to do my best and I encourage you to go down and chime in to people's comments And it's just amazing how everyone is chiming in chiming in about the Skechers razor 3 and all the other racing flat ideas So okay first of all roll call roll call. Where are you from in the world? Where are you from in the world? You can give your country. You can give your city your state Whatever you want to share. Where are you from in the world with the growth of this this YouTube channel? I'm just fascinated to hear where people are at around literally watching around the world is blowing my mind blowing my mind Okay, we're gonna take this guy the razor 3 out for a spin today This is gonna be my first impression of this Skecher razor 3 it arrived in the mail yesterday And I'm just trying to discern with you How this razor 3 will end up in the running shoe quiver if you will if you will all right time to go run I Just always like to see what the inner Liner feels like in the upper for the first time My initial gut reaction is it feels just a little slick a little you know what that could be the sock though I'll be you know sometimes and that's something to consider moving forward for you is Socks at different types of socks and how they react to the inside of a shoe because I Would like I would say Darn tough socks are not as slick feeling all right lacing up. I'm doing the runner's not right now. I Know you can't Leave in the shed with the GoPro 7 you're gonna see my gut reaction So my facial expression to the first steps in the Skechers 3 once I start jogging and so here we go Let's just get on the road here All right All right, you ready for this? All right, here we go Here we go. All right I'll see you on the flip side. Here we go Almost got taken out by a FedEx truck. Oh, just left out try to eat the geese Ladies and gentlemen, we're back there you go Skechers razor 3 coming right up my first impressions, but first five kilometers three miles 830 a mile five minutes per kilometer it was my pace today So feeling good nice and relaxed remember yesterday was a little faster. So today backed off a little bit and Feeling good. I'm about to head to the gym But first I just have to mention that I was wrong and I will always always admit to you when I am wrong whether it's with respect to a shoe review whether it's with respect to a Workout idea and I was a little off about the fart lick idea for marathon training a couple days ago Maybe three or four people noticed that my pacing was a little fast a little aggressive and guess what that means You guys are listening because guess I am the first to admit that I will watch YouTube videos But sometimes I'm not Listening to the YouTube video meaning I'm zoning out multitasking and Basically three or four people commented and said my fart lick was definitely too aggressive and I agree I went back and reassessed and so that was not it was too fast So I had the idea of going for an hour fart lick which I'm gonna talk about that in a second But an hour fart lick five minutes on two minutes off five minutes on it At two mile pace and you'll notice if you go back and watch the vlog Hopefully it'll be upper right hand corner that I had to pause and think for a second about that pace I was calculating literally on the spot and that was just too fast too fast I would back it off to like 10k pace basically. I would feel comfortable there Two mile pace was too fast, but I mean I'm gonna just stick to my guns on the hour length I still like I I'm used to running for three hours four hours five hours as a Ultra runner transitioning back down to the marathon distance And so I would go out for you know 30 mile long runs over the past three years And so the out I still like really really am excited to try that workout In 2019 getting ready for my first marathon But just know like I'm always gonna be transparent and tell you when I was wrong and so back that pace off Baby back it off. Don't go do that. Just a little too aggressive So thank you for calling me out and for noticing that that was too fast to everybody that commented on that Okay, we're off. I'm going to the gym My first impressions right now, this is not my full review I always like to make that clear because I think sometimes you want a full review But you can't give a full review of a shoe unless you put some miles into it So I always like to try to put at least 50 miles into a shoe before a full review So this will be that full review will be coming probably in about a month from now All right, where to begin. Oh, I know exactly where to begin. It's on Strava. That's right I just I'm amazed at how we can communicate on the World Wide Web. I'm amazed. All right, shout out to Jeremy Where's the comment from Jeremy on Strava? Basically, I posted my run on Strava, you know three hours ago and Jeremy Asked this question because he knew that I ran in the shoe today. He said this during your review Can you add more feedback on the fit? Like narrow small arch all of that. So Jeremy, thank you for that question and again Jeremy It's not my full review, but I can't tell you about the fit right now Just looking on the inside of the shoe and for everybody else It has no arch. There's no arch. So if you have high arches, you may not want to get this shoe No arch. It's very flat on the inside of the shoe. I'm just looking at it and feeling it right right now Especially compared to the fast twitch from Soccany the fast twitch 8 and then the Zonte 4 from New Balance Which these two shoes these other two shoes have a little bit of an arch this guy? No arch and it's a pretty when I'm looking in this shoe the I'm gonna call it the platform or the landing area Inside the shoe is pretty wide Jeremy It's not it's definitely not a narrow fit at least that's my sense after I know it's only one run But even just looking at it lay the vapor fly 4% from Nike Some people have been complaining that that shoe is pretty narrow Especially through the midfoot and they actually won't use the shoe because they feel unstable. I You know, this is actually the landing of this razor 3 kind of feels like and I I'm stretching it a little bit But the Vamaro 14 the Nike Vamaro 14. It just has a nice wide Landing area. All right, does that help Jeremy and I'll again I'll give you my full thoughts soon and a few first impressions after the first run for the razor 3 Basically, it felt nice on the run like obviously very lightweight 6.4 ounces, which is I believe 180 grams if I'm off. Let me know everybody outside the US But felt nice and lightweight the ride was Comfortable felt great. It felt great actually the ride felt great I would be a little concerned about the responsiveness in faster settings So if I was trying to run, you know 520 a mile I would you know, and I will do that soon in the shoe But I'll be interested to see how responsive this foam is the hyperburst foam through the midsole I wasn't feeling it today. I wasn't feeling like okay I feel like I'm like I'm getting some energy back But that's not to say that the ride did not feel really nice like it it felt really good. Okay onto the upper I Probably my biggest concerns. Definitely my biggest concerns are the upper I will say it was nice and breathable like actually my toes almost felt a little chilled because it was it was colder today in Denver So very breathable. So, you know great for warmer weather hot weather through the upper Basically the first mile. I felt very very gently some pressure points And I will show you now on the screen what I'm talking about these basically the upper Construction does not seem very high quality. It's already like through the toe box it's kind of folding in on itself and I think that basically comes down to the material that they're using and the However, they're sewing it together in the factory It may not be the best now listen once your foot is inside the cavity of the shoe Yeah, your foot fills up that space and pushes the upper Up, but I don't know if that's the best thing for your toes, especially for 26 miles You know, I'm looking for a marathon racing shoe in 2019 And I want to see if this might be the guy and at this point I would be a little concerned to go over like 12 or 15 miles in the shoe because of the upper I just was feeling some pressure points at Times and I'll you can see it on the screen right now and I'm just like pointing it out right now on the screen So that's a little observation about the upper. All right, let's go next to the midsole And yes, the razor 3 is made out of this hyperburst foam, which is 15% lighter than the razor 2. That's impressive. Good job sketchers Like that's a big jump forward in just one year. So I and I noticed it today I think the razor 2 was about 6.9 ounces and so the razor 3 is like I've seen between 6.1 and 6.4 so basically a half an ounce less and I don't know it feels good Um, I don't want to be a Debbie Downer, but I will just point out that I can see Glue where the upper meets the midsole and yeah It's a little concerning as a consumer to see glue that has kind of spilled over Um, I don't if I tried to pull and yank on the upper Would it detach from the midsole? I don't I'm not gonna try it, but I don't know So of course like durability that is and in fact if you have more than 200 miles and a razor 3 let me know down in the comments I'd be fascinated to hear your thoughts on how it's holding up because right now I'm just a little concerned about being able to see glue between the upper and the midsole and just one last Observation is the outsole seems okay I would be interested to test the shoe out in wet conditions because there's not much Grip on the bottom or not much. Yeah, not much grip or lug action at all Of course on the bottom with this shoe. It's a road shoe. So there shouldn't be but you know If you're turning sharp corners on in a road race, you know, let's say at faster speeds and it's raining out Yeah, you know, you might want to be a little careful. That's kind of the sense I'm getting but again, I haven't tried it yet in wet conditions and there you have it Those are my first impressions of the go run razor 3 stay tuned 50 miles later We'll get you the full review. We could go on and on tonight about this, but we will save that for another day All right key word again global I can't wait to hear where you're from around the world. Oh my goodness.
