The Kipride Max is the softest shoe Kiprun makes, and the one that took over from the KS900. Softech+ foam gives it a 42 mm heel and a ride that is genuinely plush rather than merely tall, while a wrap-around collar and a knit tongue keep the foot still on top of all that stack.
It suits you if most of your week is easy running — recovery days and the long slow miles where how your legs feel afterwards matters more than the pace — and you want maximum foam under it without paying maximum-cushion prices. Keep something lighter for the days that ask for a pace.
It is not a fast shoe. There is no plate, the foam absorbs effort rather than returning it the moment you ask for speed, and at 271 g there is real weight to swing once the pace lifts.
