G/Fore’s Big Redesign… Did It Work? (MG4+ vs O2)

17/150
In this G/Fore vs G/Fore comparison, I test the MG4+ Camo Accent against the redesigned MG4+ O2 Camo to see if G/Fore actually fixed the major issues from the original.

Both shoes look incredible on the shelf — but on the course, they perform very differently.

The original MG4+ starts strong with a cushioned, stable-feeling first step, but quickly reveals its limitations: a high heel drop, stiff upper, significant heel slip, pressure points along the lateral forefoot, and a surprisingly disconnected feel during follow-through.

The new MG4+ O2 Camo brings real improvements:

Lower heel drop

Better traction

More balanced platform

More comfortable midsole

Better lacing and outrigger support

But it still retains some of the original’s issues — especially heel movement and that persistent pressure line.

Final verdict: Which one should you actually buy?

⭐ My Scores

MG4+ Camo Accent:
Comfort: 6.1
Performance: 6.5

MG4+ O2 Camo:
Comfort: 7.7
Performance: 8.1

🏁 Final Verdict

The MG4+ O2 is undeniably the better shoe — lower drop, better traction, improved outrigger, and a more balanced midsole. But heel instability still exists, the upper remains stiff, and the same pressure path returns.

If you loved the look of the original MG4+ but couldn’t handle the instability, the O2 is a meaningful upgrade — just not a perfect one.
