Skechers Go Run Shoes

posted 9 months ago | Report

I am a pretty devoted Brooks fan, because I need a good neutral shoe and their shoes never disappoint. I had tried and like their Pure Flows minimalist shoes. Recently, I saw the new Skechers Go Run shoes. Now, I cannot recall ever owning a pair of Skechers, let alone running in them, but the Go Run series interested me. I was able to get a pair at a discounted price and decided to try them. On the whole, I liked them. They definitely encourage a mid foot strike (which I need) and are pretty cushioned. Also, they are very well ventilated and lightweight. I don't like them quite as much as the Brooks Pure Flows, but glad I gave them a try. Interested in what others think.

    I'm not a fan of the Pure series, I think they are too stiff and hard for me to consider running in. The Go Run is a pretty sweet shoe however, I'd try that over the Brooks shoes. If you are looking for a minimalist Brooks shoe, check out there Mach series. I ran in those back in college. Currently in Skora Base.

    Brooks and Sketchers still squeeze toes together in a pointed toe box. Toes need to splay for proper function of the plantar fascia and foot arches. Check out Altra shoes. (No, I don't work for them!)

    Not enough support and too little drop for my needs, but I found them flexible and cushy. Seems like a fine shoe for some people. If you're looking or a minimalist style shoe, I find the Brooks Pure or Kinvara's a better shoe. Regardless- I only Wish I could run in shoes like that.
