Great all-rounder for a great price

Even when you could get it at full MSRP it was only $90. Lasted a long time. Cushioned enough for big mileage and long runs, while staying responsive enough for proper uptempo and speed work. One of the best all around shoes I have ever worn. Scoop up the GRR7 while there are still some out there.

Who runs in Sketchers?! Your grandma in between sets of her Silver Sneakers Body Pump class, maybe? But that’s about it. Well- and me thanks to a great deal on Running Warehouse and a few great reviews. These shoes are awesome! Cushioned, have a little rock forward that helps us mid foot strikers put some oomph in our stride, and hold up great. Truly, i can’t say enough good things about them. I already ordered a replacement pair!

Ride 7

I have owned and run in about 10 pairs of Go Run Ride models. This model has great cushioning that has lasted so far 400 plus miles for a 58-year-old 170-pound runner. Most of my runs are at 8-minute pace and 10 to 11 miles in length. These shoes do a great job of absorbing the pounding on concrete and asphalt in sub-freezing temperatures. I would definitely buy another pair of these shoes, they are well worth the money!

This is quite a sturdy shoe much more so that the previous model. I though perhaps the upper was a little bit stiff otherwise this was one of my favourite shoes. Despite not being a trail shoe I found this shoe very comfortable and supportive for trail and mountain running.
