Sketchers Came to Win

Anonymous runner · Aug 10, 2019

5/5

Overall

Honestly I was a little hesitant to pull the trigger on a pair of sketchers running shoes. I typically run in New Balance, but as the prices have gotten more and more ridiculous, I started looking around for something cheaper, and these sketchers are like $60 on Amazon and no sh*t they are my favorite shoes I've ever run in. And I've run in a literal ton of shoes. I'm a mid-foot runner whose heels rarely touch the ground, and these shoes feel like they're made for me.

Affordable and durable. Light weight. Soft cushioning. I reach for this shoe more often than other more expensive shoes designed to filled the same market niche (e.g. Nike Vomero).

Skechers go run ride 7

Overall

I prefer to run in this shoe with the main insole removed, the shoe is made so that you can remove the midsole and still run with a little more cushion. I like that. the shoe has pretty good cushioning and a firm upper. The midsole it squishy and doesn't show many signs of wear. It has good energy return too. I do like this shoe but would like to explore some more options.

Comfortable shoe for long runs

Anonymous runner · Jul 7, 2019

Overall

Well cushioned neutral road running shoe suitable for long runs and possible marathon-length run. Versatile enough for tempo runs and fartleks. Wouldn't recommend for track days or speed intervals as midsole stack height might cause instability and injury due to ankle rolling
