Great durable trainer

Anonymous runner · Jan 26, 2020

5/5

Overall

Plenty of room and durable Goodyear rubber on the outsole. Plus hyperburst midsole that's cush but still firm enough to prevent sinking in. A great trainer, comparable to the NB 1080 v10 but a bit softer.

Skechers Go Run Ride 8

Anonymous runner · Jan 14, 2020

Overall

Underfoot feel/ride is great. Price is great. Fast trainers. As with all skechers, there is room for improvement re: upper fit. These feel sloppy through the mid foot and a bit tight across the toes. However, the ride is excellent- nice and bouncy/responsive and at that price point can't be beat. Oh, also very ugly appearance- I really dislike primarily white and black shoes. Also runs large, so size down 1/2 size at least.

Overall

This is the firmest hyperburst shoe I've worn. Also this shoe is the first in over a decade that started to feel better after about 100mi's on them. I haven't had to 'break in' shoes for ages , but these feel better today than the day I opened the box. The midsole is very temperature sensitive, I wouldn't leave it in a cold garage/car unless you want them to feel like a brick.

Great Cushion/Smooth Ride!

Overall

This shoe was my first pair of Skechers and I was surprised how light and responsive this shoe is. If you like a light weight shoe with great cushion this shoe is for you. The sole is made from Goodyear Rubber and prevents slipping. It also provides durability. It has a long-lasting HYPER BURST mid sole for great cushioning. The upper is light weight and very breathable . The insole is removable for any one who may use an orthotic insoles.
