Skechers GOrun 6

4/5

Overall

Overall the shoe is pretty comfortable but it does have some design flaws in my opinion: This shoe is very loose fitting compared to previous models. Tightening the laces doesn't really help much so the shoe never really feels secure. I wouldn't advise using this on uneven terrain or anything with a lot of turns. There is a high elasticated "collar" that put a bit of pressure around the front of the ankle and can leave the your foot a bit sore, kind of like if you have tied your laces too tight.

Overall

Bio-mechanically, it puts my foot in an anatomical position when running to minimize Achilles injuries. In fact, I was plagued with them prior to purchasing my first pair, which helped clear them up completely, and have had no recurrence. I own 3 pairs now, won't run in anything else.
