What happens when you mash fashion with fitness? The result is a trendy, fashionable, and innovative pair of running shoes. Looking at these shoes really makes one get off that couch and GOrun.
SKECHERS’ latest GOrun Ride is a slightly beefed up version of GOrun. The Ride version has a 4mm drop, instead of zero, with a more cushioned midsole. The pods on the outsole have been made more stable and less aggressive. This makes the shoe just as accessible for heel strikers.
The upper is flexible and lightweight. This beauty weighs in at only 221g. It is a great pair for training before you switch to GObionic or GOrun on race day.
Weight: 221grams Retail Price: $169
GOrun Ride (men)
The GOrun series was awarded “The Most Innovative Shoes” in COMPETITIOR, and “The Most Innovative Award Winner” in Women’s Running.
Although SKECHERS has been working with numerous celebrities to build its fashionable image, it speaks a lot of the brand and technology to be endorsed by Meb Keflezighi, US marathon star. He wore the newest GOrun to win the US Olympic Marathon trial and achieved a personal best of 2:09:08.
This year, SKECHERS has also refreshed its GOBionic and GO Train running shoes.

GOBionic (men)
As mentioned, the GOBionic is suitable to be a race day shoe. With zero-drop, the shape of the outsole is gently curved to encourage a midfoot strike. The outsole is also split into 16 sections that move individually to better support the bones in your feet. Like an extension of your body, the outsole is highly responsive for unlimited motion.

SKECHERS Asean General Manager Susan Chua reinforces that the technology promotes midfoot strike that helps to transform impact into reusable energy. It is the key to efficient running.
