Customer Reviews SKECHERS Performance GOrun

I love these shoes. I have a problem with pain in the ball of my right foot. These totally alleviate the problem. Plus, they are as light as a feather, so when I'm walking on rough terrain, I feel more agile. I am not a runner, but I do walk a lot. Also, the colors are fun and youthful. I have the turquoise, the pink and the grey with turquoise soles. I always get compliments when I wear them.

I bought three pairs (9, 9½, and 10) but they were true to size and I only kept the 9½. I had stopped running about 18 months ago after developing recurring pain and inflammation in my knees. I love running, so that was quite a blow. I tried these because they promised to ensure a midfoot strike , which I thought might help reduce the impact on my knees. To my surprise, they actually worked! I have only used them for short distances (5 to 10k), but I have experienced no pain at all since I bought them in January -- even though I am out running three times a week. I was skeptical but I am so glad that I gave these a shot. They are great shoes! They do feel weird at first, until you get used to the lack of heel and arch support and the feeling of running on the balls of your feet. It took a few runs to build the strength in my calves.

I bought these shoes for cross training. I love the cushion and it's position within the shoes. I'm not a runner but a rope jumper. So they are ideal for that kind of exercise. They are very light and fashionable...I mean, as good as it gets!

Very comfortable shoe. The problem I had with this shoe was the heel. If you were to do anything besides run, your back would hurt because the heel is not flat to the ground. You are constantly leaning forward with this shoe because the middle of the shoe is the highest point.

Great shoes, very light weight and comfortable. I do a lot of walking on them, very breathable.

I am a pretty big guy, and needed to get back into running longer distances, but I really wanted a shoe that would support me and off the mid-foot strike while working on losing weight. When I got these shoes, I was at 330 lbs, and have now reduced to 290. I have had some problems in the past when running, especially in the ball of my foot. I got these shoes and was able to immediately jump from 2-3 miles per day to 5 per day for 5 to 6 days a week without any issues. The only issue I have had is that the sole does wear out quicker than traditional running shoes, but the comfort is well worth it. I am on my second pair, and have kept up running the 5 miles a day for over 6 months without any issues at all. I highly recommend these to anyone working to keep the pain away.

These are the most awesome shoes. This is the 3rd pair my son-in-law to be has had. Not that they wear easily, but that is all he wears and is on feet all night at the hospital. I also have the woman's and they are the only tennis shoes I have ever had that my feet like on them! Woman's colors are great as well. Light as a feather! I highly recommend them! And Zappos was so easy to deal with. Ordered one day and within 2 days there were at the house. Probably the only place I will ever order shoes online from! Thanks Zappos!

I was a hard heel runner, and had some knee issues. My physical therapist recommended running on my mid/fore-foot, so I first bought Vibram Five Fingers. I wasn't used to such a dramatic shift, and I ended up getting stress fractures and tendinitis in my feet. After resting my feet, I tried these. I've run on them about 10 times now with no problems. It forces me to run on my mid-foot. One disadvantage, it feels strange while walking or standing because the heel is reduced.

Best pair of running shoes I've ever owned. Light weight, but offering a a good amount of arch support - these are perfect for the flat footed runner. They look great and feel great.
