Customer Reviews SKECHERS Performance GOrun

When I first saw that these shoes were made by skechers, I was skeptical. Skechers isn't exactly known for their running shoes, but I read a couple of articles from well known marathoners who loved them so I decided to give them a try. They are the lightest shoes I've ever tried and at first they felt strange because of the bump in the mid foot especially since I have very flat feet. I decided, like I do with all my running shoes to walk in them at work for a couple of days before running in them. I quickly got used to the mid foot bump and decided to take them for a run. I can honestly say that these are the best running shoes I've ever tried. I ran farther than I've ever run before in complete comfort. I had no knee or foot pain like I did with my other running shoes. The mid foot bump forces you into a mid foot strike and propels you forward. The only gripe I have is that since I took these on a trail run, they got little pebbles stuck in the grooves of the soles, but it didn't affect my run at all and it's a small price to pay for an awesome pair of running shoes. I am ordering a couple more pair in different colors before they change them.

Let me start off saying I was very skeptical about running shoes by Skechers. My hubby is an avid runner (marathons). I do 50-60 miles a week on the treadmill with a high incline.I started having knee pain probably because I heel strike. My hubby starting a new running program that encourages midfoot striking. Due to pain I thought I give these a try. I have about 75 miles on them and I must say wow! They are great! Still have arch/ball of foot cushioning but it is almost impossible to heel strike. Hardly any knee pain this week.They do change your gait. Usually I buy Asics or Mizunos these are way better. Give them a try!

Great running shoe! Super lightweight and flexible. My knee pain has totally disappeared! Also, really great ventilation.

These are the most comfortable sneakers I have ever owned. I wear them on long walks with and without socks. Great Lime color!

Love these shoes! I have a bad knee and wear orthotics. I can wear my orthotics without removing the innersole. I like the "rocker" in the shoe which helps with my knee problems. Very supportive and comfortable. I went back and got another pair!

I really love these shoes. I was skeptical at first - who ever thought of wearing skechers as running shoes? But I stand corrected... I have been running in these for a few weeks now and really love them. They are light and comfy and don't look bulky or goofy. I will buy another pair.

I love these shoes! I wear a size 5 and nothing ever fits. These do, and the construction offers arch support that really works for me. The toe is wide and comfortable, and they are so light you hardly feel like you have them on. Plus, they come with extra laces in a second color. I immediately bought another pair in green!

Great, lightweight running shoes. They are like no other running shoe that I have ever owned. I was so surprised at how lightweight they are! I have never been an avid runner, and one of my goals was to improve my running form to help prevent new injuries. Since I'm not used to the "bare foot" running phenomenon, they felt a little awkward at first (since most of pressure is felt primarily in the middle of your feet), but once you get used to the sensation and your running style adapts to them, they are great! I feel like my running form and posture have both greatly improved since I've been wearing them not only for running, but for day to day walking and outings. I've also received a lot of compliments from complete strangers on how fashionable they are too! I highly recommend them (especially if you're a busy mom like I am!).

I can't believe how lightweight and comfortable these shoes are. I just love them and highly recommend them to everyone. Two thumbs up for the shoes.

Excellent made running shoe. Lightweight & very comfortable. In my opinion, size is based on wearing shoe without socks.

I absolutely love these shoes! It feels like I am walking on air! I also love the way they make your feet strike when running.

These shoes are so comfortable, plenty of room for your toes which is very important. Don't have to buy your running shoes one size up...they got it right. Love these shoes, so light and really good to the feet. Get some!

Bought a pair for my wife along with a pair of Gowalk? Shoes she loves them both describes them as amazing, and make her feel like she should just go run? Super lightweight and comfortable.

Bought these for my mom for Christmas. She absolutely loves them and wants them in every color! Super lightweight, you can barely tell you have them on. Very true to size.

Nice lightweight minimalist running shoe. Designed for mid-foot strike, so start with short runs to adjust if you are not used to this design. Can be worn without socks. Shoe cleans up easily in washing machine, air-dries quickly. This was my first and probably last Zappos purchase. Because of security breach at Zappos website, I doubt that I will choose this website again.

These are extremely comfortable. The uppers are flexible and breathable, so they do not rub on spots that might usually get blisters. No break-in was needed. They are great with a pair of dry-max no-show socks.

Zappos' service is amazing. These shoes were purchased for walking as I hoped to switch between another pair of shoes. They are definitely made for running. It was a very tiring and long walk in these shoes. They are amazingly light and cooler than my other shoes and they do seem to run true to size. I ordered half a size up and could have easily stayed at my regular size. I did rate these shoes at five stars because they say they are running shoes.

Terrific shoes, comfortable. Great for travel cause they are light as a feather. I don't use for running just walking.

I bought these to replace my old Earth shoes that looked similar. I was pleasantly surprised when I put them on the first time! I have developed plantar fasciitis and these shoes actually soothe that ligament and give it a nice stretch. I put them on first thing in the morning, and no more pain! I have two pairs now, one for work and one for play.

I absolutely love these shoes! I was a casual runner at best, mainly because extended runs resulted in major knee pain. I have no knee pain after running in these shoes. They are incredibly light and you can wear them sockless (they are well lined, no seams that rub uncomfortably against bare feet). They run true to size in my opinion (without socks).

I love these shoes. They are light weight, true to size, very comfortable, great running and everyday shoes. I tried them barefoot and love them better. I will be buying another pair. Also I love Zappos!

I love these shoes. I had a torn tendon and the operation was botched. Now I have a very difficult time finding shoes that don't hurt my feet. I loved these so much I bought two pairs. The colors are a little too funky for me, but I was able to find two that I liked. The shoes are so light, it's like not wearing any!

Gifted them to mo mom. She always give a feedback on anything. She said these were comfortable, and lightweigh.

I recently purchased a pair, and I absolutely love them. There are extremely comfortable, and fit like a glove! Usually when I get home the first thing I do is take off my shoes, but with these shoes I don't even want to take them off. It's as if they were socks! Love them!
