Customer Reviews SKECHERS GOrun Ride 7

I am a long time runner.....Sock like fit...Nice in transition.....Nice amount of cushioning....Really love the shoe...Good for short runs and great cushioning to go long...I will definitely buy again...

Just took these out of the box.....Isn't it disappointing when you order a pair of running shoes and receive them only to find someone has already been running in them and left them dirty ??? It is not worth my time to return them so I will donate them...but this is a foolish way for Zappos to lose a customer...

I bought this for my father as a present He wears size 11 in every other brand, felt he could wear a 11.5 in this model. I wore one exact pair on my first Ironman and was very pleased with them. The cushion helped me to go thru all the abuse of 42K. Upper is great hold my foot in place. I've use them for around 200 miles and still look and feel in great shape.

These are great for long distance running and have major support. A great shoe, similar to Hoka's but at a much better price. This is my 3rd pair.

I loved these shoes but bought a half size too small and couldnt wear them for walking. The half size larger was a better fit for me and wore those ones to death. I wish Skechers didnt wear out so fast.

really good shoe, fits like a glove and very light weight. comfortable to walk in and jog.

Finally comfort! I developed plantar fasciitis a year ago. After taking a break from working out for a few months I started getting active. I tried several shoes, several inserts, all of which still ended with heel pain. These have been the first shoe that have allowed me to run and workout with no pain (amazing). Fyi, they do run about a half size tighter than other sketchers I own. Provides great support but some may want to step up the size by a half size.

Feels very similar to Hoka's and so far I really like them!

very good shoe at a great price!

I'm only about 8 miles into these, but so far they live up to the billing as a very strong, under-the-radar running shoe. I had read a review that these made good trainers for those planning to race in Vaporflys, and I can see why. There is some similarity to the feel of the shoes, though the Go Run Ride 7 operates on a decidedly wider platform, and has more of a trainer fit. The shoe feels a bit wide to me in the midfoot and ankle, but it's something I simply notice but am not bothered by. I've also picked up some Zoom Fly Flyknits, which would seem to be the natural counterpart to Vaporflys. They definitely match the Vaporfly more closely, but their narrow, race fit and last make them less appealing as daily trainers compared to the Go Run Ride 7. I've gone running shoe mad in the past year or so, so own or have owned a large number of shoes: Altra Escalante and Escalante Racer, Adidas Ultraboost, Adios, and Boston, New Balance Beacon and 1400, Nike Zoom Fly Flyknit, Streak LT 3, and Streak 6, Reebok Floatride Run Fast, Topo Magnifly and Sketchers Go Run 6 and Go Run Ride 7. I think I have something off with my feet, and a lot of shoes either leave my feet hurting from excessive arch support, or with lateral heel pain. There have been only a few models that do neither (escalante, escalante racer, zoom fly flyknit), and so far the Go Run Ride is one of them, though I have not done long or up tempo runs in them yet, so the jury is still out.

As a long time runner and Brooks advocate I was hesitant to try not only a new brand, but a brand that is relatively new to the professional running shoe market. I was pleasantly surprised however. This is my second pair of the Gorun Ride 7s and they are as good as my last pair so far. I put over 300 miles on my last pair on a variety of surfaces and the shoe performed excellently. Light, good cushion in the sole and around the foot. The thin tongue helps decrease the pressure that other shoes had put on the top of my foot. The cushioning doesn't hold out quite as long as my brooks would, but even at the end of their life they were good shoes. Never any issues with falling apart, holes, tares, or quality. If you don't need a stability shoe (pronation issues) I recommend giving these a try. I'm a fan!

I'm a neutral runner, and somewhat new to running, this shoe is surprisingly light given how much cushioning it has, but it did not sink in like an ultraboost shoe which is bonus to some, personally It wouldn't have bother me either way but I must every praise this shoe got is true. I normally wear a 11.5 in nike shoes, I went with 11.5 in this shoe and it slipped in like a glove, the material against my felt was also good too, this shoe will definitelly make you run faster mainly because you don't want to be seen rocking a sketcher shoe in public. In conclusion this felt like a 150+ dollar nike shoe and a 180$ adidas shoe.

My husband loves these and says they are super comfortable. He will be purchasing another pair in a different color soon.
