User Reviews
These are some great shoes. Very comfortable and nice looking. I have bought various colors.
I love that they look almost like a boot, or work shoe, but are super comfortable. I use them for work, and they're really great shoes. Especially on those longer days. Super well made, and look fantastic.
Nice looking shoe and in general, it was quite comfortable and sized 'ok', however, it was not a snug fit. I could feel my feet floating within the shoe. Perhaps that was accentuated by the fact that I had also ordered a pair of New Balance and both arrived at the same time.The New Balance fit like a glove- typical NB. So switching back and forth between wearing them around the house for a brief period, I concluded these would with time only become even sloppier on my feet. To be fair, I have other Skechers in my closet and have been fine overall fit wise- just not this model.
I use these Go Run Sketchers as turf shoes for softball.They are lightweight, comfortable and affordable ...perfect for why I bought them. I'm thinking about getting a spare pair in another color to keep in my bat bag for emergencies.
Great fit with a roomy toe box and an exceptionally stable footbed. Plenty of cushioning yet it doesn’t feel like you’re unbalanced. Very secure, very comfortable and I highly recommend to anyone searching for a solid trail and/or casual shoe.
I tried several brand running shoe to use for my HIIT workouts as I have some slight issues with a bone in one of my feet. These fit good, feel good and work great so far. One thing I noticed is that I feel like I putting more pressure on the outside of my feet/soles which I don't experience in any of my other shoes. And, that's a great thing! It means I'm not putting as much pressure on my arches nor that aforementioned bone. I'll be ordering another pair soon.
Bought a pair for my dad to wear for his trip to Thailand. He said they are the best hiking shoe ever. Very comfortable and kept his feet clean and aired out when hiking. He said his feet never hurt or were in pain after a long day of walking, in the city or countryside. My dad let me know that he would like to purchase another pair once he returns.
First, take a look at my photo. These are all Skechers size 9. The Afterburn model on the right, which I have purchased nearly 10 times is my standard, very comfortable and perfect fit for my slightly wide foot. The Skechers shoe on the left is the same size Last (shoe form) as the Afterburn. The Go-run (middle) last is much more narrow and the 9 size is shorter than the others, so this is too tight for me. In my opinion this shoe runs short and narrow. Otherwise, it is comfortable. It is light, lighter than the others shown here. I wouldn't use it for hiking, but walking or everyday casual would be appropriate. Three stars, because of the inconvenience of returning and reorderingUpdate - I returned the size 9 and ordered size 9 1/2, which turned out to be a better length, but the width was about the same as the size 9, and after just sitting for 5 minutes, my feet were in pain. So now I'm not sure if I should try the extra wide in a 9 or 9 1/2. I have never had this difficulty buying Skechers before. The standard Last worked every time.2nd photo showsSize 9 reg Afterburn on left footSize 9 1/2 reg GoRun on the right footYou can easily see how narrow the GoRun is
