I love these, I love the way they fit and feel, they are a joy to run it. I've run in Asics, Brooks, Nike. And though I thought all of them were great, these are the best feeling shoes I've ever run in, they are also by far the best deal. Which means I can replace my shoes more often for less money. Some people complain about the midfoot bump. They are practically non existent in the Go Run 2, but I kind of wish they were more prominent, so I'll likely try the original Go Run's next.Reviews of Skechers Men's Go Run 2 Running Shoe

I have to be up front, I don't subscribe to the minimalist epidemic that is going around the running world right now. However there is something to be said for getting away from the more traditional running shoe. A normal running shoe is big and bulky and doesn't really encourage an efficient gait. However you can, like everything else in the world, have too much of a good thing, which is the case with these extreme minimalist shoes that are out on the market right now. These shoes have a low drop (difference in height between the back and the front of the shoe) to encourage a more efficient mid-foot strike and have 11mm of padding, which new independant research has shown is about perfect. So, enough of all that on to the shoe. Over the past nine months I have had 2 pairs (technically the original GoRuns) of these and am just starting on these (GoRun 2s) now. I run about 100mi a month and I get about 4 months out of them, which is about typical for any running shoe. I love the fit and feel of these as they are designed as a sockless running shoe. As a triathlete who doesn't wear socks during races up to the 70.3 distance (half-marathon run) these are perfect and I don't get any blisters at all. The original Go Runs had a more pronouced "bump" under the arch and if the truth be told I really liked that as while running it provided an excellent arhc support for your foot, the Go Run 2s have a less pronouced "bump" but seem to provide pretty good support for the foot. The soles of the shoes of the original GoRuns is where I have my only complaint, to keep the shoes so lightweight there is hardly any "traditional" rubber in the sole but most of the sole is made of the foam padding called "resalyte" which seems to wear slightly faster than the harder rubber used for the "impulse sensors" that are made of more traditional rubber material. Overall, though these are an excellent shoe that has replaced my racing flats as well as my tradional running shoes.
