Skechers go ride 3 review
Additionally, the tongue is part of the upper on the Ultra, similar in construction to the adidas energy boost. I was concerned about this but don't miss the heel counter at all. The Ride 3 has no heel counter at all just a bit of a rise of the midsole to wrap the heel.

The Ultra has a conventional heel counter to provide more stability on off counter trails. Both shoes have a very soft stretchy mesh on top of the toes forward of the last laces, far to soft for an entire forefoot but just right to allow the foot to splay in the wide toe box and due to the sidewalls of non stretch material without the sloppiness of the hold of the foot to midsole I find in shoes such as Kinvara. I think this is part due to the use of a non stretch nylon on the sides of the upper up to the lace eyelets on either side, sidewalls if you will, that maintain the foot on the midsole and direct the stride in the direction of travel. I usually fuss a lot getting the right lacing pressure but with both shoes the upper wraps smoothly from toe to lace tie. While the materials vary a bit, both shoes have a very comfortable easy to lace hold on the mid foot area.

As part of this review I was able to interview the Skechers VP Performance Division Technical Development to get insights into the design philosophy and the how's and why's of what I felt while running in GoRun Ride 3 and GoRun Ultra. A goal to "make the most enjoyable shoes possible", above all else.Īfter all that what really counts is where the rubber or foam hits the road.In fact, they are also going to let me join the new product testing fun and my initial feedback has been responded to by their VP Technical Development. A commitment to be nimble, to rapidly respond to the consumer ( check out their response to questions online), and to iterate shoes rapidly through feedback from on the run testing with a variety of runners, a crowd sourcing of design improvements As a shoe geek I know this is true from the many comments on line from non star runners who have been involved in this process.Provide value with reasonably priced top level shoes.

Signed America's top current marathoner the venerable Meb Keflezghi(4th at the last Olympic Marathon in his Skechers).Top notch designs that make no outlandish claims and use innovative light materials.

They have a free reign to innovate from the parent company.Skechers over the last few years has built a Performance Division and a line of trail and road shoes the right way: As a bit of a run shoe snob, I have been watching with growing interest what they have been up to. OK, you might snicker a bit Skechers, right.
