Did you take these to the full 50 miles? Curious to see how this would stack up today given that it’s on the matrix
Put the other shoe on the shoe shelf so that everyone can see the Skechers "S" ...just suggesting.
simple practical IQ tests
Michael R. Wright hahahahahahaha
Smart dude right here, guys
Or turn all the other shoes to have the same.directions as the Skechers 😆😆
Exactly.. last time I watch this dude's vlogs
First - Adidas uses Continental rubber.
Josh Sylvester was thinking same but not sure but makes sense since both are German companies 👍
Then Under Armour and Michelin.
Then Under Armour and Michelin.
Yes! That's right. I remember years ago I picked up a shoe and it had continental stamped on the bottom. Don't remember what make, it could have been an old etonic. Yes, I just aged myself.
Asics, onitsuka with bridgestone/yokohama
QD: I use the sketchers GORun Ride 8 and I love it. It’s my new shoe of choice that for me can handle really any run besides speed workouts. I recommend it to anyone who is interested!
ran all of my 7 marathons in skechers go run 5. I'm really excited about the skechers speed elite hyper coming soon...
I've been waiting for the Speed Elite too! They keep pushing the drop date back. Any idea when they're coming???
Update: Yours is the most favorable review I have found on this shoe model. Due to other poor reviews and a I hate it from Run Like Heller, I cancelled my order and got the highly rated GoRun 7+ on clearance for $69.88 instead for my daily trainer. Among the unfavorable reviews were that it did not work well in wet conditions soaking up the water and the grip you spoke of. Others did not feel it gave the responsiveness they had come to expect from Hyperburst midsoles. It was also said this shoe is heavy for the type of shoe it is. Heavier than the Max Road 4 which is a cushion shoe.
Hello did you manage to take it to a 100miles? Any update on the shoe?
I'd like to know how it compares to new kids on the block like 1080 v10 and novablast ?
Thanks!
Bought these shoes in April 2021. Ran 576 Km so far. Still looks brand new. Mostly running on synthetic track and asphalt road.
your wife is so supportive, and positive - genuine.
Love GRR8's. Same colorway as yours. Had 2 of the GRR7's last year and loved them too. Find the 8's are a littler firmer/more responsive than the 7's. I have wide feet and that extra room in the toe box works very well for me.
Still getting on with Ride 8? Would you say they soften up? I believe they're getting into Ride 9 soon so thinking of getting these on the clearance...
I used to be a Skechers Ultra Runner back in 2017.... my favorite trail shoe was the GoTrail 2 and the Go Run Ride 4-6
Been running in Skechers since 2008. I am definitely going to pick up the Ride 8 and Razor 3 Hyper this year. Love your review as always, it was very insightful.
I like the new artwork hanging in the shoedio :)
I really loved the Skechers Go Run Ride 7. Cant wait to try out the Go Run Ride 8.
Skechers have been my preferred brand off and on for years. I keep trying other brands (Hoka, Nike, NB) and end up going back to Skechers as they are the most comfortable shoe I've worn and have been effective at keeping my PF under control.
My go to easy day trainer is still the go run 7. I also own a go run 5 which is a really nice shoe for those faster days, incredibly lightweight and comfortable. Sketchers shoes has trated me extremely well for its forgiving toebox for my wide feet and are also really affordable! They felt a bit cheap but i never had ant issues in terms of durability and took them over 300-400 miles easily unlike my sauconys...
Just a side not. If you put the shoe in your hand on the shelf. All the shoes would be facing the same way.
🤣
I Have bought three pairs of the Go Run 7 and one Max Road 4. Loved my first pair of 7’s probably got about 450 miles on them, second pair seems tighter, third pair haven’t worn yet. Max Road 4 is a good soft shoe but is extremely warm on my feet. I have to make sure it is cold outside and I wear light socks. But I do enjoy the shoe.
Planning to purchase both the 7+ and the Razor 3+ in 2020, both have different uppers. I never purchased the Razors because I didn’t like the word “SPEED” splashed across the upper. But it is a shoe that has gotten great reviews.
I just picked up the go run ride 7 NYC marathon edition last month (mine have the NYC skyline logo on the lateral side and the skechers "s" on the medial side, you could also just put the other shoe on the wall) and have about 60 miles in them. They are fantastic! I have run in a bunch of different brands, but most of my recent miles have been in the rincon and clifton 6. The grr7 really surprised me. If they keep doing what they're doing, I will be having a skecher's shoe in the rotation for quite some time. Love them.
Jury still out for me on grr8. Wanting to give the razor 3 flow a try when released and possibly flow version of grr8. I just prefer mesh, especially running in the 90s and high humidity!
100% I would love to try a pair of sketchers this year 👌
Another S is just extra weight and extra cost.
QD: I have GRR8, but only 3 runs so far. I prefer the Beacon v1’s. For some reason my left foot starts going numb after 4-5 miles and trying to figure it out (only in GRR8). I’m a midfoot striker and GRR8 feels just a touch slappy to me as well at slower paces (10min/mi), but is better when I get closer to 9 min/mi pace (of course that’s my form more than the shoe).
Artwork. Love the picture one of your kids created for the SHOEDIO! I'm stuck in a good shoe brand lane right now- Hoka, Altra and Nike.
I just got a pair of GOrun Road 8 and after 2 runs it is becoming one of my favourite shoes.
Now, I am considering getting the Max Road 4 for my marathon in May.
I had a bit of a problem with my pair because midsole and upper were not attached evenly in the left shoe but I got it replaced and I live it.
I just got my Skechers Razor 3 today. They will be my Race Shoe for the Prague Half Marathon.
Nils Ma hey Nils, good luck in Prague half, I will be running it also, are you local or just visiting?
@@dougmatthews8469 Hey Doug, i am visiting from Germany. I will be there the thursday before the race.
QD : Skechers have problems getting their products to Europe. Therefore I haven't been the get the newer versions with the Hyper Burst but I have the GOrun Ride 7. It was my long run shoe in fall 2018. I put something like 400 kilometers on it just in long runs. In spring 2019 I started to wear it more for easy runs because I felt that it had lost some of its amazing cushioning. Another reason was that I got the Hoka Clifton 6 that became the new long run shoe. Now that Skechers Ride 7 pair has already 998K on it. I did my final review after 500 miles like I normally do but continued to wear the shoe even after that for short recovery runs. I think that it has cushioning left and still looks almost brand new. Upper and forl of the shoe are perfect. The only place where you can see the miles is the rubber in forefoot. It's basically at the same level with the exposed midsole there now. Skechers knows that issue and therefore they have announced that they are going to use the Good Year rubber for most of their outsoles to increase the durability. So I think that the GRR8 could be a shoe for 1000 miles.
QD: Never run in Skechers, always had trouble taking them seriously. I haven't decided on a race shoe for my upcoming marathon yet, but I will be giving the Speed Elite a try whenever it comes out.
god knows when that will be....
I just got these too (first pair of Sketchers ever.) 15 miles in them and I’m enjoying them so far. I love the beacon 2 and agree that it’s similar.
Love Skechers! Currently running in the Ride7s, MaxRoad 4s, and Razor 3s. Pretty excited at the look of the Horizon Vanish racing shoe, which is on the Running Warehouse Shoe Launch calendar and due out in February.
Purchased them Friday!!
I’ve run in 2 pairs of Skechers before love them.
My running shoes of year Sketchers GRR7!
I broke all my PR last year with Skechers GRR7.
5K, 10K, 15K, Half and first marathon.
So I gave me GRR8 as a reward.
Pretty smooth ride as my GRR7 but cushion is a little different and toe box were a little too long. Returned them. I will buy GRR7 if I can find one!
currently using the skechers go run 6, liking it very much.
QOD - I have two pair of the Razor 3 Hyper and as soon as the speed elite drops I’ll be importing a pair to Germany along with the their new Trail shoe. Years ago I ran in the OG Go Run Ultra. Skechers is really innovative and in my opinion Hyperburst is the BEST midsole material in the game
Just recently got back into jogging. I don't call what I do running. My pace is 10 to 12 minutes per mile. Just ordered the GoRun Ride 8 and of course with the passage of time, the price has dropped considerably. $69.99 through Amazon and since I have Prime, no shipping cost. This shoe will be my secondary, I just took my brand new Forza 4's for s spin today. I buy Skechers brand exclusively from street to dress to my running shoes. I am already forewarned by multiple reviews that this shoe tends to be a bit roomy. I have an AA narrow width foot so maybe I will have issues there! Nevertheless, I wanted a secondary running shoe at a good price point so I am taking my chances. I will check in when I get my shoes due next Thursday 4-22-21 to give my initial report.
I have almost 500 miles on my GRR 7's and they still have life left in them. I'm hoping to pick up a pair of GRR 8's or Maxroad 4's this year.
i think you should buy a new pair,500 miles is too much
Have the GRR8 and love the hyperburst. Currently at 250 miles and everything is going strong with only slight wear on the outsole. The upper is holding up well. I chose this shoe because it has a wider base than the Nike Turbo Pegasus and the midsole has different but similar bounce in a relatively light shoe
I've used Skechers GoRun Ride 7 for the last 10 months, including a marathon, with no problems. They're cheap and very effective.
good idea from sketchers. Makes sense, both industries rely on friction between rubber and pavement for their main function, locomotion.
Such a GREAT day!!!
Thanks for this review. I'm on my 4th pair of the GOrun Ride 7 (pre-hyper burst) but have not yet tried version 8. The 7 was my favorite training shoe of 2019. For me the midsole started flattening out a little over 300 miles, at which point I would remove the insole and use them as casual walking shoes. But version 7 was slightly cheaper than version 8 (and I bought mine on sale), so that's a good deal for a solid trainer. Once my 4th pair wears out, I'm not sure whether I'll try version 8 or be influenced by you to try the NB Beacon 2 instead.
Wow that is great, glad the GRR line up is working
Adidas works with Continental. Skechers HQ is in Manhattan Beach, CA and anyone who has lived there knows the Goodyear blimp flying overhead is an ever-present part of summer and big weekend events. I’m sure the blimp was within eyesight when the Skechers team was wondering about it’s own adidas-like collaboration.
I've run in the SSR Resistance Runner, OG Razor, OG Ultra Max trail, and Strada. Out of these 3 the Razor was the best or should I say the most evolved.
The SSR was actually the first training shoe Meb trained in when he made the controversial move to Skechers. Like most Skechers back in that era SSR was just a copy and in this case a copy of the MBT. Could go on but bottom line they were bringing out underdeveloped shoes for too long (which is probably why Meb had a pair of custom Speed's made for NYC) which is why I went back to Brooks, Nike.
QD: I use the Go Run Ride 7 as my daily trainer and I love them! Will defiantly 8s when its time to upgrade.
I have switched to Skechers and have loved every second of it! Affordable and durable! Still rocking my GR Max Trail 5 Ultras well over 400 miles, best trail shoe I ever had (except for maybe the Saloman Speedcross 4) and currently using GR 7 Hyper and enjoying it also...no Hokas, no Asics, like mizunos and Brooks too but I've fallen in love with any skechers I touch...
The skechers gorun max road 4 are my long run shoe. I have had them for two weeks and have put 83 miles on them already. They are suprising and I'm glad I didn't overlook them because of the brand.
I'm anxiously awaiting the speed elite hyper in hopes it might be my marathon shoe for April!
I run in the go run 7 and I've got 900 miles in and the bottom and the upper are still in good condition. My next shoe will be the go run 8. Most other brands I get 400 to 600 miles from, these shoes are the best value for money
Seth. I have the Max Road 4. Very comfortable shoes for training. I’m not 100% sure about it’s performance in race though.
I enjoyed my first Skechers, the GoRun Max Road 4 Hyper, but found the rubber wore down really quickly. With that said, the ride was so comfortable because of the Hyperburst foam that I'd buy another pair(primarily because of the Hyperburst foam). I'd be interested to see if the Goodyear rubber lasts longer. Looking forward to the 50 mile review, Seth!
I have the ride 7 and the king ches race flat for cross country. They are both great shoes in my opinion and I will definitely be buying more sketchers in 2020.
Hi. Probably answered multiple times below, but Adidas worked in collaboration with Continental for some of their outer soles.👍🏼
Yes! That's right, Continental! I could not remember, thanks
I keep waiting for one of my favorite reviewers to try a Skechers other than this such as the Go Run Razor 3 Hyper :) Good vid
Skechers have a spot in my rotation for sure. The Razor 3 and GRR7 are my favorites. I also have the GRR8 but I found the hyperburst to be a little firmer than I like.
Hi Seth! Did you keep the extra insert in or did you take it out? When I had the GRR7 I liked them better without the insert, but it definitely made them feel very roomy.
Also about 360 miles into my MaxRoad 4s and have to agree with the outsole design being subpar
QD: I ran the Skechers Go Run Ride for over 500 miles, good shoe overall for easy days and long runs. I also used it for some speed workouts on the road, 6min/mile pace and under. I also have the Go Run Ride 6 but I don’t like it so much, less cushioned shoes.
I had problems with one of the insoles slipping around while running. I used double sided tape to secure it down and haven't had any problems since. The GRR8 is great.
Running Warehouse emailed to say the wide is delayed in this one (GRR8). Just as an FYI - now coming sometime in March (was scheduled for 1/20/20). Bummer. A little late for me for Spring - glad I'm enjoying the Nike Infinity React so much!
Hi Seth! Thanks for producing such helpful content! Any updates on this shoe? Are you still enjoying the ride?
I used Skechers Go Run Ride 7 Black. Very good shoes for business trips or travel/ You can run in them or just go out.
I bought these, ran 4 miles in them and they felt nice, maybe a touch firmer than I’d like. Then I decided to wear them for a 10 mile run. I think that was a mistake going from 10mm to the GRR8’s 6mm drop. Ended up picking up an injury so I’m a bit hesitant to wear the Skechers again. I’ll maybe give them another go next week on a 4-5 mile run.
QOTD. Loved the Razor 3. Interested in the Speed Elite. Interested in a couple of the other shoes on deck for 2020. Looks like they are listening and revising the uppers on the Ride 8, Run etc... but they are up against the Clifton 6/7 in my mind for a longer run/ easy day shoe.
I had an early version of the Skechers go run. And just ordered the Hyper TRL
Adidas has Continental working with them.
Yes! I was going to comment this. The Continental outsole made Adizero Boston so much more fun to run in.
Under Armour works with Michelin
Under Armour works with Michelin
I have the Skechers GoRun Max Road 3. It's extremely cushioned. I wore it for a 15 mile run, and it fought me the whole way when I tried to run faster than 8:30 per mile. Much too soft. My calves hurt after 5 miles from trying to push off in that mushy cushion. It may work well for, say, 9 or 10 minute per mile recovery runs, especially for heavier runners. Maybe it'll firm up better after 100 miles or so.
Reebok had GOODYEAR Indy 500 rubber outsoles back in 1986 GL6000 model, and some other models
Good reviews but being a tall 90kg runner I wish more bigger runners where on UA-cam doing reviews. This guy's feeling of cushioning is alot different to mine.
adidas --> Continental
Under Armour --> Michelin
GRR7's lasted me about 350 miles on roads - I found that to be a little sad. Different foam though, but it died under the inside of the front of my foot. Still rocking some Go-Run Ultra Trail 5s or whatever they are called. Surprisingly great trail shoe, up over 350 on those and for the $65 I paid, they've been a huge success. I'd buy more Skechers but I wouldnt expect 500 out of them.
Never ran in a Skechers shoe before, and I was thinking to get the GoRun 7+ when it's available.
The GoodYear rubber looks promising, and maybe you can give us your thoughts about its durability after 100k. Wish you all a GoodYear.
Dude please go back in time to undo that play on words because it's most probably the worst year of our lives and we're only in April lol
@@DesignerFromMars haha I wish I can. Be safe mate.
@@NabilAzarou Same to you. If anything else let 2020 be the year when you and I both try running in Skechers for the first time. The GRR8 is the one I'm looking into. Peace & Health!
Not really a Skechers fan since I consider this brand more like a casual sneaker brand than a sports brand. Also, their website is awful for shopping for running shoes. BUT I did try MaxRoad 4, it is a great shoe for a long easy run :)
Sketchers speed elite one of the top shoes of the year easy! 5.9oz, coming out next month!
I've run in the Skechers Performance line of shoes since they started! Been several years now and I can still remember the GoRun Ride 1 (and GoRun1). The GRR8 is my current daily trainer (and ran a trail marathon in them last November). Great shoes at good prices. Hyperburst in Ride 8 is a nice light midsole cushioning--not as soft as GRR7, but more firm and responsive. Wish they kept their pricing lower like before--seems with the new line of shoes (and Hyperbusrt) they have increased prices about $10-15. I have not liked Skechers trail line-up as much as their road shoes.
Being a runner with wide feet, I love a roomy toebox.
I cant use most Salomons or Hokas without having to cut 1/3 of my foot of, regarding forefoot width.
At the same time I have a narrow heel (!), a very high instep, but a normal arch...
50 years of search for "the perfect shoe".
No luck so far.
I can't do hokas either do to the width. I have narrow heels as well. Have u tried altras? The Torin non plush is my fav, although I don't think they are going to continue them.
Also try Topo. I've had good luck with them. The midsole's can be challenging (I don't think they've got them just right yet...but they are a newer brand) but the toe box for me has been great. Same as you - high instep, wider width, my arch is medium to high. These GRR8 are coming in a wide but have been delayed by six weeks or so and is now slated for 3/4/2020
Thank you very much for your comments.
We need a "wide feet tribe" 😊
I'm currently looking in to, and tempted by Topo.
For road ultras, the Zephyr and trail the Ultraventure.
What do you think about kalenji shoes?
No Skechers yet but plan on trying the Go Run 7+.
The go run ride 7 has a removable insole for faster workouts, to feel the road a bit more. The go run ride 8 might do that too !
I bought this shoe for my wife and she's only a walker. I tried it on myself and have to try it again before buying because it didn't fit me like a glove... I like my shoes to melt onto my foot when I try them on, and this one just wasn't quite right the first time I tried it in the store.
Never ran in Skechers. I am not sure it's in my plans for the next 2 years..
Loved my 2 or 3 pairs of GRR 6 and did at least 500 miles in them before replacing them. I'm not liking the GRR 7 as much. They somehow feels slower, but I think it's only perception as it doesn't show on my pace. Looking forward to GRR 8 as well as Speed Elite being released in Denmark.
I've never run in Skechers, and I don't plan to buy any in 2020.
I will say that I'm surprised that they are making good running shoes and am open to them in the future.
The slipping may be due to the sizing, my usual size is 10.5 but i went half a size down for the grr8 to get a better fit granted i have a narrow feet. The hyperburst in the grr8 felt a tad firmer compare to the previous grr7. So far i have put 100km to the shoe and the outsole looks like new...easily can go 500km in my opinion. Great bonding with the family Seth 👍👍
How is it softness and bounchy compare to NB beacon v2 and NB 1080v10 ?
I had the Skechers Go Run Ride 7 as my daily trainer / walkaround shoes and hoping to add Go Run Ride 8 to 2020 due to the Goodyear Outsole rubber.
Just ordered the Max Road Hyper 4. Hope it’s as good as people say.
Lately i run on my Skechers Maxroad 3, it should be great if it has roomier toe box, wish Skechers will have a wider version on each model like New Balance
Fyi , the first shoes that came with Good Year out sole is Xiaomi Amazfit Marathon a chinese brand shoes company
Qod: ran in 1 of the first go run series really light but couldn't get to grips with the pods, then I see Meb win a big marathon in his sketchers tried to order them here in Ireland but they were not available?? Probably 1 off for him, think it was Boston he won or NY
Is it super high volume? I've had the issue with some of the former shoes (I recall the 5 being good) but the new Speed TRL fits great. I might have to stick with the Razor series.
50 degrees in January and you consider that freezing?!? We should be so lucky in Wisconsin....
Plan to get Razor 3+ for track interval. If it works well for 21km, I'll use it for full marathon.
I love love LOVE my Skechers Go Run Hyper 3--on my 2nd pair now, and would run anything from a 10K to a marathon in this shoe. SJD noted in his review of those shoes that they scrunch in the toe box. While that is true, it doesn't cause blisters or rubbing or otherwise bother me--feels more like a second skin (memory crease in toebox) than anything else. Unfortunately, the GRR8 didn't work for me. THe midsole felt great, but the toe box was WAY too roomy. I felt like I was wearing boats--nothing like the sleek, racer-style fit of the Hyper 3. I'm really excited about the Go Run 7+ that's supposed to come out this spring--looks like a more beefed up, daily trainer version of the Hyper 3.
I see that Edward Cheserek is now a Sketches performance elite runner.
Good first thoughts, would love to try them but do far I have been unable to get any Skechers Performance specifically the one in this review here in the UK Skechers are missing a trick!
Peter Gibbs Definitely. We have a Skechers shop in our city (Lincoln), but the trainers are all fashion / comfort focused, rather than performance. I must admit that until I started watching Seth, I wouldn’t have considered Skechers a serious brand for running shoes!
Are these just as the beacon from nb? Ate they basically the same
if you knew sneaker history, tire companies supplied all the rubber for shoes 100 years ago so it's not new. Under Armour works with Michelin Tires
Seth, Adidas has a long time partnership with Continental. Both big German companies. Continental specialized in rubber and performance tyres. Regards Luis 🇵🇹
I really want to get the speed elite (their carbon plate option) but it doesnt seem to be out yet. skechers also doesnt seem to be all that available in the uk either, and where they are, they face a considerable markup.
Can someone compare the Maxroad 4 and GRR8? on paper they look quite similar.
I have 4 pairs of the Ride 7 and love them because I got them for $50 a pair new. Where’s the best place to get these cheap? Maybe I have to wait a few months.
I currently have 60 miles in my GRR8’s. I feel like they are just now getting broke in nicely!
I would like to give them a try, I hope they're true to fit, I can only buy them online according to a local Skechers retail store.
