I agree with Peter Stuart it's a very enjoyable shoe to ride. After 650km on them, I d'ont notice any severe signs of wear - I am a light runner: 65kg, 65 years - but, I can feel the wear in my lower back, I fell pain after a 13 km run. Although it seems visually OK, the midsole is not working properly.

My 5-miler in them today was eye opening, because so many reviews claim they are "plush" or "very cushioned". They are very firm, more so than any of my other Skechers except the GoMebs, of course. <br /><br />The firm, less flexible midsole (compared to UltraRoad2/MaxRoad and GoRun-6) is snappier, and facilitates faster paced running better. Dipping below 6:00 pace in my UR2 feels mushy, but the Ride7 seems tuned for it.<br /><br />The upper is very comfortable, and I was surprised that it kept my foot locked in place at speed, unlike the GoRun6 with a similar knit upper. I think the difference is the tongue, and eyelet reinforcement on the Ride7. It makes for a more stable attachment to your foot.<br /><br />The outsole has thicker rubber than the UR2 and GR6, and I suspect it will last longer than the 350 miles I get out of those other models. It isn't as rockered as the others, and my semi-midfoot strike was very loud, but that may also be due to the different rubber compound.<br /><br />The heavier weight of the Ride7 was noticeable compared to UR2/GR6. The snappy rebound made up for the extra weight, but the firmer midsole would probably take it's toll on runs longer than an hour. The 6mm drop felt more like 8mm, again, probably due to the firmer midsole not allowing me to "sink in" as much. I have a bad achilles, and at least on this one run the Ride7 did not aggravate it (similar less flexible shoes often do).<br /><br />My take? I like them, but won't wear them for many training runs longer than 10k/6M, or for speedwork. I think their sweet spot for me is tempo and threshold runs between 3-6M. I also expect to use them for junk miles (just plain old running with no purpose) between 4-6 miles. The Ride-7 is a very mainstream neutral running shoe, similar to Brooks Ghost, Hoka Clifton, Saucony Guide, Nike Pegasus. But more comfortable than any of them. <br /><br />For me, the MaxRoad is the best training shoe Skechers makes right now, at least for longer runs. I'm looking forward to getting the Razor-3 Hyper for fast paced stuff.Surly Billnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-42765522546050038552019-01-21T12:29:22.725-07:002019-01-21T12:29:22.725-07:00Hi Thierry,

The knit is more secure than the gorun. The foot is well maintained.<br />I just have a weird sensation on my left foot. It seem not flat like i could have a supination foot.<br />I need more runs (longest runs or intervalls speed) to have a definitive opinion.<br />Note: before buying the Ride 7, i decided to get a pair of Altra Escalante (i had a pair of Altra Torin 2.5 last year). I love the sensation under the mid-forefoot with Escalante. I found the same feel with the Ride 7.<br />Thought they use the same foam?Thierryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08267307063726858964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-73500380956862500172019-01-17T16:39:11.344-07:002019-01-17T16:39:11.344-07:00BonjourThierry,

They are worn, but I still feel as good in it. Unfortunately this product becomes difficult to find. I don't know which Skechers model to replace them. I think that the Gorun Ride 7 are not as light and nervous as the Gorun 5. I can do a recovery run, or go very fast with the Run 5. They are incredible! I tried many shoes during this time (saucony, asics, adidas, nike, altra...), and I always come back to the Gorun 5. They have something magical. Help me choose their replacements :) Best.Thierryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08267307063726858964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-89162504911855370372018-12-28T09:54:28.397-07:002018-12-28T09:54:28.397-07:00Hi Greg,

I wonder also if the softness of the midsole and for me anyway somewhat unstable forefoot as a result is a factor causing your foot to collapse medially against the strap? Have you tried a different firmer sock liner or a thin flat one with thicker socks understanding this may not be ideal in your climate.

I got mine in true to size for me (US men's 8.5), the length is perfect, the upper feels great on lace-up, but when cornering the stretchy mesh upper does not lock down the foot well and I need to slow down when cornering, or else it feels like my foot slips sideways.<br /><br />Lacing down tightly actually resolves this problem but then after about 3 km or so into the run I develop chafing on the medial sole of my foot related to the overlay strap, which soon develops into a blister. I have (probably foolishly) tested this twice so far, and developed a blister on both attempts. Lace tightly - blister, less tightly, no blister.<br /><br />2.<br />Like Derek, I too am a doctor from sunny, humid Singapore and the upper does get a little hot after several kilometres in, but nothing too terrible and it's bearable.<br /><br />3.<br />Otherwise the shoe actually feels fantastic, light, great cushioning, really smooth transitioning.<br /><br /><br />Overall, if only the upper had some different design for support isntead of one stiff strap on the medial side this would be a nearly perfect shoe for me, but as it is, currently I can't lace it down as tightly as I would like or I suffer blistering. It still works well for runs in long relatively straight routes, but I have to slow down significantly when cornering because the stretchy upper doesn't lock down well.<br /><br />Still, don't regret buying this to try it out, it was (relatively) inexpensive compared to some of the other running shoes out there and the cushioning is really great.<br /><br />I'm waiting to see if the next version has a better upper!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-45017657020392757082018-06-13T18:54:07.811-06:002018-06-13T18:54:07.811-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11382350798135364185noreply@blogger.com
