Question sir, I don't see any reviews on a GoRun (without the ride) 8. Is 7+ the latest iteration of that series? One has to be very careful with Skechers shoe names! A "plus" here and a 'ride" there can change the whole deal ;-)

[raysollarsthehappyjogger]

I opted to buy the GoRun 7+ instead on clearance today for $69.88. I have the Max Road 4 for cush.

Hi Thomas, great review.
Question, is the 8 firmer in the midsole than the the 7? Loved the 7 but found it just a bit too soft.

[YouTuber-lnvx]

hope you do a review for the SKECHERS HYPERBURST SWIRL GLIDE-STEP TECH-MAX CUSHIONING 🙏🙏🙏

[JamesMincey]

Loved the ventilation in the upper of the GRR7... How is it in the GRR8?

Great video man!

I have a question about sizing. I have 42.5 EU in Nike. What size should i choose in Skechers ?

[cristianfcao]

I'm looking for a versatile daily trainer and I'm between these ones and the Reeboks Floatride Energy. Any preference? How do the midsoles compare? Which one is better for longer distances?

[hriatchhungachhangte]

good review but that mouse clicking sound at the background sounds a bit annoying

[baltsu]

Updates are logical. The previous rubber on the outsole wasn't very durable. I have 935K in my pair and the rubber is at the same level with exposed foam. Hopefully Good Year rubber is more durable. Last year's shoe was also quite ugly. This year it's better but I hate that Seahawks colorway. They should give us something better looking. Skechers increased the price and in order to sell shoes, they should look better.

I know I am 6 months late and i hope this gets answered but I really like what i hear about these sneakers. With that said, what distance would you say you could run with them? A half or full marathon? TIA.

Great review as usual Thomas. How does it compare with your beloved Clifton 6? Would Meaghan buy a second pair of these?

[gregoryking]

Not a fan. Forefoot was swimming in the toe box area.. kind of clunky... basically a meh upper on a great midsole. Sending em back!!!

I've already bought Glideride, but I want to know which one is more fun, Glideride or GOrun Ride 8 Hyper?

[muhamadrizalhadiyansyah]

I'm still confused about how to determine the size of the grr8, my foot length is 25.5cm, what size should I wear?

[tokovictor]

my feet kinda wide, i always buy New Balance wide version, will the Ride 8 right for me ?

[jjcornelio]

These or pegasus 36. Assuming both are for retail.

[CarlitoArgentina]

I'm a Skechers loyal but GRR7 was quite unstable for me, so they ended up on a friend's feeet, is the new version more stable?

[kerenbeard]

Are they soft and comfy as i get pain in toes and ball of foot

[adnansteady]

How does this compare to new balance beacon 2? Hard decision to make

[ralphferraro]

Is the fit true to size ? GRR& fit was tight. had to go with a 1/2 size bigger? Same with the GRR8 or true to size this year ?
