Hi,

I have been reading a bit about the sketchers go run rides 7. Has anyone ran in them , what are your thoughts? Is the upper quite breathable or hot? Are they a responsive shoe and comfortable shoe to run in? How do they compare with the vomeros, glycerins and triumphs. Thanks.

No one has reviewed this shoe on the LetsRun Better Running Shoe site.

Actually the only go run shoe that has a review is the Go Run 4. So if you've run in it, we'd love your review.

Sid by side comparisons of shoes is something we need to add.

I love the Ride 7! Having tried the Ultra Road and Ultra Trail before and finding the lack of lateral stability a deal breaker, I was very surprised at how great these shoes are. The responsiveness reminds me of the early Boost models only much lighter and with a far superior upper and wide toe box. I ran an April marathon in them and despite impossible conditions, they did everything that was expected of them. As dumb as it might sound, I also own the 4% Vapor Fly and the Ride 7s work better for me in every way.

just got my first pair last week and took them out on a 16 mile run. they're AMAZING! reminds me of the OG Hoka Clifton, but without the rocker. Upper is very breathable and stretchy. Ride is plush but responsive enough. Seem like a great recover run/slow long run shoe.

I really like the Ride 7, if you can get them on sale.

If you plan on paying the full $120ish, the New Balance Beacon is essentially the same shoe, but at 2oz lighter and much better looking.

Having said that, the Ride 7 was my favorite recovery shoe until I found the Beacon. It is a good shoe, again, if you can get it on sale.

The Ride 7 is $90. Best value in running shoes right now. I have 3 pairs and they are fantastic for easy days on the road. Their new foam is also very resilient. 300 miles on a pair and I swear I can't even tell they aren't new. Well cushioned, plenty light, and the fit is super comfortable. I doubt you will find a better neutral shoe for easy running. I also have the Beacon and it's not in the same category as the Ride 7. The Beacon is a very lightweight trainer/heavy racer with a much lower drop and less cushion. The Beacon is also a great shoe, but I wouldn't wear it for daily training. It has a lower drop and much firmer ride than the Ride 7. They actually compliment each other very well. The Beacon is much better for faster running, while the Ride 7 is better for easy running when you want support and cushioning.

Agree with you about the Beacon. Ran 16 in them last week out of the box and my feet were pretty beat up relative to how they feel after a long run in the Ride 7s. The Fresh Foam also can't hold a candle to Boost or FlightGen as far as responsiveness goes. Very dead imo. What they do have going for them though is their incredibly light weight. Very nice on uphills, not so much on the downs.

GRR7: if you have a lower volume foot it's a good shoe avoid though if you have a higher volume wider foot...It may seem like a different class of shoe but the new NB 890 is great for a wider foot the cushioning seems to soften a little after 50miles.

I really like the Ride 7, especially its responsiveness in impossible conditions.

Hi,

I now have ordered a pair (7's) thanks for the recommendations. I wonder how they compare with the new Brooks Glycerine 16/s and the new Adidas supernova Glides . I didn't like the Brooks levitate or the Saucony triumph iso 4's , to firm, inflexible and heavy.

Hi,

I just bought the the skechers gorun ride 7 on sale and I am impressed - cushioned, light and responsive.

I have only been for short run in them, a very comfortable running shoe and the price :)

Cheers
