I know they are not directed towards just running, but from what I have been told by Ches (cousin of mine), he says that the spikes are amazing and better than the victory's. They have not released the spikes are far as im knowledgeable but i'm sure when they do they will change the game.
Also, the Razor 3s, I have them; AND THEY ARE BY FAR 100% BETTER THAN THE VAPORFLY.
And the ride 7s, BEST TRAINER OF ALL!
If you like them so much, why don't you know there isn't a "t" in Skechers?
When I think of Skechers, all I think of is the fatty's who used to wear the "Shape Up's"....

He is obviously talking about a different company... one that does art stuff.
But seriously... the Razor 3 is phenomenal.
They running tights seem good...

Hopefully they can find more distributors beyond Running Warehouse outside of the US (I'm in Australia and RW Aust. appears to be the sole distributor).
I've become a convert, owning the Razor 2's, Meb Speed 5 and the GRR7's, and am pretty impressed, particularly with the 7's. They suffer from all the perception stuff mentioned here and elsewhere, which is a shame as their core line is bloody good. The razor 3's haven't made it to our shores and wouldn't be sure how'd they'd sell as at around $200AUD they're up against some established big name competition. If they'd sponsor a couple of nationally ranked up-and-comers (runners and/or triathletes) they might get taken a bit more seriously in the running/tri community, which may then filter down to Jack and Jill Mainstream.

Saw a rumor (not really, just a little nugget of info) that the spikes are around 2.8 oz, which would make it the lightest middle distance spike to ever hit the market, beating the 3.2 oz Saucony Endorphin MD 4 of a few years ago. It essentially looks like a pretty standard MD spike taking some cues from the Victory series, but with updated materials. Can't wait.

probably because he bought fake shoes.
I find their website terrible. Can you give a brief overview of what shoes are for what purpose? What's the "gateway drug" to start with? The ride 7s?
if Ches really is your cousin, can you find out what's going on with his citizenship status?
Is Ches actually your cousin?
