Skechers GO RUN Alpha Tempo Review

I've been running exclusively in Skechers GoRun products for a decade. These are the first shoes that have physically hurt my feet. The Good: -These shoes are furiously fast. I got best half marathon time without much effort. -The sole is excellent and the carbon plate is fabulous for sprints and speed. The transition from strike to lift off is perfect. The Bad: - Blisters. Oh my gosh, so many big blisters and hot spots. On the side of my big toes, and the tip of my second toes. Nonstop blisters. I've re-laced and tried various running socks. My foot fits properly in the shoe length-wise, but this toe box just ain't it. -Aggressive Arch. On my recovery days, I found my foot was very sore from pounding the arch "support" in these those. There's no room for the foot to flex, it's like coming down on a rod. After less than 100 miles, I just can't run in these anymore. Skechers serious running shoes are sadly becoming scarce, so I was very excited about these, but I'm sad to have to take them out of the rotation for my heath and sanity. But please don't give up on serious runners, Skechers! I hate that I have to now look at other brands due to the gap in product availability (i.e. no serious trail shoes for over a year, slow/mushy GogaMat insoles, etc….)
