Skechers GO RUN Ride 11 Review

This may be the best daily trainer out there. The upper is super comfortable and high quality, although breathability is a little lacking and could be toasty during the summer months. The dual-density super critical midsole foam is one of the best in the business. It's soft, yet bouncy. Resilient over the long miles. Doesn't really force you into any pace. The Carbon Infused trainer plate in the forefoot is not intrusive and provides a little extra pop at toe off. The outsole is fantastic. Excellent traction in any condition, and its durable. I'd put this shoe against a lot more expensive daily trainers. Downsides: The arch does take a little getting used to, but once running, I don't really notice it. As mentioned, breathability could be better. Also, this is a bit on the heavier side in the category. That being said, it doesn't run heavy. How would I improve it? Take some of the padding out. Its on the verge of super plush. Also, a thinner, more breathable forefoot and midfoot area. Maybe gusseting the tongue for a better lockdown. Overall, this is a very good shoe that I would recommend for anyone getting started, doing couch to 5K, maybe you're on a budget, or just looking for a well cushioned daily trainer.
