Gorun 3 - Skechers GOrun 3 Road Running Shoe - Men's

I bought a pair of Gorun Ultra's earlier this fall from Camp Saver and think they might be the best shoes I've ever had, and I've have a lot over the 40 years of running I've accumulated. I used the Ultra's to run a marathon and regularly training with them on rocky trails in near my home in Colorado. They work great. They are just a little heavier than other racing shoes I've used so I have been looking for a super light weight, well cushioned shoe to race in.

The weight of the Gorun 3's caught my eye when surveying the various shoes made by Skecher on the Camp Saver web site. They are definitely light, feel like my legs are 10 years younger using them. They fit like a glove like the Ultra's do and I really appreciate the raised arch which soothes my old fallen arches and reminds me to be a little more aggressive about mid to forefoot striking.

I think Skecher could improve the shoe by transferring some of the cushy material from the heel into the forefoot and maybe back off the arch support a tiny bit as well. I am a little disappointed in the forefoot cushioning as built. Might only be good up to a 1/2 marathon distance for that reason. Good shoe, can't wait to do a 5k in them!
