The Surprising Comfort of Skechers Go Run Ride 11 Running Shoes

[@bm6563]

Always nice to see a review on Skechers performance shoes, rather than the usual Nike, Adidas, etc. I think they're overlooked and unfairly underrated.

[@wildforthecats661]

Got my pair the other day. Fantastic shoe.

[@FordyRuns]

yes it really is

[@joerig96]

Still Ride 7 is the best comfortable skechers running shoes, still wearing my three pairs

[@francescocipullo3436]

How much do they feel different from the max road 5? The max road 6 seems different from the 5 and i thought the ride 11 would be an upgrade from the max road 5

[@kuriosites]

I had the Ride 10 but I felt like I was bottoming out if I didn't land on the lump (aka, Hyperarch), which I was not a big fan of.

[@aristodiga82]

sorry, weight is 10.6oz for what size?

[@FordyRuns]

Uk 9.5

[@TolunayOrkun]

I think with stack increase Ride 11 has basically taken the place of MaxRoad 5 while MaxRoad 6 has become super high stack and heavier shoe limiting its use cases. I think Ride 11 is a more versatile shoe than MaxRoad 6. Personally, I think Razor 4 is their better shoe and someone looking for a versatile shoe from Skechers should look at Razor 4 (and it has better midsole too) instead of these two models.

I use skechers athletic shoes all the time but you won't find them in the shops they are only available on line. I still use my old go ride 8 for slow plod recovery runs they are so comfortable, I use razors as my daily trainers and for races I have a pair of razor excess shoes , but I only run up to 1/2 marathon distance but they are so light and preppy

The Skechers Ride 11 has been on my wishlist for a few months. Hope to get them soon. I live in India, close to Mumbai, and there are plenty of Skechers exclusive outlets in a lot of malls here. At present, the only Skechers I have are the Go Run Pulse. Damn comfy shoe that made me a Skechers fanboy. Sorry if I'm wrong, but I think you said the stack height is 35 mm. Skechers USA and UK sites show the stack height to be 38/32 mm. Great review overall, though I see myself doing longish runs of 15-21 kms in them.

Would you like to share your review if you've purchased it?

[@brianflath9037]

I had the GoRun Ride 6 I believe & loved it. Haven’t had it in a while though but this update looks great!

[@manuel_877]

Good morning. Helpful information about the Skechers 2023. Like to Fordy. Have a great day. 🌳🏃🌞

[@FordyRuns]

Thank you

[@MadLadsAnonymous]

Fordy, You'd take this over the Velocity Nitro 2 for a do-everything shoe?

[@FordyRuns]

Yep

[@MadLadsAnonymous]

@@FordyRuns High praise! Cheers.

[@filoIII]

Is the Ride 11 similar to the Nimbus 24? What shoe do you compare it to feel-wise?

[@joshjelden]

I am really loving the Max Road 6…has me debating on whether to pick this up and alternate the 2 or maybe hold out for the Triumph 21 as more a traditional premium daily trainer

[@yakiweiss546]

You have a strange explanation for the things you don't like about the shoe 🙂

[@lipcovitch1]

I'm not from UK. In 2019 I visited London and found two skechers setores. One at Oxford Street and the other at convent garden. Does anyone know if they are open? Many thanks.

[@FordyRuns]

Both are

[@keitheager6023]

Skechers is in all the malls in Canada. They are overpriced in this region and none of the stores carry any Skechers performance shoes 👀. Despite this I ordered the max road 5 from an online sale. I hope theyre worth the fuss 🤞

[@FordyRuns]

They are

[@russellbutt1553]

Yeah, I've a Skechers store near me, but like all the Skechers stores I've ever come across they NEVER have any of their performance running shoes. Just the walking shoes that pensioners wear... They're really missing a trick.

[@TumoRuns]

You can only ever buy the go run consistent and elevates; both of which are the Skechers equivalent of the Nike downshifter series 😂 not a fan of trying a new brand without being able to test the sizing really, particularly if I don’t know the quality of the returns policy!

[@FordyRuns]

Fair point same here in the uk

[@russellbutt1553]

@@FordyRuns Ha, I'm talking about the stores in Uxbridge and Wembley 😂

[@fbeech1765]

I changed to sketchers since listening to your podcast and I love them!!

[@FordyRuns]

This is awesome

[@andrewcollier3495]

Sketchers stores are everywhere in Malaysia, the kids use the slip on Sketchers for school. Super comfy shoes and their apparel is pretty decent as well 👍 Maybe not the trendiest brand out there but very good value, good quality and a decent product.

[@FordyRuns]

Yeah 100%

[@edster8416]

Very underrated. Yet serious runners don't go for this brand. Most the time I see uncle aunties at their retirement age rocking these for casual walks specially the loafers and slips ons rather than their running shoe even so if its running it's more like going get groceries or walk in the park. Still comfy tho.

[@michaellopour7409]

Kofuzi that you?!? 😂

[@FordyRuns]

🤣🤣🤣

[@DeeDeeDanone]

I know they're likely good shoes but I just can't get down with Skechers, that's Grandpa chic right there. Their running shoes don't have their own premium aesthetic they look exactly like the shoes old Ethel is wearing down at Farmfoods.
