I wanted to give these a try now that they are being clearanced out. I picked up the Red and Blue pair as they were the cheapest variant (although it is a nice color scheme as well). I normally wear a size 12 and I found these to fit perfectly. These are my first pair of Skechers but my kids have gotten them before. I will say that the ones we have gotten the kids, while spendy, have also held up extremely well compared to other brands they have worn so I was expecting a quality adult shoe and was not disappointed with the build on the Gorun's.

The upper is one of the best and most comfortabel I have worn. It is a almost form fitting strechy material in a lot of places and fits alomst like a shoe/sock. Seems to be well constucted and again is flat out comfortable. I did some online research prior to purchasing and most of the reviews I found rave about the upper as well.

I have high arches so the rocker sole was super noticeable for me. Yes I can feel it slightly, but nothing to bad when walking around. When running the sole becomes less noticeable the faster I go. First time out it hit my feet and lower leg muscles in a little different way so that they were sore, but that isn't a bad thing per se to hit those muscles a bit differently.  I am 6'3 and around 205 so I weigh enough that most minimalist soles don't give me a lot of cushion. These are more cushioned than the MT10's I have, anything in the five finger's line, or the Merrell glove series. Very similar to my Kinvara 2's in that there is just enough cushioning to not jar me to badly, but I can still feel my feet hitting the road so to speak.

They are very light weight and flexible as well. Heel to to drop is I think around 4mm which is more minimal than traditional. The sole itself is mostly foam with some harder rubber in the center and along the front edges. I run indoors in the winter so they do all right durability wise on the treadmill but it will be interesting to see how they fare on harder outdoor surfaces. For the current clearance prices though these are a great pair of shoes. I have seen a lot of reviews go both ways on these, either love or hate. I am in the like camp and actually picked up 2 other styles of skechers to try out as well under the current pricing. (Those are very well made as well). The 1st generation of Goruns are decent and it looks like they are adjusting them slightly for subsequent generations in order to address customer feedback.

I would recommend the Skechers shoes and think they match the quality of the more establish brands. For what some of the gorun styles are selling for right now they are worth taking a shot at if you are on the fence.
