Re: Skechers GOrun 2. Hailed the shoe of the future.
Got my pair of the GOrun 2's today. I decided to go for a short run around campus. Forefoot/midfoot striking in these shoes was not comfortable for me. The only style that felt "good" was too close to heel striking for my liking. I ran for about 5 minutes. I have already cleaned them and will be returning them to Zappos tomorrow.
I wish I could have given them more of a chance, but I didn't want them to get too worn to return. I was hoping these shoes would be a nice balance between barefoot/fivefingers running and normal running shoes but it was not to be.
Afterward I went for a 30 minute barefoot run on our indoor track and felt great. So it looks like I'm going to stick with barefoot/vibrams for now.
