So, I browsed the Skechers website for my options and chose the pearly pink ombre colorway (which, I\u2019ll admit,\u00a0<em>is<\/em> even a little cute.) A few days later, the shoes showed up on my doorstep. When I took them out of the box, I could see the appeal. The cushioning was thick and squishy, and the upper felt very soft and pliable. They didn\u2019t have the sleek, modern design of other road shoes on the market, but they weren\u2019t all that bad. Still, memories of trying to impress my middle-school peers with &#8220;cool shoes&#8221; kept creeping in. But when you\u2019re running, the way the shoe performs is way more important than how it looks. And this shoe checks all the boxes for anyone new to road running or who just wants an affordable daily trainer.<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_1133371\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1133371\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1133371 size-full js-inline-lazy-load\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Skechers-GO-RUn-RIde-11_falsexfalse_true_70.webp\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1133371\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Photo: Author<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p>I trained in the Go Run Ride 11s for over two months, mostly on roads but also on some trails through Prospect Park. (Our race would take place entirely on dirt roads, some of which were covered in a few inches of sand.) On trails, I found the outsole to be surprisingly sticky\u2014it\u2019s a rubber blend from Goodyear\u2014but still had a smooth surface that didn\u2019t slow me down on the pavement. The shape of the shoe perfectly wrapped around my foot for a barely-there feel once I broke them in; the toe box is roomy enough to accommodate my wide feet, yet slim enough to feel agile.<\/p>\n<p>But the biggest stand-out for me was the way they made my entire body feel. Usually, when I start running after a long break, I get shin splints and sciatic nerve pain. My hips complain to the point where road running just isn\u2019t fun at all. This time? No pain. The thick cushioning and carbon fiber plate provided enough rebound that my body didn\u2019t take much of the impact. Striking the ground felt comfortable in a way I had never experienced before.<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_1133375\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1133375\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1133375 js-inline-lazy-load\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Skchers-HS-2_falsexfalse_true_70.webp\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1133375\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Photo: Author<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re in the market for new road running shoes, these come with a couple of caveats. First, they got very warm if I ran on days over 65 degrees, so they wouldn\u2019t be my go-to for hot climates. They also take a few days to break in and for the first few outings, the insole felt stiff and created a burning sensation underfoot. (Basically, take them for a few warm-up walks before you jump into the mileage.) But these drawbacks are mild in comparison to how they make me feel: A shoe that allows me to run pain-free\u2014on roads no less\u2014is one that I\u2019ll definitely reach for regularly.
