We analyze the Skechers GoRun Ride 5

The Gorun Ride 5 it is especially indicated for medium race rhythms in long shoots

For the next spring-summer months of 2016 Skechers introduces its new model of the GoRun Ride model, the number 5, which presents interesting novelties with respect to the previous version, the GoRun Ride 4. The main variation can be seen in the increase of the material in the sole, with greater increase in Resalyte, which allows us to gain in cushioning 

Sole

Here we find the reason why the GoRun Ride 5 maintains the same weight as the previous model despite the extension of Resalyte material and this is due to the design of the sole, with fewer tacos and deeper grooves. We must also highlight the reinforcements of M-Strike in the metatarsal area and the arches.

Mediasuela

The drop can be classified as 11mm height, the difference between the 21mm of the front of the foot and the 32 of the heel area, so we are talking about a shoe with great cushioning. The first time we wear it we noticed a very unique rocker effect, also due to the elevation of the front part of almost 1cm with respect to the ground. This has the advantage that when we run the contact of the foot with the ground it is very soft. 

The upper

It consists of a single piece without seams with thermo-fused reinforcements in the middle front area, which gives us great lateral consistency and protection in the fingers. We must also highlight the breathable grid in the area of ​​the fingers, ideal for the coming months of spring and summer.

At the back of the shoe stands out the Quick-Fit, (a triangular shaped hole with rounded corners) that makes the GoRun Ride 5 the ideal shoe for triathletes, since thanks to this system it allows the triathlete to put on the shoe quickly. Personally I recommend the shoe for any type of triathlon, both short and long distance and also for any modality, (Acuatlón, duathlon, etc ...). In short tests due to the interior finish with absence of seams can run without problems without socks. Last but not perhaps designed for it, the Quick-Fit facilitates the transport of the shoe when we want to take them to the transition area.

Conclusions

Shoe specially indicated for medium running rhythms in long runs. We have done the test in two types of terrain, asphalt and pressed earth. As is characteristic of the Skechers shoes, the first thing we look at when starting the trot is the great damping. On the other hand, the GoRun 5 model has a higher rigidity than the previous version, so the life of the shoes will be longer.
