i've found it impossible to locate good Skechers running shoes in this country. they have some of the cheaper more clunky models but i'd like to get my hands on the GoRun 5/6 or the GoMeb Razor/Razor2.I have highish arches and switched to light weight runners a couple years ago and never looked back as a former supportive running shoe user, I am onto my 3rd pair of skecher go runs, dont let the skecher name put youn off they are seriously good, and only around $100, or less at places like DFO for the old models, I bought 3 pairs of the gorun 4s for $40 each because I liked them so much.
Theyre not minimalistic but getting down that way, took me a couple weeks of reduced running to get used to how light and soft they are after years of bulky shoes, but it forced me to develop a much lighter running style and I rarely get any inuries/persistant soreness anymore.
Not for everyone but I reckon lighter shoes would suit more people than not.

looked in a few shops and they dont have them. contacted Skechers AU and they said they arent bringing them in.
they stock kids shoes with flashing lights for christ sake and about 18 different varieties of womens walking shoe but the performance running shoes get ignored.
it sounds like the change of surface is beating up your legs...treadmills are a lot more forgiving than pavement. give it a week or so and if your legs don't start to adapt then its time for new shoes.I was just curious if there is any runners in this forum that can offer some advice.
How often should you change your running shoes? Ive done about ~500-600 kms of running in them but all on a treadmill. They look (which is irrelevant) brand new still but importantly feel reasonably good, I think.
Ive started running at the beach, but on the paved run way. I have felt the shock of the ground on my knees and legs afterwards when I go to sleep, but not while running.
Should I buy a new pair of runners? Would they make a massive difference?

there's a lot of variables that go into the life expectancy of a shoe and there's no hard and fast rules about when to replace them but its better to do it too soon rahter than too late.
I bought a pair of these online for $85 on sale just as a 2nd walking/gym type pair. One day randomly tried them for an actual road run and they are better than my 'proper' far more expensive ones.

These ones?yeah they're an amazing shoe for the price. i put 1000+ km's on a pair.
just picked up a pair of the newer version 2.0 from Rebel for $80 last week. the sale ended on Monday but i'm sure they'll do it again.
the midsole and outsole are exactly the same as the original but they've made a fairly significant change to the upper (for the better).
Yeah that’s them. I grabbed another pair from Reebok for $65 + postage in a nicer blk/wht colorway but they only have a few sizes left now.
I bought about 3 pairs of Asics runners in row about a decade ago. Reasonably good shoes that I wasn't unhappy with but imo extremely overpriced.
Are you a heel striker? I'm at the stage where I need to replace my running shoes shortly, but I'm a forefoot striker (more of amid-foot striker after the first 20 minutes or so).Farken, ended up spending more money on runners I pretty much didn't need but got hooked on after watching a few reviews on YouTube.
Puma Deviate Nitro, Puma's entry into the carbon plate market. These shoes are a killer, nitrogen infused foam midsole provides heaps of pop when running and the legs feel fresh even after 15k. The only downside is the heel friction. It doesn't lockdown as tight as it could which can lead to heel slippage and in my case blisters. Bandaids and anti-blister socks fixed that.
My long distance rotation is Triumph 18, Clifton 7, Boston 10, 1080v10, Glideride and now the Deviate Nitro.
This isn't counting my racing shoe rotation nor trail shoes either.
I seriously have a problem

The first Kayanos I got was in 2002. It was like walking on air.
I swear they've changed them since then (for the worse)- the sole is not as good, idk.
Still have a quite a few kms left in the 2.0s but have you tried any newer ones.yeah they're an amazing shoe for the price. i put 1000+ km's on a pair.

i found the shoe needs to be broken in. the ride is a bit harsh for the first 30ish k's but then something magical happens and it becomes super smooth.
...and they run long so i had to size down which could be a problem if you have a wide foot but i don't.
