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?
I was very surprised at how well I adapted to outdoor running, which fortunately is a result of doing decent treadmill runs.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.
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.
yeah they're an amazing shoe for the price. i put 1000+ km's on a pair.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.
You should change your running shoes roughly every 800km depending on the surface you run on. Running on grass will lengthen their lifespan. One way of telling that you need to change your shoes is if you run on gravel and you start to feel the rocks in the forefoot, albeit lightly through the sole of the shoe.I was just curious if there is any runners in this forum that can offer some advice.

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.
The first Kayanos I got was in 2002. It was like walking on air.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.
