Worst running shoe ever
586285
This is supposed to be a trail running shoe. Having bought Asics previously, I was not expecting this product. The shoes are soft, mushy, seem narrower in width, and lack the support that I have had in previous shoes. I run on dirt trails and need a show that offers great arch support, stability, etc. This shoe has none of these qualities.

USED IT A FEW TIMES (NOT EVEN FOR SPORTS ACTIVITY) AND ITS TOP FRONT IS TEARING FOR NO REASON. HAD MANY ASICS RUNNING SHOES BUT THIS IS THE WORST.

Bought these shoes thinking they would be somewhat like the Nike Flex 2013 RN Running Shoes I bought about a year ago.  NOT EVEN CLOSE.  They are the most uncomfortable running shoes I've ever owned.  They are the same size as my others, but feel like they cut back on the material across the top of the shoe.  Way too tight.  Plus, the soles are hard rubber, not soft like my other Nike's.  I paid over $100 for them.  Totally disappointed as they will most likely go in the trash.

The design of this shoe was clearly not thought through and it has resulted in me getting deep, painful blisters on the sides of my pink and big toes every time I try running in them. There is a thin, silver decorative element that runs down the toe area and it rubs the inside of your toes. If you think you're going to run longer than a mile in these shoes without pain, think again. I've tried everything from a 3 mile to an 8 mile run in these shoes thinking maybe one more run will break them in and it isn't happening. I even wore them to work one day just to lightly cruise around in them and even that left me with blisters. I am SUPER disappointed and this is the first time Brooks has just really let me down. On top of it, I've tried calling the customer service line at Brooks 6 different times and the automated systems keeps kicking me out before I can speak with a representative. This is overall just the worst Amazon and Brooks purchases I've ever made.

I bought a pair of GOrun shoes yesterday at a Shoe Dept Encore store. I. HATE. THEM. I run 3x a week, two miles each time (about 30 minutes as I cannot yet run all the way from start to finish. I have been using Nike running shoes with no issues whatsoever, because regular Skechers no longer fit me well. I tried these on in the store and they fit very well, and I thought these GOrun shoes would improve my performance and let me go farther during each running phase of my run. I couldn't have been more wrong.

I started experiencing pain in my legs almost immediately, and thought it might just be because I have to break in the new shoes. It did not improve, however; in fact, by bedtime I had started feeling twinges in my lower back and had to wrap my right foot just so I could walk. Today my back is still twinging, and if I didn't know better I'd say I dropped something on my right foot because it hurts almost exactly like I did. My legs are more sore than usual and I am even having some neck pain (probably because I had to adjust my sleeping position due to the back and leg pain).  These shoes have absolutely NO impact absorption or cushioning. None whatsoever. At one point during my run, I seriously considered going the rest of the way barefoot - that's how bad it was. .

The best part? I can't return these stupid things. The store policy is that only UNWORN shoes can be returned. How the heck is somebody supposed to know if a running shoe will work for them if they can't actually RUN in them? As pretty as these shoes are, they are useless for anybody who wants a pain-free experience. I won't even use them to walk the mall at this point. I want nothing to do with them at all now. I will just use my two-year-old Nike shoes for now, because they have more cushioning than these brand-new Skechers do; and if I see a deal on anything bearing the Skechers name, I'll get in some extra exercise by running the other way as fast as I can.

UPDATE 2/27/14: I had posted on the Skechers Facebook page, with what I felt was a polite, well-thought-out complaint about these shoes.  They not only did not reply to it (as they had done to some complaints that were FAR from polite), they blocked my ability to post to their page.  Is this how Skechers treats their customers?  If so, I can assure you that I am never buying ANY of their products ever again.  This one is the worst pair of shoes I have ever gotten from them - most of the time I have very good luck with whatever I buy from them, but this... I wouldn't wish these shoes upon my worst enemy.

Worst shoe I've ever owned. Bought this shoe before I went fishing in Costa Rica hoping for comfort on the boat during long days marlin and sailfish fishing. But the seam that runs across the inside of the shoe on the top rubbed terrible blisters on the top of both feet on the first day. I had to fish barefooted for the next 4 days because my feet were hurting so bad.

I have been wearing Asics for several years now and these are the most uncomfortable pair I have ever owned. Do yourself a favor and don't buy them.

Well I read most of the glowing reviews on this sneaker. I was excited to use them for my daily 5 mile runs . What a DISAPPOINTMENT.  I have developed blisters on the inside of my big toe near my arch due to the stitching of the outer design on the shoe. I have tried different socks and was hoping with continued use they would turn out ok. What a JOKE these Asics are. They have little support and poor cushioning on top of the blister producing mess that is this shoe.

PROBLEM -- I've tried to figure out what the hell is wrong with this shoe and my research located several sites that say they designed this shoe to "roll" outwards in the heel. The inner part of the shoe heal is higher (more padded?) than the outside, causing your foot to roll out as if walking on a slight incline. I find this utterly and entirely annoying. There is nothing I can tell at all good that comes from this. So unless you know you need shoes that do this (your foot doctor diagnosed it) skip these shoes. NB tried to solve a problem that doesn't seem to exist and all the website I've checked say this design does nothing for a runner -- except make you wish you were wearing a different pair of shoes.

I have never written Ryka shoes, but decided to go for it after reading so many rave reviewson them. Well, these are about the worst fitting athletic shoes ever. They are way too shallow in the heel well & are too wide in the heel, as well. They slipped all over the place. They definitely do not run small, as many said, I wear an 8 in almost every shoe out there, and the 8 was at least a 1/2 size too big. Cushioning? What cushioning. I ordered these and another pair & will be returning both pairs. I will never order Ryka's again.

The fit was the only positive thing.  The way the bottom of the shoe is done means that by the third wearing the cushion was flat and it was like standing on a milk crate grid.  My  feet hurt so bad that I was that I literally could not walk without assistance.  I relied on the name, but will never buy from them again.

Positives: looks, lightweight, appears well made

Negatives: This shoe is mega uncomfortable. I went from sketcher shape ups to this & regret it. Im on my feet 12hrs 3 days a week on tile & my feet are hating me. I couldn't imagine running in them. I won't buy these ever again. I got what I paid for

The uppers of these shoes are far too rigid.  I put around 50 miles into the shoes and it has been causing pain in my left heel since day one.  I am sure that there is some defect in my gait that is a contributing factor, but this is the only pair of shoes I have ever worn that has caused this issue.  I bought these based on the glowing reviews from other long distance runners, but there were not right for me

These shoes offer zero arch and heel support. As an avid runner, I would not recommend them to anyone.

These shoes do not fit well at all. I've been wearing/running in Asics for years and this is the first pair I've had trouble with. Have tried to break them in but with difficulty. I even have the blisters and sore spots on my feet as evidence.

these are the worst shoes I have ever worn.  I have been wearing Steve Madden shoes my whole life and I have never experienced the pain that these shoes put me in.  My feet were bleeding after walking just a few blocks.  Even with inserts these shoes are horrible!

This running shoe did not hold up. I bought it in April and the back and soles had the wear and tear of a shoe that was a year old! Very poor quality. I wa s only running a short distance several times a week. I am a lifelong runner and these shoes should have lasted at least a year.
