To talk about the Skechers GoRun Forza is to talk about a model distinguished with the "Best Debut" award from the prestigious Competitor magazine, but it is also to talk about the first stability control shoe from the North American brand. And this means that the GoRun Forza represents a notable change of trend in the Skechers Performance catalog, which for the most part presents models oriented towards neutral runners, and with an identity based on lightness, flexibility and a more natural footwear.
However, the Skechers GoRun Forza training shoe presents a new structure, based on a higher density midsole to which the American brand was not accustomed to date. And this density is the key to success in stabilizing the runner's stride.
One of the main novelties of the GoRun Forza is the higher than usualdrop (8mm) compared to other Skechers models, which provides the shoe with great cushioning. In addition, the exclusive Mid-foot Strike technology is at the service of the runner so that he/she can run with a correct body position.
The midsole of the Skechers GoRun Forza has two distinct zones with two different densities. On the one hand, a firmer one, located in the inner part, which is responsible for providing the necessary support to stabilize the stride. And on the other hand, both in the heel and in the outer part, there is another softer density with the mission of contributing to a smoother transition. The fifth generation of the Resolyte cushioning system improves the comfort, response and protection of the model.
The Skechers GoRun Forza also comes with a seamless, one-piece upper for increased breathability, comfort and stability. A stability that is reinforced with the thermo-sealed elements in the front. Here, the Hot-Melt technology comes into play, which allows a better adaptation of the foot in each stride.
On the other hand, Skechers Performance has chosen to incorporate a tight-fitting and breathable diamond mesh fabric in the stretch panel of the shoe, which provides extra support. While the double-layer mesh upper not only offers a better fit, but alsoincreases flexibility, and allows for more freedom of movement.
Other interesting aspects of the Skechers GoRun Forza are its multiple reflective details; the internal support straps, which reinforce the fit and stability; and the integrated insole, which can be removed. In addition, the GoRun Forza weighs 306 grams for the men's version (size 42EU) and 249 grams for the women's model (size 37EU).
