Editor’s Choice represents an outstanding shoe that successfully
combines the highest-quality design and technology. Winners
received high marks from the Runner’s World Shoe Lab, the
“wear-testers” and the editors. In the issue, Runner’s World noted
that the testers “…heaped praise on the new upper, saying it had an
‘amazing fit’ and calling it ‘extremely comfortable’.” The Skechers
GOrun 4 - 2016 was evaluated amongst multiple shoe brands and 25
models for the Shoe Guide, and will appear in print and online as
part of the Runner’s World shoe finder.
“We are extremely proud that the GOrun 4 - 2016 has been
recognized in such an important way by Runner’s World,” said Rick
Higgins, SVP Merchandising/Marketing for Skechers Performance. “Our
focus over the years has been to provide runners with performance
footwear that is built by runners. Our philosophy is to keep
innovating and developing shoes with the latest unique technologies
in the market. Receiving this award really highlights how committed
we are to bringing the best shoes to runners.”
Introduced by Skechers Performance earlier this year, Skechers
GOrun 4 - 2016 features a GO KNIT sock-like upper, resulting in
reduced weight and increased support. This neutral, lightweight
trainer, also features a Resalyte® cushioned midsole, and Skechers
Performance’s Mid-Foot Strike zone, allowing for a smooth
transition. Skechers GOrun 4 – 2016 is available at select run
specialty and sporting goods stores around the world, as well as
Skechers retail stores and Skechers.com.
“This shoe has been the culmination of our team’s efforts of
listening and reacting to what runners want,” said Kurt
Stockbridge, VP, Technical Development, Skechers Performance. “We
really pushed ourselves to deliver on those principles.”
