The cushioning lacks bounce, especially when compared with a Hoka. However, I didn't find the cushioning had quite the bounce of the Hoka, or most other shoes for that matter. The GOrun Ultra Road has lots of cushioning, almost as much as the Hoka Clifton. 4 A Comparison with other Recommended Shoes.3 Visualizing the Attributes of the Skechers GOrun Ultra Road.(I use The Science of Running Shoes as the basis of how I test running shoes and what you should look for in a running shoe.) If you don't mind its excessive weight then the Ultra Road might be 'Worth Considering.' It's possible you might actually want some extra weight for training, as it could build a little extra strength and make a better shoe feel even faster. As a result of all of this, I've been tempted to rate of the Ultra Road as 'Not Recommended', but even with all these shortcomings I think he could work for some runners. So sadly, I had to conclude that yet again the Ultra Road had managed to disappoint me. I was further surprised to find that by the end, the Ultra Road had held onto twice as much water as of the Hyper Speed. I was surprised to find that the Ultra Road stayed squishy for far longer than the Hyper Speed. I weighed the shoes and socks dry, then thoroughly soaked them both and went for a 30 minute walk. I compared the Ultra Road on one foot with the Asics Gel Hyper Speed on the other, both with identical socks. This could make it a good option for races where you expect your feet to get briefly soaked, such as periodic stream crossings. The main gimmick for the Ultra Road is its drain holes and upper that does not absorb so much water. I'm continually surprised by how heavy the Ultra Road feels when I pick it up maybe they added a little kryptonite just for me. I found the Ultra Road to be rather gimmicky and way too heavy.

This review has taken rather a long time to write to you to my reluctance to put many miles on them. I'll attempt to be as objective as I can in this review, but I dislike running in the Skechers Ultra Road far more than I expected. I hoped yet again that this time they'd create a great shoe that a reasonable price, but sadly my disappointment continues. While the first Skechers shoes I tried (the bionic) were quite outstanding, that occurrence has not been repeated with their subsequent shoes. I ordered the Skechers GOrun Ultra Road in a triumph of optimism over experience.
