{{DISPLAYTITLE:Best Running Shoe Reviews – Skechers GOrun Ultra}}
Is the [http://www.zappos.com/skechers-ultra GOrun Ultra] a Hoka for only $80? Sadly not, but it's closer than you might expect, though the cost per mile probably works out more than the longer lasting Hokas.{{H:WhatToLookForInShoes}}
* '''Cushioning'''. The GOrun Ultra is massively cushioned in the heel; it's as thick as the thicker Hokas, but softer. However, the forefoot is far thinner.
* '''Protection'''. The GOrun offers little protection compared with other Minimax shoes. This is partly because the forefoot is relatively thin and partly because of the large foam lugs. If you hit a stone between the lugs the forefoot is only 22mm (with insole). If the stone hits on the gap in the red foam, you'd only have about 17mm of remarkably soft foam. Ouch.
