In reply to Pete Larson. You add weight when you pick up stones, so you might as well have a non-hard, flexible addition that won't give you metatarsalgia.

In reply to Rose. For knee pain you could go either to a very minimal shoe like a Vibram or Merrell Road Glove and see if that makes a difference, but you would need to build very gradually as they can be hard on your feet. Alternatively, you could go for something maximally cushioned like a Hoka Bondi. That being said, if pain is sever the best approach would be to see a therapist who can help find the root cause of the pain.

Hi there, what type of show would you recommend for a person with runners knee pain. I been searching for the right shoe that can handle 10 miles run. I recently purchased Nike shoe and thought it could help but still the same. I have no problem running from the treadmill but when i run outdoor is when i feel the knee pain. i constantly have to stop for 50 steps and run again whenever i felt the pain. someone recommended a VIBRAM but i would like a good review before i purchase another pair. You probably can recommend a good pair for like me have Knee pain issue. i believe i have a high arch heel. I am 113 lbs, so weight is not an issue.

In reply to Kai Tarng. The sockliner in v2 is thicker so hopefully will take care of the slippage issue.

Glad to hear about GoBionic 2 coming soon. I have the GoBionic for about half a year now, I really love the shoe but I have some issues with it. The sockliner in the right shoe bunched up under my foot and I can’t seem to straighten it. Running without the sockliner makes me feel the grid lines of the midsole pods which is uncomfortable at times especially when standing still. Also, there are no reflectives on the shoe at all, a bit dangerous to use at night.

If these issues are fixed, then it would be perfect. GoBionic is one of the very few shoes I can run sockless in for 21k without much chafing, other than my Virrata.

I just love the go bionics, love them. I’m a big guy, beyond Clydesdale…more mastodon-ish in size and I have never had shoes these good. It may seem odd, but it is true. And even though I’ve been told that one day I may have physical issues with them, due to my size, knock on wood, some nine months later I’m having no issues, knock on wood. I’m afraid that Skechers will discontinue the line. Any word that you may have heard that Skechers will stop making the bionics, or upgrade them?

In reply to Ling Esh. Since I don't do a lot of trail running not sure what is best. Maybe try asking in the Forum?

In reply to Zach. I wear a size 10 in the MR00. Would you suggest a size 10 in the GoBionic? The length is the concern as the MR00 are plenty wide for my foot.
