In reply to Peter Larson. Thanks for the headsup! This is the *best* shoe for my foot & road conditions and I'm so so sad to hear it's discontinued. I had been eagerly waiting for a new years model to come out. Instead I just bought out the little boys size 7's on Amazon as womens and mens aren't available anywhere in my size anymore.

I’ve got a pair of these and love them. The fit is perfect. Any other shoes with a similar fit?

Thanks.

In reply to Piyush. The sole is a mix of Resalyte foam and few patches of rubber (black in the image in the post). Durability depends entirely on your stride and your typical running surfaaces - if you are a scuffer on roads, my guess is the sole will not do as well.

In reply to John Keat. Have not had this problem, but not nearly that many miles on mine. Been wearing the all-weather version lately and really like the upper.

My GBTs died this morning after just 152 miles. Both shoes have split between the sole and the upper on the inner edge. Luckily I’ve been able to get a refund
Anyone else had a similar issue?
I loved them and would like to get another pair but if it’s a common problem I might look at something differnt.

In reply to Peter Larson. I've become a real Skechers whore. GRR3, GBT, and a GRU on its way. The combo of strechiness and ground feel with enough cushioning really hits a sweet spot for me.

I just bought a pair. I tried on one pair without the sockliner in my size and it felt too big. I tried another pair on in a half size down with the sockliner, and it was too small. I bought a pair in my size, with the sockliner in, and it seems about right – even better when I laced it up using the extra hole towards the ankle. I went running on a mix of asphalt, dirt, and rocky/leafy/rooty uphill trail, and they performed wonderfully. The proof is always over the longer term, but a great first day with the GBTs.
