In reply to Brent. I have not run much in the Rides myself (Tyler Mathews wrote this review), but the Ultra is a very soft shoe and I probably would not refer to it as responsive. More a soft, comfy ride for long miles. The Ride has a lot of cushion as well, but not quite as soft feeling as the Ultra if I recollect.

Hi. How would you compare the GRR3 to the GR Ultra? Both are considered more cushioned shoe for longer distance running. I run in GR2 and 3’s but I’m limited to shorter distances in them because of lack of cushioning. I’ve heard that the Ultra is more responsive than the GRR. Any help?

I run mostly in GR3 but I was looking for another Skechers shoe that has more cushioning in it so I can go longer miles and feel like my legs aren’t all beat up. I was looking at the GRR3 vs. the GR Ultra. You mentioned that the GRR isn’t very responsive but better for long runs. HOw would you compare the Ultra then to the GRR? Would the Ultra then be a better shoe in your opinion for longer runs and a bit more responsive?

In reply to Bruce. May reduce it a little, the insole thins progressively from heel to forefoot.

In reply to Peter Larson. thanks, pete. wouldn't the insole also reduce the midfoot bump, or is the insole height raised in the midfoot area also?

In reply to Peter Larson. I agree with you Peter, have just bought a pair, the GRR 3 is a wide shoe, perfect fit to me. But compared to my former running shoes, Asics GT 2160, I could have chosen 1 size smaller.

In reply to Bruce. I didn't find a huge difference in fit between the GR2 and GR3 personally, so if the 4mm drop insole is important I'd go with the 3. I didn't run much in the Ride, but recollect it as being a fairly wide-fitting shoe.

In reply to Peter Larson.

hi pete. so the gorun 2 does not have the insole that increases the drop? i didn’t realize that. i’ve been trying to decide between the gorun 2, gorun 3, or gorun ride 3, and have been leaning toward trying to find a pair of the gorun 2 because my feet are fairly narrow, but i would like to have the 8mm option–that would also reduce the midfoot bump, right? also, does the gorun 2 fit a bit longer than the gorun 3? finally, is there much difference in width between the gorun 3 and the gorun ride 3?

thanks in advance, and sorry for the laundry list,
bruce

In reply to Joe+Iannazzi. GoRun would be softest, next maybe the Altra. Free is the firmest of the 4 you mention. Kinvara 5 is pretty roomy and sole is just about right on me, one of my favorites this year so far. My one problem with the Free 4.0 is sometimes the laces put pressure on the top of my foot, but usually only if wearing them casually for a long time.

In reply to Peter Larson. Thanks, Pete. I was thinking about the One2, but will also look into the Flyknit. How would these options compare to GoRun or Kinvara? (two others I've been considering)

In reply to Joe Iannazzi. Maybe the Nike Free 4.0 Flyknit or if you can manage the zero drop the Altra The One2
