If you’re up for the challenge though, the Skechers GoRun Speed Elite Hyper will repay you spades of speed and agility. You’ll need experienced legs to be able to control the speed, and you'll have to tolerate the tightness of the upper and the stiffness of the midsole. One thing all of these shoes have in common is that they're not very beginner-friendly. Although it has a softer midsole, the Asics Metaracer also feels similar to the GoRun Hyper Elite. The firmer foam somewhat disables the propulsion effect of the winglet, but even so, this shoe is super fast.įrom a running mechanics standpoint, the GoRun speed Hyper Elite reminded us of the Salomon S/Lab Phantasm (opens in new tab), an excellent minimalist racing shoe that retails at a similar price. We doubt anyone would want to use the GoRun Speed Hyper Elite for jogging, but thanks to the forefoot’s pronounced rocker shape and the winglet, the shoes will allow runners to go really fast (even if they didn’t want to). It’s firmer and has a lower profile than the marathon world record-beating Adidas and Nike shoes, but more experienced runners will be able to harness its power just fine.
The short answer is yes, the Skechers GoRun Elite Hyper can pick a fight with the big dogs. Would it be able to deliver a decent running experience? How would it perform on the road? Could it come close to the performance of other big-name brands such as Adidas, Nike and Asics? The Skechers GoRun Hyper Elite is peculiar, and we didn't quite know what to expect from our first encounter with a high-performance Skechers running shoe.
The upper matches the lightweight-ness of the rest of the shoes and provides a race-tight fit. Both of these qualities set the shoes apart from the rest of the high-stack competition with their near-40 mm heels and aggressive 10mm drops. The shoe has a moderate 4mm drop, and a low stack height (forefoot: 19mm, heel: 23mm).
The Skechers GoRun Speed Elite Hyper is an extremely lightweight shoe: a men’s UK size 10 weighs a mere 192g – only 7g heavier than the much-hyped Nike ZoomX Streakfly.
