The minimalist running shoe is aimed at people transitioning from heel striking to midfoot striking. The rubber pods and concave midsole encourage you to land on your midfoot, just like barefoot running.

Skechers GOrun

Runner's World Magazine takes a close look at the Skechers GOrun. This barefoot-training hybrid is lightweight and flexible so your foot can bend however it wants. The rounded heel forces a mid-foot strike and helps propel you forward. The GOrun offers extra durability at the landing zones and a glove-like fit for ultimate comfort.

Least is Best

Minimalist shoes are making a splash on the running scene as a way to mimic barefoot running. Skechers GOrun makes Competitor Magazine's list of top contenders. This light and flexible shoe makes for an easy transition to the new running style. The low heel drop encourages runners to strike at the mid foot. Skechers recommends getting comfortable with these shoes before setting off on a long run.

Elite marathon runner and Skechers GOrun fan Meb Keflezighi is gearing up for the 2012 Olympic trials. Hopefully the minimalist sneakers will lead him to a spot in the 2012 Summer games.

Meb Keflezighi, the 36 year old "top US distance runner," set a PR of 2:09:13 in the New York City Marathon today, even after stopping around mile 22 due to sickness. He finished sixth overall in a record breaking race.

Without a contract at the start of the year, Meb now runs in the Skechers GOrun. He's trained in them for over 1,400 miles, to get them just right. Says Keflezighi, "For how old I am, to PR with new shoes, they're great."

Keflezighi is currently the most decorated American distance runner and his accomplishments include being the former American record holder in the 10,000 meters, a 20-time national champion, and the greatest distance runner in UCLA history.
