At 63 and over 240 pounds, I knew I needed to start running again to lose some weight, but more importantly, to build my endurance back up. I bought other running shoes but none of them cushioned my fall so I limited myself to short runs. But when I tried these shoes on it was something different, they really cushioned my feet when I hit the streets and gave me the ability to walk on concrete again, which I don't think would ever happen again as no shoe could match that would withstand impact. put them on. I value my ankles, hips and especially my knees and don't want to hit them too hard so I can't walk, but I know I need to run again and these were shoes that cushioned my steps and made it possible to run again! Thank you Skechers Go Running, you made the best running shoes for men over 60 and 240 pounds! I love these things and will buy them again!
