Skechers created the GOrun Speed Freek to be a competitive marathon racer that has all the tools and technology in a lightweight and simple package. The midsole of the Speed Freek has more lightweight and energetic HyperBurst foam compared to other Skechers racing models like Speed Elite making this shoe more suitable for races like the marathon. After adding more foam, Skechers also widened the base of the Speed Freek by a few millimeters to give runners a more trustworthy and stable ride without sacrificing too much weight. The midsole is completed with HyperArc technology giving the Skechers Speed Freek the rocker geometry needed to enhance efficiency for runners on every stride.
The carbon-fiber plate technology in the forefoot of the GOrun Speed Freek has a unique winglet design that helps to stabilize runners and propel them forward. This plate technology is strategically crafted to have exposed winglets on the medial and lateral sides of the shoe that are stiffer and lighter than traditional carbon fiber plates making the Speed Freek brilliantly simple and propulsive. This plate shape also acts as stabilizing bumpers when taking corners at faster paces. The Skechers GoRun Speed Freek is finished off with a strategic Goodyear rubber outsole and a simple monomesh upper that is breathable, lightweight, and structured enough to feel fast on race day. Overall, the Skechers GOrun Speed Freek is a marathon racing shoe that provides an incredible cushioning to weight ratio with its simple and unique design.
