But I put it down to over eagerness to test the shoe and the fact that I ran in blistering evening weather and with a pair of black socks to boot. I could relatively feel the difference in temperature compared to the GOrun. The only problem I initially had with the shoe was on my first run, it got a little hot on the feet and I don't mean that in the sexy kinda way. I must say that I'm actually loving the shoe! Finished the run with legs that were still pretty fresh. The plush, cushioned feel was a welcome relief when you get tired and decide to stomp your feet cos it absorbed the impact of 'lazy feet' nicely. I didn't notice or encounter any issues with it and was running comfortably throughout. The cushioning for a shoe this light was pretty amazing! Took it slow and easy to really get a feel for the shoe. It was very easy on the feet with the added cushioning. LOL! Upon hitting the roads, the plush, cushioned feel came into play immediately. My shoe arrived two days later and I took it for a test run the moment I got home.

While she loved the shoe and found it perfect for her, she just couldn't take the blistering issues. To say she was disappointed was putting it mildly. Once again, she recorded faster times until the blisters cropped up. But after adjusting the insole and changing her socks to a pair of Injinji's for the next run she still developed blisters on the same spot.

She thought it was the insole problem cos I messed with it the day before and didn't really put it back properly which she said made the shoe feel lopsided. The only thing that spoiled it for her was the blister that cropped up and ruined her run. In fact, with the GOrun Ride, she even recorded faster running times and was pretty ecstatic about it. She didn't feel the pounding of the road unlike the GOrun. She loved the cushioning of the shoes and said it felt like walking on marshmallows (her own exact words). Since the wife had her shoe two days earlier than me, she gleefully took it for a spin. The five pods in the centre are linked together and was branded 'Mickey Mouse' by the wife. The extremely durable and harder GOimpulse pods are also basically located in the same locations with the exception of an additional two nearer the front and one at the toe, which I thought was a good idea based on the wear of my older GOrun which didn't have one. It worked pretty well too with only two or three pebbles getting caught in my outsoles the entire times I've been running with the shoe. The outsole still consists of the same independent circular sensors of its predecessor albeit with the sensors spaced out a lot more to minimize pebbles getting caught in between which was an issue with the original GOrun. Though it's a little heavier than the GOrun, the weight difference was hardly noticeable. I'm so used to the GOrun and it's more minimalist feel that the lack of ground feel was pretty obvious to me. The first was the very noticeably less 'bump' in the arch that was very prominent in the original GOrun. There are two things that I first noticed immediately about the shoe. The main difference of the GOrun Ride is that it basically has more cushioning than the original GOrun.

The GOrun (top) & the GOrun Ride (bottom) The Resalyte outsole albeit with some difference in technology is still there though the GOrun looks slightly sleeker. It still has the nice soft breathable upper mesh of its predecessor and is just as flexible. In fact, aside from the slight variation in design motifs on the sides of the shoe, you wouldn't even know it was a shoe with entirely different characteristics.
