Find Best Price For FMS High Top Skate Black Reflective
I've been studying Skechers GO series shoes (and a whole bunch of other shoes) as part of an effort to find the perfect athletic shoe to deal with a Morton's neuroma in my left foot, improve my gait, and strengthen my feet after years of wearing overly cushioned and supported shoes. In this quest, I've tried the Ride Ultras and the Bionics, which I've reviewed (highly) elsewhere. All of these shoes are very roomy in the toebox and nearly flat in heel-to-toe drop (about 4 mm., or 5/32 in.). The Train is my favorite all-purpose, all-around shoe in the GO line for athletic and casual wear. It's just about perfect for me.
As I noted above, the Train is roomy and flat, and is also super light weight. The insole isn't removable, but it's not particularly cushy either--it's perfect for me. And because it's built in, down and into the shoe, it takes up less room than a removable one. The tongue has more padding than the Bionics (which really don't have any), but is still quite thin. I'm very sensitive to hot spots on the top of my foot from laces, and these haven't given me any. The outsole has the familiar circular GO impulse sensors as the Rides and Runs, with a few hard ones interspersed on the periphery to provide feedback, but they're shorter on these. As a result, these are less cushioned than the Rides and Runs, but more cushioned than the Bionics. So this shoe is moderately minimal--just perfect for me and probably also for much of the exercising public.
The one feature that may be controversial to some are the nubs/sensors that extend several millimeters outside the boundary of the sole on the outside edges of the shoe from the midfoot to the forefoot, giving the shoe a broad footprint. To me, these nubs provide excellent lateral stability for side to side cutting, but I guess some people might be annoyed by them when running forward if they interfere with the way their foot rolls. I like them because I tend to over-supinate, and these provide some subtle support to prevent that.
The Train is not intended to be a running shoe for long distances, though I wouldn't hesitate to run for an hour in them. As the name implies, this is a (cross) training, general purpose athletic shoe, with all of the minor compromises that entails. I think it's excellent for cross-training purposes--the best I've found. Perhaps best of all, the cost is incredibly reasonable. I now have three pairs of GO shoes and have spent around $130 total--about the same as a single pair of supposedly high-end shoes. I don't think there's a better value out there.

These shoes fit perfectly. My boyfriend LOVED getting them for his birthday. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a great pair of shoes for a good price.
Great shoe, great price. They fit me fine I wear a nike 12 these fit great!! Great box it comes with an og boom box shoe box!! Price so good just ordered a second pair different color! Ooo weee, I feel country fresh!!!
Got this after following the recommendation from my girlfriend, and she was right these protect the feet more than a pair of military boots (which are my favorite type of shoe) and far more comfortable.
Please notice that I am not using these for skating, though all of the elements required to do so are met by these. High quality materials, the sole feels sticky for every step you take.
Looking forward to get another pair of these.
I got these for my husband. Fit him great and he loved them. Very comfortable shoes and they look nice too! Would recommend them to anyone :)
I was wanting high tops, but didn't want to pay eighty dollars for some. I looked on Amazon and saw these. I ordered them and got them earlier than expected! (Like way earlier) I was so excited! They look best with shorts and skinny jeans. I highly recommend these shoes!
the overall quality of the shoe i loved. the only problem is that i usually get a size 6.5 in all my shoes because it gives me a little extra room. When ordering these shoes in a 6.5 i tried them on and they fit somewhat snug. So, i would have felt better with a 7 but im still happy with the 6.5. I do recommend that you order your shoes a size bigger than what you normally wear.
the size was true, and it looks fashion. my husband loves these shoes. but these shoes is A little bit heavy.
Wow, I love the sneakers, will get one soonest. I think great shoe and great price.
Thanks for the information.

I love these high tops, but I had to buy replacements and send these back (pain). They run a full size small, but other than that I really like the look and color--very dark blue. Didn't have to break them in, they feel fine. They cost a little more than I wanted to pay, but I'm glad to own them, well made, too!
