5 Reasons to Skip the Skechers Gorun Trail Altitude for Real Hiking

  1. Shallow tread The tread is too shallow for loose dirt or gravel, so the shoe slips on anything beyond a paved path.

  2. Poor support on uneven terrain The shoe lacks the stability needed for rocky or uneven ground, making it uncomfortable and unsafe on real trails.

  3. Low durability After one moderately rocky hike, the sole showed visible wear, which means these won’t hold up to regular trail use.

  4. Fine only for casual use These shoes work for playgrounds, paved paths, or the park, but they are not designed for actual hiking.

  5. Better options exist For the same price, you can get shoes with real grip and durability, so save your money for something that performs on trails.
