Skechers has long been synonymous with comfort, and with the Slip-ins: GOrun Arch Fit 2.0, the brand takes that reputation a step further by fusing convenience with performance. 

We were recently handed a pair in White Black, and right out of the box, it’s clear why Skechers has earned its reputation for comfort. Designed for short runs and daily walks, the GOrun Arch Fit 2.0 aims to deliver an effortless experience without compromising the essentials that matter to runners.

First impressions

The first thing you notice is the hands-free design. Skechers’ Slip-ins® technology means you can slide your foot in without bending down or fiddling with laces, a small detail that makes a big difference for those who value speed and ease. 

The addition of the Heel Pillow® ensures that this convenience doesn’t come at the cost of security. Once your foot is in, the heel feels locked in place, giving you confidence that the shoe won’t slip during movement.

Comfort & support

Comfort is where Skechers truly shines, and the GOrun Arch Fit 2.0 is no exception. The Arch Fit® insole system, developed from 20 years of research and over 120,000 foot scans, provides podiatrist-certified arch support. 

For runners with flat feet or those who need extra stability, this feature is a game-changer. The cushioning feels light yet responsive, striking a balance between softness and agility. It’s not overly plush, which means you still get a sense of ground contact, ideal for short runs and brisk walks.

Performance on the move

While these shoes aren’t built for marathons, they excel in everyday scenarios. The M-Strike® midsole encourages a smooth heel-to-toe transition, making your stride feel natural and efficient. 

On the road, the shoe feels stable and lightweight, which is crucial for maintaining rhythm during a short run. The grip is reliable, and the overall structure supports quick movements without feeling restrictive.

Style & practicality

Beyond performance, Skechers has ensured the GOrun Arch Fit 2.0 looks good enough to wear beyond the track. The colourways, ranging from versatile greys and charcoals to bold navy and yellow accents, offer options for both minimalists and those who like a pop of color. 

We received the White/Black colourway which is versatile enough to pair with almost anything, athletic gear, casual outfits, even smart-casual looks if you’re going for that sporty vibe.

Practicality is another strong point as the shoes are machine washable, so keeping them fresh is effortless, and they’re made with vegan-friendly materials, appealing to eco-conscious buyers.

Our verdict

At RM459, the Skechers Slip-ins: GOrun Arch Fit 2.0 delivers a compelling mix of convenience, comfort, and style for short-distance runners and walkers. 

If you’re someone who values hands-free wear, reliable arch support, and a shoe that transitions seamlessly from the gym to casual outings, this collection deserves serious consideration. It’s not a performance powerhouse for long-distance athletes, but for everyday runners and fitness enthusiasts, it’s a near-perfect fit.

The Skechers Slip-ins: GOrun Arch Fit 2.0 Collection is now available at selected Skechers stores, including Pavilion Bukit Jalil, Pavilion Damansara Heights, Pavilion KL, Suria KLCC, The Exchange TRX Mall, 1 Utama Shopping Centre, and more nationwide.

The collection is also available online.
