The SYOK team recently had an exciting time testing out Skechers' new GOrun Outdoor Trail and Max Cushioning Collections at the Skechers GOrun Trail Workshop. Held at the scenic Taman Tugu Hike Trails last Thursday (12th December), we got the chance to put these innovative outdoor shoes to the test.
One standout for us was the Skechers Relaxed Fit: D’Lux Journey, a pair of hiking shoes that blend comfort with a sleek, stylish design. Who says you can’t look good while hiking? Skechers went the extra mile by equipping us with a full outdoor gear set, including performance clothing, a cap, socks, and even a handy waist pack.
Starting Strong with Comfort and Style
We arrived at the trail park bright and early at 8 AM, ready to conquer the day. After a light warm-up session with the coach, it was time to hit the trail. Right off the bat, the shoes impressed us with their excellent balance and cushioning, making even the warm-up exercises a breeze.
Special shoutout to the socks! They were just the right thickness—offering a snug, comfortable fit without feeling restrictive. They added an extra layer of cushioning, giving us the confidence that our feet were well-protected throughout the hike.
Tackling the Trail with Ease
The hike started with a series of steep stairs and rocky paths. Initially, we were a little apprehensive about the uneven terrain, but the shoes delivered on their promise of stability. Even when stepping on loose rocks, the design provided excellent ankle support, preventing any missteps or falls.
The real test came as we ventured through muddy paths, shallow water puddles, and even a bridge. Impressively, the shoes kept our feet dry and secure. The water-resistant feature was a game-changer, making sure we stayed comfortable despite the damp conditions.
The Verdict!
Though the hike was relatively short, it left a lasting impression. The Skechers shoes not only offered reliable protection and water resistance but also provided exceptional comfort throughout the trail. These features make them perfect for light outdoor activities and hiking.
Additionally, the performance clothes we tried out are now among our favourites for workouts. With trendy designs and high comfort levels, they’re perfect for both style and functionality.
