While the upper is not the best match for my personal taste, I really like the sole of the Strada. The feel is quite soft underfoot, particularly under the heel (this softness was even maintained in the cold temps of winter). I’d compare Nike Air Max 90 Womens Blue it to a shoe like the Nike Pegasus (more on this comparison below). I’ve done a lot of miles in these and they feel great out on the road. The Strada is not a speed shoe, but if you want a cushy ride to eat up long miles, this sole will do the job.One of the things I like about the sole of the Strada is that it is made of two pieces of foam that differ in durometer (hardness). The white foam visible in the photos here is a bit softer, and the dark foam extending from the outer heel, through the midfoot, and up under the Nike Air Max Thea Femme big toe is a bit firmer. I like having the slightly firmer foam under the medial forefoot and big toe as I tend to have a lot of late-stage pronation, and in some shoes I tend to cave this area in (e.g., in some versions of the Nike Pegasus). The Strada is not a stability shoe by any means though, think of it more as a Nike Air Max 2016 Donna soft neutral shoe that provides a bit of support for toe-off.
As mentioned above, the Strada does not have a rubber outsole. The darker portion of the midsole is a bit more abrasion resistant than the white foam, but you will see wear if you tend to scuff on the road (I see this with my stride). This is where I question the pricing of the shoe – $130 for a shoe intended for high-mileage on roads that has no rubber on the sole might be a problem, especially when a similarly positioned shoe like the Nike Pegasus 31 Nike Air Max 97 Dames retails for $100 and has an extensive rubber outsole (shoes like the Saucony Ride, Brooks Ghost, Asics Cumulus, and Mizuno Rider are also a bit cheaper). In Skechers’ defense, I will say that I asked them if they had received any negative feedback about sole durability and they indicated that it hasn’t been a problem.One common question I have seen is how the Strada differs from the GoRun Ride. You can basically think of the GoRun Ride as a cushier version of the standard GoRun that is still quite lightweight and has a minimally structured upper. The Strada is more of a performance neutral shoe with a more structured upper and a stiffer, more cushioned sole than the Ride.
Conclusion
If you like a soft riding shoe with a structured upper, the Skechers GoRun Strada might be a good option to try. On the plus side, I have enjoyed the Adidas Stan Smith Damen ride, and I like the dual-foam sole design on the Strada, particularly the use of a slightly firmer foam under the medial forefoot/big toe (rather than a traditional medial post under the heel and arch). I’d be interested to see this type of sole design applied to other shoes.
On the minus side, I prefer the more stripped down uppers of the GoRun and GoRun Ride lines, but it’s good to see Skechers diversifying their offerings to cater to a wider market of runners. My biggest negative for the Strada would be the $130 price tag – it’s a lot to pay when other shoes in the category can be had for less.
