Chunky sneakers have become a global phenomenon, captivating fashion lovers and fitness enthusiasts alike. These sneakers, with their distinctive bulky sole, offer bold style while also functional benefits such as increased cushioning, stability and support for high-impact activities.
What initially seemed like an aesthetic whim, and began on the feet of celebrities as a mere functional element, has been transformed into a practical and versatile design, ideal for both the catwalk and the asphalt. Inspired by this trend popularized by brands such as Hoka and On, Skechers has taken a firm step towards the future of footwear with its new ‘GO RUN’ collection. Staying true to its reputation for affordability and comfort, the brand has added a touch of elegance to its offering, proving that you don’t have to sacrifice style for functionality.

Skechers surprises with the addition of its ‘GO RUN’ series to the competitive chunky sneaker market. This new collection fuses the characteristics that have made the brand famous – such as its incomparable comfort and affordable prices – with designs that stand out for their universal appeal.
