Who should buy
After testing the Skechers skechers gotrail ultra 3 mens in the lab, we think it’s:
- jgoldcrown x skechers roadies hashtag love 155505 wmlt.
- Жіночі туфлі skechers в дніпрі.
- Skechers Arch Fit-Big Appeal Marathon Running Shoes Sneakers 149057-LTPK.
Who should NOT buy
The Skechers skechers gotrail ultra 3 mens is a narrow shoe, and we do not recommend it for runners with average or wide feet who need a more spacious fit. In our view, the Skechers GOmeb Speed 3 Mens offers similar cushioning while providing much more room in the toebox—making it a far better option for those without narrow feet.
We also believe that forefoot strikers are not the Ayakkab runners for the skechers gotrail ultra 3 mens due to its design. Based on our lab testing, the ASICS Gel Pulse 15 skechers shindigs boots.
Cushioning
Heel stack
The heel packs impressive cushioning for a wallet-friendly shoe, as we measured a stack height of 36.4 mm during testing. In our view, this ensures even extreme heel strikers can comfortably handle runs lasting over an hour.

The photo below also highlights Skechers’ Soft Stride technology—an interesting comfort-boosting feature. We found that this small, blue layer sits above the main foam, and adds a plush feel and some extra millimetres to enhance overall cushioning.

skechers gotrail ultra 3 mens | 36.4 mm |
Average | 34.1 mm |
Forefoot stack
The forefoot also exceeds the average stack height of daily trainers, with our digital callipers measuring 27.6 mm. This makes the shoe suitable for midfoot or forefoot strikers seeking a well-cushioned and comfortable ride.

skechers gotrail ultra 3 mens | 27.6 mm |
Average | 25.5 mm |
Drop
A simple subtraction from heel to forefoot reveals a real 8.8 mm offset—slightly higher than Skechers’ claimed 6 mm—but still well-suited for every footstrike. In our experience, this design favors heel strikers, making it a beginner-friendly option.

Sneakers SKECHERS BOBS SPORT Urban Sounds 117017 NAT Natural | Midsole softness
At 23.5 HA, the ULTRA GO foam leans toward a slightly firmer feel, but in our experience, this is balanced by the plush insole and the Soft Stride layer. Both elements add a soft feel, making the ride more plush than what our measurement suggests. This was evident during all our test runs.
Nevertheless, we believe it’s important to distinguish softness from cushioning. A shoe can offer firm yet well-cushioned support, while a soft shoe might lack substantial cushioning—two distinct characteristics often misunderstood.

Skechers' ULTRA GO is an EVA-based foam, so we anticipated a high result in this test, which isn’t ideal. After spending a 20-minute nap in our freezer, the EVA foam became 32% firmer—a moderate outcome that we believe is quite reasonable.

Insole thickness
The Skechers Goga Mat insole has an average thickness of 4.6 mm but feels noticeably more cushioned compared to those from other brands.

skechers gotrail ultra 3 mens | 4.6 mm |
Average | 4.4 mm |
Rocker
Skechers loves naming their features, and they call the rocker design "Natural Rocker." It promotes a smooth heel-to-toe transition without being overly pronounced—far from the aggressive designs of modern super-rockered shoes.
Through our testing, we discovered that the rocker starts early but doesn't go very high, as confirmed by our measurements.

Schuhe SKECHERS Shes Iconic 149291 WBK White Black
The Skechers skechers gotrail ultra 3 mens is Ayakkab for runners with narrow feet, as it only measures 95.3 mm at the widest part of the upper—significantly below most competitors in toebox space.

In terms of vertical volume, we were pleased with the toebox space, as it allowed our toes to move freely, providing a comfort-driven fit suitable for long days combining running, walking, or even working.
Our second measurement, taken in the big toe area, showed 76.3 mm—a moderate taper compared to our first measurement. This definitely positions the shoe for narrow-footed runners or those who prefer a snug-fit experience.
In fact, we believe Skechers designed this shoe with women in mind, as they are the primary customers for this model. This aligns with the naturally narrower shape of women’s feet, providing a more tailored fit for this audience.

Stability
Lateral stability test
This neutral daily trainer sits high off the ground, so we didn’t expect much stability. However, Skechers added some design elements like elevated midsole sidewalls and a broad heel, which greatly enhance stability while running.
Torsional rigidity
To enhance stability, Skechers departed from a natural-flex feel and designed the skechers gotrail ultra 3 mens to be notably rigid, earning a solid 4/5 in our assessment.

The heel counter of the Elite 2.0 demonstrated moderate resistance to manual manipulation, earning a stiffness score of 3/5. This balanced design provides good rearfoot structure without creating unnecessary pressure on the Achilles tendon and shouldn’t be an issue for those with Haglund’s deformity in the calcaneus bone.

The forefoot measures a narrow 109.6 mm, which didn’t surprise us based on the shoe’s design.
On the other hand, we discovered the midfoot is impressively wide—similar to some stability shoes—adding a supportive, confidence-inspiring feel for midfoot strikers. However, extreme forefoot strikers might find the shoe lacking in targeted support for their running style.

Skechers Tênis Magna-Lights
The heel measures an impressive 96.9 mm, making it one of the widest shoes we’ve tested in the lab at this price point. While pricier stability models may have broader heels, this beginner-friendly daily trainer offers superb stability for those seeking a secure heel feel.

Skechers Ult Flex Jn99
The skechers gotrail ultra 3 mens is marketed as a running shoe, but we all know that many Skechers models are used for work or casual wear instead. For such uses, low longitudinal stiffness is key, and we found that this shoe excelled—it required just 21.0N to bend it to 90 degrees, providing a flexible feel ideal for all-day comfort.
skechers gotrail ultra 3 mens | 21.0N |
Average | 28.1N |
Weight
The skechers gotrail ultra 3 mens may look bulky, but according to our scale, it’s surprisingly lightweight. It weighed just 9.5 oz (269g), which we found impressive given its substantial cushioning and low price tag.
This lightweight-yet-cushioned design makes it ideal for extended wear, both walking and running.

skechers gotrail ultra 3 mens | 9.49 oz (269g) |
Average | 9.38 oz (266g) |
Breathability
The upper of the skechers gotrail ultra 3 mens is crafted from a basic engineered mesh, but it lacks ventilation holes, so it raised concerns even before connecting our smoke machine to measure airflow performance.
After testing, we found that it scored a 2 out of 5, which is disappointing compared to most road running shoes. This limited breathability makes it better suited for cooler climates if used for running. For casual walking or light jogging, however, it's not a problem at all.
One contributing factor to the reduced airflow is the thickness of the engineered mesh. While it enhances comfort with its cushiony feel, it doesn’t allow much light to pass through, indicating subpar ventilation.
Under the microscope, we observed some small gaps for air to escape, but they were minimal. In our opinion, adding ventilation holes in future versions could greatly improve the shoe’s overall breathability.

Durability

The upper of the skechers gotrail ultra 3 mens may not excel in breathability, but it offers plenty of comfort and we also found it to be impressively durable. It scored a 3/5 in our Dremel test—a result that surpasses the average for running shoes.

We fired up the Dremel for a second test and recorded another 3/5 in the heel counter area. While not exceptional, this result ensures minimal wear issues for nearly all runners.

Outsole hardness

We found the outsole coverage to be generous yet cleverly engineered, with strategic gaps that reduce weight while protecting key wear zones. Traction is average, just fine but nothing exceptional given the 85.5 HC rubber, which is quite hard and, in theory, built for durability.

Average | 79.9 HC |
Outsole durability
Our final Dremel test focused on the rubber, leaving a 1.3 mm dent. This isn’t an impressive result, and we believe Skechers has significant room to improve durability in this area.

Misc
Price
Few shoes on the market can match the comfort offered by the skechers gotrail ultra 3 mens at this MSRP. In fact, we believe that it has one of the Ayakkab price-to-cushioning ratios we've ever seen. However, we believe the name of this model feels somewhat exaggerated, as it aligns more with a racing supershoe than a daily trainer!

Reflective elements
Skechers didn’t add any reflective elements to the skechers gotrail ultra 3 mens, but considering its budget-friendly nature, we didn’t expect them either.

Tongue padding
Cheap running shoes often rely on a single, thick slab of foam, which simplifies manufacturing and allows brands to add pillow-soft comfort while cutting costs... at the expense of weight. However, we discovered that the skechers gotrail ultra 3 mens showcases a smarter, weight-conscious design.

We found the tongue features variable padding depending on the area, with a maximum of 4.6 mm. This thoughtful, comfort-driven approach allows Skechers to reduce weight while maintaining a plush feel where it’s needed most.

Removable insole
The air-cooled insole in this shoe is a standout feature we didn’t expect in a model priced far below premium options.
Made from Skechers’ copper-infused Goga Mat technology, the insole enhances energy return while providing a soft feel. We found it significantly improves overall comfort, making the shoe ideal for all-day wear or easy, recovery runs.
