The Aero Burst is the biggest shoe in Skechers' running line and the one the brand points distance runners at. A 42 mm heel of dual-density Hyper Burst Ice sits under a carbon-infused forefoot plate, and the 6 mm drop keeps the landing familiar. It is built for easy miles and the long run, where staying comfortable at hour two matters more than the pace on your watch.
It suits you if you finish long runs sore and want something that takes the edge off. The rockered midsole and the Arch Fit insole do most of the work; you keep turning over.
It is not fast. At 309 grams it is one of the heaviest trainers you can buy, and the plate does not change that. Keep something lighter for the quick days.
