Skechers' first super shoe arrives with a price to match: $225. HYPER BURST PRO foam, a responsive and ultra-lightweight Super Critical cushioning, sits over a full-length, carbon-infused Quantum Plate designed to drive you forward. A 40 mm stack and a 4 mm drop come in at just 167 g, which is the whole case for the Aero Elite.
It suits you on race day over the marathon or the half, when you want the plate and the light foam working together and have the pace to use them.
It is not a daily trainer. A plate that wants speed is wasted on easy runs, and it makes poor value for recovery days. Keep it for races and a handful of key workouts.
