For runners who log heavy usage, finding the right pair of trainers is essential to not only improve your performance, but to keep you comfortable as you constantly hit the pavement. Fortunately, Skechers have the solution with their line of GOrun shoes designed for both men and women to make sure your feet never stop moving.

The GOrun Ride 5 for women features the latest technology for elevated running. The 3D printed overlays, combined with synthetic and mesh fabric, form a breathable upper that feels almost nonexistent.

The outsole, meanwhile, has GOimpulse sensors that allow for a smooth transition and a seamless running motion. One of the more appealing aspects of this trainer is the removable insole, which means you can customise your fit, as well as its weightlessness, coming in at about 6.4 ounces for a women’s size 7.

The GOrun 4 for men, on the other hand, brings its own benefits to the table. A soft, sock-like GO knit upper and the 5Gen cushioning makes this shoe not only ultra responsive, but ultra light as a men’s size 9 weights about 7.8 ounces.

While the GOrun 5 runs slightly narrower, the GOrun 4 has ample space for a roomy forefoot, while still offering plenty of support with the one-piece upper and the Resalyte Midsole and Power Pillar.

As far as aesthetics go, both the GOrun 5 and the GOrun 4 bring modern style and come in a variety of colourways. The Skechers’ ‘S’ on the side has also never looked cooler.

It’s no wonder then that the GOrun 4 was the recipient of the Editor’s Choice award from Runner’s World.

WE RATE IT: 9 out of 10: Responsive and comfy shoes that we would feel just fine wearing for a long, long time.

PRICE: Dh375 for the GOrun 4 and Dh395 for the GOrun 5

3M Futuro Sport Custom Dial Supports

If you’ve ever played sports, there’s a good chance you’ve experienced some form of tennis/golfer’s elbow. 3M Futuro have found a way to combat the common injury through their custom dial technology, which can support, heal and prevent re-injury from occurring.

Using the custom dial strap, you can put pressure on the affected tendon to provide firmer support without compromising comfort or range of motion. There’s also a product that similarly helps knees, as well as one for wrists.
