Who it's for
Reach for the Skechers Aero Burst 2 for everyday training miles, long runs and easy recovery days. It's a neutral shoe, best for runners with an efficient stride who don't need pronation support. The tall, soft stack favors comfort over ground feel — great for high mileage and bigger runners, less so for racing snappiness.
