2013 Holiday Gift Guide

Whenever I want to get in a good work out or relieve some stress, I go running. Running is a fantastic way to stay in shape and wearing the right shoes can make all the difference in your run. SKORA makes great shoes for running and the FORM shoes are some of my favorites.

Skora reallys knows what they’re doing with their Form shoes. The upper part of the shoes are made of Pittards Armor-Tan Goatskin leather and have a leather lining. The lacing on the Form shoes is asymmetrical with no tongue saving you time and that pesky feeling when you’re halfway into your run that the tongue of your shoe is going astray.

The goatskin leather of these shoes has an Armor-Tan treatment that uses small ceramic coatings on the leather so it is more durable over time and wears less easy than other shoes and other leathers that are used. It is water resistant so you know you’re not going to get sloshy feet while running in the rain.

The sole of the shoes are made to mirror the natural shape of your foot. This helps when it comes to getting the best out of your run. It allows for much more movement that flows with each stride. There is also a removable insole so you can get just the right feel.

One of the best parts of these shoes is that they come with an adjustable heel strap that allows for you to make sure your shoes fit you perfectly. I know that sometimes my feet swell, so I can give a little on the heel strap and my Form’s still fit amazingly. There is also an anti-slip heelpad which is great for running in the rain.

Skora built these shoes using their R01 platform. This means that there is a “moderate amount of cushioning with excellent grip and great groundfeel.” What does that mean to you? Excellent shoes. Hands down. I wear them every time I run and they are outstanding shoes. With a built in reflective feature, I also know that Skora has safety in mind which lets me know they care about their product and their customer.

You can find these shoes on Skora’s website and there are five color combinations to choose from. You can also check their website to see if there is a local retailer near you. Sizes run from Women’s 5-11.
