Stability and support

Stability running shoes provide structured support to ensure stability and control overpronation when running. Most of our AERO running shoes provide Arch Fit podiatrist-certified support, H-plate torsional stability and exceptional outsole grip thanks to Goodyear Performance Outsoles.
Made using the same technology found in Goodyear's Best All Weather Traction tyres, these outsoles feature soybean oil-based rubber to increase traction and durability across a broader range of temperatures. Expect excellent traction on most surfaces and conditions, and rubber designed for long-lasting wear.

Skechers Slip-ins running shoes

Running performance meets hands-free convenience with our Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins. Designed to make getting out the door easier, they combine easy-on, easy-off wear with support from our revolutionary Heel Pillow technology. Look out for our Slip-ins Spark and Slip-ins Burst models for the perfect solution to getting out there in a hurry.

How to choose

Choosing the best running shoes for you will depend on how you run. When choosing the perfect pair, consider what kind of training you’re planning to do, from speed running and long-distance runs to everyday walks and slower paces. AERO Burst offers elevated cushioning for longer runs, while Spark is a balanced option for daily mileage. Razor suits everyday runs and faster sessions and Tempo is designed for speed-focused training. For daily running with hands-free convenience, explore Pulse Slip-ins or the Slip-ins versions of Spark and Burst. For footwear primarily for slower-paced everyday walks, explore our walking shoes guide.

Skechers AERO SERIES FAQs

Find quick answers to the most common questions about our AERO running shoes, from carbon plates to choosing the right model for your training.


Yes, the AERO series has been specifically designed to enhance running performance. From carbon-plate running shoes that are great for long-distance running to comfortable slip-ins for everyday wear, Skechers are ideal for running.

Carbon plate running shoes are high-performance footwear featuring a stiff carbon-fibre plate within the sole construction. Compared to traditional running shoes, they help improve running speed with innovative technology.

Our Patented Carbon-Infused Plate has been engineered with an exceptionally high stiffness-to-weight ratio, acting as a spring, propelling you forward with explosive energy return at toe-off. Its unique winglet sidewalls provide targeted rigidity for that quick, powerful push, while the H-plate design also ensures essential stability and a balanced feel, allowing for confident, responsive landings on every run.

Within the AERO series, Burst, Spark and Tempo all feature carbon-infused H-plates. Razor uses a forefoot H-Wing design, while Pulse Slip-ins focuses on cushioned daily running and hands-free convenience. Our first super shoe, AERO Elite, uses a full-length carbon-infused Quantum Plate with a curved, spoon-shaped design to drive the foot forward with increased energy return.

While carbon-plate running shoes can sometimes be seen as footwear only for experienced runners, our everyday-to-fast-day AERO series is also suitable for beginners. Our carbon plates add a spring to your step, helping you to pick up the pace when you need it.

Carbon plates work with a shoe’s cushioning and geometry to support a responsive transition through each stride. For longer training runs, AERO Burst combines a forefoot carbon-infused H-plate with Hyper Burst Ice dual-density cushioning. Comfort and fit remain important when choosing a shoe for marathon training. Explore the Skechers AERO Series today to compare styles.

Rocker bottom shoes have a thick, curved sole which rounds at the heel and/or the toe to aid forward motion. Rocker sole shoes replace flat-footed strides with smooth, rocking motions that propel the wearer.

Skechers Hyper Arc Technology goes one step further, promoting a smoother transition from landing to toe-off, adapting to your stride for a quicker turnover and a more efficient run.
