Skechers Go Run Persistence 2 Running Shoe, from $49 (was $115)
Why do we like this deal?
We think about different shoe brands serving different markets – Nike for funky sneakers, Cole Haan for dress shoes, the list goes on. But Skechers, once thought of as a shoemaker for older people, is now pushing to do more. It recently unveiled an entire collection of performance sneakers for athletes, and running is a big part of the equation. Thankfully, the other reason is affordability—one of the brand’s new running shoes is about 60% off.
The Skechers Go Run Persistence 2 running shoe is now on sale for as little as $49 at Nordstrom Rack, and they’re getting a lot of attention — as I’m writing about it, more than a dozen shoppers are eyeing the deal. Here, you can expect a few things, like comfort, high-quality foam, and good shock absorption, which are all hallmarks of Skechers sneakers. But these, being running shoes, have some Solid Surprise too.

What shoppers need to know
- available sizes: from 7 to 13
- Color Options: The 5 colorways currently have deals ranging from $49 to $70.
- Style: lace up
- Cushioning: Skechers Ultra Go
- Notable Features: Goodyear outsole, carbon-infused H plate midsole
One of the most interesting things about this shoe is the inclusion of a carbon-infused H plate in its midsole. We think of elite long-distance super shoes like the Hoka Cielo as home to interior plating, but a more modest daily runner like this Skechers shoe can also benefit from the added stability of the interior plate.
This time, the cushioning provided is the Skechers Ultra Go, a very familiar style that we’ve seen time and again on the brand’s sporty walking shoes. If you liked the Skechers Go Walk Flex, for just one example, you already know you’ll love jogging in the Go Run Persistence 2.
