SKORA builds each shoe on their custom R01 platform, including the anatomically correct REALFIT(TM) last. Designed to fit like a 'second skin', the R01 mimics each of the foot's many contours as it moves, and encourages you to "Run Real"?.

SKORA shoes are engineered to allow for natural movement. The design features distinctive details like asymmetrical lacing, stitch-down construction, a curved outsole heel and forefoot, unique concave forefoot profile, no heel counter and an elastic heel strap, all of which allows for an optimum, personal fit and maximum comfort and performance.

"SKORA was founded with a true passion for running and a commitment to excellence in product and performance. The BASE and FORM truly are the best running shoes ever, and after 4 years in development we're so excited to finally be sharing them with our customers," said David Sypniewski, Founder and CEO of SKORA Running.

FORM ($195) is a full leather performance running shoe with optimal fit and maximum running function. Pittards®Armor-Tan® Goatskin leather and WR100X® Sheepskin leather lining promote breathability and durability.

With asymmetrical lacing, and secure, wrap-around tongue construction, the FORM wears like a second skin. Available in black and natural, men's size 8-12.
