Discovering the Outdoors with Skechers: My Skechers GOrun Trail Workshop Experience

About two weeks before the Skechers GOrun Trail Workshop at Taman Tugu Kuala Lumpur, I received an exciting invitation. Not only was I invited to participate in this adventure-packed event, but I also had the opportunity to choose a pair of Skechers trail shoes from their new Skechers GOrun Outdoor Trail collection.

My pick - Skechers Relaxed Fit®: D'Lux Journey in Black/ Yellow

I headed over to the Skechers in Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, feeling a bit like a kid in a candy store. The selection was awesome! I was seriously tempted by the Skechers GOrun® Trail Altitude 2.0 and the Max Cushioning Premier Trail 2.0. They looked super tough and ready to conquer any mountain.

But then, I spotted them – the sleek and stylish Skechers Relaxed Fit®: D'Lux Journey. And guess what? They're the favorite of Cha Eun-woo, the Skechers regional ambassador. (Okay, maybe that influenced my decision slightly. Who am I kidding?) They looked so comfortable and stylish, I just knew they were the ones for me.

Fast forward to the workshop, and I'm at Taman Tugu Kuala Lumpur, feeling a little nervous but mostly excited. The morning air was crisp, and I was ready to embrace the trail. The workshop started with a lively warm-up session, and I tried my best to keep up with the energy.

Coach Lewis, our trail-running guru, then led us on a scenic hike through the lush greenery. I was a bit worried I'd trip and fall flat on my face, but thankfully, my trusty Skechers kept me steady on my feet. I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable they were, even on uneven terrain.

But the workshop wasn't just about the shoes. It was a great chance to meet other outdoor enthusiasts, share some trail stories (and maybe a few embarrassing tripping moments), and learn from Coach Lewis, who was an absolute wealth of knowledge.

Overall, the Skechers GOrun Trail Workshop was an incredible experience. It was a day of adventure, learning, and pure enjoyment.
