This thread may not be a joke after all. The Skechers people have been emailing us a lot recently as Meb's race last week was his first in their shoes. I saw this thread and reached out to their PR person and asked if it was true that Kara Goucher had signed with Skechers.



Their denial made me think it might actually be true as it said:

We can't reveal plans for new endorsements until they are 100% signed, but I’ll definitely keep you posted on SKECHERS news!

If there was no negotiation going on, wouldn't you just deny it totally?That denial to me would be consistent with Goucher having agreed in principal to a deal, told Alberto and is now working out the final details of the contract.Either that or the Skechers people are brilliant and smart enough to ride the free publicity while it lasts.But I'm leaning towards the first option.
