There was a thread just the other day about Skora sneakers.

I was running in their footwear before I worked for the brand, so hopefully that tells you how much I’ve enjoyed the shoes. Let me know if you have any specific questions on any of the models 
Good enough…thru my little research yesterday I end up in your personal blog!
Thanks so much!
Ha, nice
Here if you need anything!
I’d like to give a major thumbs up to the Skora customer service. I’ve been wearing a pair of Skora Fits for 200 miles or so and while the tread still looked great, the stitching in the upper around the ankle developd a tear. I sent a picture to the company so they could see it wasn’t a rip or cut. In response they are replacing the pair for me at no cost.
Love the shoe. It took a few runs to get used to it compared to previous shoes but they have become a steady part of my rotation. Even used them on a few trails.
Great customer service; however, I’ve had problems with blisters on almost every run I’ve used them. ~50 miles of tempo/easy. I even raced a 5k with them. If they fit my feet, I would like them a lot more, but they just don’t agree with my foot shape.
I have a pair of Skora Cit and Skora Core.
The Fit works best for me and is my daily runner. It has a sock like fit which was initially a little weird but I quickly got used to it and it keeps my foot from sliding around. The sole has enough cushion and is really durable. My only complaint about the fit model is that the uppers can get a little squishy during a race if I happen to dump some water on my head, or if it is raining.
I love the core model as well, but it doesn’t hug my foot and have that sock like feel that the fit has. This causes me to start getting blisters on distances over 4 miles, and I can’t seem to remedy it by tying the laces tighter. The sole is also thinner on the core which gives it better ground feel, but I’m also not sure I’d personally want to wear them for longer distances. I actually now just wear the core as my daily shoe for walking around and occasionally use them on shorter runs. They are really nice shoes.
I’m tempted to try a pair of the Skora Form. The look like they have a bit more cushion than the Core, and have the nice leather uppers. I’m guessing I might have the same problem as the Core though if they fit a little loose. Anyone tried these to compare with the other models?

Core is definitely our widest model, so people with wider feet often get suggested that option to try. You’re right on with your description of Fit being a more sock-like feeling.
As for Form, it’s the model I’ve put the most miles on and I’d say it wears more like Fit, it’s definitely not as…flimsy of a shoe as Core. It is not quite as cushioned as Fit, but more than Core. My pair is just reaching 1100 miles.
FWIW, people sometimes to go down a half size in Core because it may have some extra room up front, however I wear the same size in all SKORA models. It may be that it’s simply a tiny bit too large for your feet in that size. You could try putting the Fit insole in? It’s a bit thicker, so may help tighten it up a bit. I’m not sure if anyone has ever done that before, just an idea. All our shoes are built on the same last and generally have the same shape and fit, however differences in upper material do change how they feel a bit here and there for various people.
