Saucony Men's Ride 14 Running Shoe

Product Information

But, if you’re a fan of the Guide line, you’ll get the same reliable stability. Flat- feeling transition, but oh, the upper feels so cozy, even miles into the run. The joy of the Ride 14 is that on day one it feels good on your feet. The upper hugs your foot well and the midsole isn’t harsh or unstable. Whether it’s day one or day 100, the Ride 14 is going to feel the same and that’s its key strength. The weight is not noticed For a neutral shoe, the Saucony Ride really impressed us with its steady platform. We believe that it comes from the combination of the midsole shape, the foam firmness, and the fact that our heels sit deeper inside the shoe. Saucony’s PWRRUN midsole is the same cushion used in the lightweight Kinvara 12 and stable Guide 14, where it’s proven to be lightweight and springy. It’s no different in the Ride, reviewers say. One of the hallmarks of the Ride line is a lightweight feel, and the Ride 14 delivers on that, too. Saucony lists the men’s model at 9.4 oz and the women’s at 8.4 oz, depending on the size.

At 10.15 ounces (286g) the Saucony Ride 14, is no lightweight, but it doesn’t weigh your feet or legs down. Fit: A- (Really comfortable and padded upper that is still lightweight, mild creasing in tongue as it transitions into toebox) Performance: A- (Great at easy paces, daily paces, soft and flexible ride is nice, the shoe could do a little better at uptempo however)

The flex grooves carved into the outsole let it bend easily as your foot moves from landing to takeoff, which promotes smooth transitions. You’ll see a difference between the Ride 13 and Ride 14 when you compare them side by side. Reviewers unanimously appreciated the speedier look and low-profile silhouette, and the new colors stand out. New Balance’s 860 is also a comparable shoe, with a 10 mm. drop and similar weight, in the half-size larger 860 that my foot needs. The feathery feel complements the moderately firm cushioning for a ride that can handle any type of run.

DPT/Footwear Science: B+ (Great forefoot flexibility, nice naturally stable ride. Bevel could be a bit more aggressive) The Guide from Saucony has received high marks for consistently being a solid shoe in the brand’s stability lineup, as the mid-cushioned, firmer younger sister of the brand’s Hurricane which employs the softer PWRRUN+ midsole. This shoe is lighter than Gaviota, yet I rated the latter higher as it is a pointedly solid shoe with a stand-out midsole that is soft yet supportive. Saucony included a padded tongue to alleviate pressure on the top of your foot, and they sewed it into a partial bootie for a precise fit. The upper gives the Ride a comfortable fit and soft feel, one tester says.Visually, it looks bulky with its maxed-out cushion. But in hand and on foot, the Saucony Ride 15 is strikingly light.
