Details & care
Elevated cushioning and embedded stabilization keep every stride comfortably aligned in a running shoe that doubles as an everyday street sneaker or performance gym shoe.
Perfect for: Everyday runners looking for superior cushioning and a gently stabilizing ride for all-distance running, circuit training and walkabout comfort.
Upper: Engineered mesh provides breathable flexibility that moves comfortably with your foot. Updated heel collar offers a plush, locked-in feel. PWRRUN+ insole provides superior cushioning with minimal added weight. FORMFIT footbed gently stabilizes every stride.

Saucony
It's the shoe brand that's easy to wear but tricky to say. Saucony, pronounced SOCK-uh-nee, has been running strong since 1898, when four young businessmen opened a shoe manufacturing company in a two-story brick factory on Saucony Creek in Kutztown, Pennsylvania. Today, as always, the brand's shoes are synonymous with innovation, comfort, quality construction and style.

Fantastic Daily Runner - Comfort, Stable, Aware
My Ride 18s have been a fantastic pair of runners. I’ve had them for just shy of a month and have logged a modest 30km on them ranging from longer duration zone 2, to tempo, and Vo2 max runs. They’ve been great throughout all of those runs. I’m 35, 215lbs, have a history of low back injuries, and used to run in minimal-style shoes. The cushion of the Ride 18 is comfortable without detracting from my underfoot awareness, and the stability is great. These shoes are very accommodating for a mid-foot to toe strike running style and would likely do well for heel strikers too. The toe box is a bit narrower than some of the brands known for high-cushioning but I haven’t found an issue with my wider than normal foot. The fit is a bit longer with my size 10 being about 1/2” longer than other brands in the same size, this isn’t a deal breaker but something to be aware of if you plan on taking these into some semi-technical terrain (even though they aren’t meant for that).

My favourite shoe for long and medium runs
Better than last years model this shoe is light and comfy. The price tag is steep but on sale it is well worth it.

A perfect fit for daily running
The Ride 18 is the perfect everyday running shoe. I use them for my recovery and long runs. Always comfortable and long lasting, and can pick up the pace nicely when needed.
