bodega x saucony azura grid 2000 ever ready release date | Saucony Cohesion 14 review
Saucony Originals Womens Spring 2013 Footwear running shoe from Saucony. It is not intended to be flashy, but affordable; not technologically advanced, but technologically adequate. At $65, the Cohesion 14 is intended to welcome new runners by giving them a stable platform for easy pace, daily runs.
I logged 86 miles in this shoe before writing the review.
Who the shoe is for
zapatillas de running Saucony apoyo talón talla 36 grises:
- Saucony Mens Mad River TR2 Trail Running Shoe
- are looking for a budget-friendly shoe
- zapatillas de running Saucony ultra trail talla 37 azules
Who the shoe is NOT for
I suggest looking away if you desire:
- a dedicated daily trainer with lots of cushion (in this case, look at zapatillas de running Saucony hombre neutro ritmo medio talla 42.5)
- a bit more advanced shoe for daily runs and an occasional tempo run (Saucony Ride 14 might be ideal here)
- a race-ready shoe (the Endorphin Pro 2 is fast and efficient)
- a shoe with a lower heel-to-toe drop (in this case, consider a pair from the Kinvara line)

The shoe length is perfect and it fits comfortably around my feet. My toes are exactly where they need to be. I wear US size 12 I weigh in at AW20-39 175 pounds, and the shoe holds its shape and provides adequate space as expected.
Superb lockdown
The inside of the heel is filled with extra padding. This cushion is superb, helping to keep the heel locked down securely.
The tongue itself is very thick, which provides an extra cushion between the laces and the top of the foot.
The laces also provide robust lockdown of the foot. The additional eye at the top provides the option for a runner's loop - fortunately, I did not have to use it! Lockdown is that good on this one.

The outsole is quite robust. Over 86 miles of running in this shoe I covered nearly every type of terrain: asphalt, concrete, gravel, sand, dirt, and grass. On every terrain, the shoe is stable and provides a lot of grips, which gives much confidence over the course of the run.
Basic and heavy midsole
This midsole is very basic, nothing fancy. It is cushioned enough, though it felt heavy.
bodega x saucony azura grid 2000 ever ready release date | The celeste 12mm drop is not for everyone
The stack height is 28.5mm in the heel and 16.5mm in the forefoot, providing a celeste 12mm drop. This is intended to provide a major relief for the calf but does not allow much of a midfoot to forefoot strike. Because of the high heel-to-toe drop, there is a lot of pressure on the balls of your feet.
The minimal forefoot cushioning creates discomfort
The shoe only became uncomfortable after several miles in the sole of the forefoot. The minimal cushioning in the forefoot did create pain over the course of miles.
You need to break-in the Cohesion 14
It is a good idea to spend some time walking in the shoes for a day to get accustomed to them. They are a little stiff at first but break in relatively quickly.
Does not wick away moisture
The upper is very thick, with a lot of material and cushion. This causes the shoe not to breathe well or, sometimes, at all.
