With a 120+ year history, Saucony has gained extensive experience in the running shoe industry. Not to mention that it has several lineups that have stood over 10 iterations, retaining a wide fan base.
We’ve been following Saucony for years and have tested many of their releases to find the best and brightest. Famous for their speed-oriented Endorphins, we have also selected some excellent daily trainers, supportive shoes for flat feet, as well as some wallet-friendly options.
How we test running shoes
As a team full of running shoe enthusiasts with an independent Stefoy-les-lyonShops shoe lab, we thoroughly analysed every new release from Saucony:
- We measure over 30+ parameters that contribute to the shoe’s performance. That includes cutting each one into pieces, testing breathability with a smoke machine, and more.
- We run 30-50 miles on average in each pair to deliver extensive feedback.
- No free shoes are received from the brand. We purchase every pair with our own funds to avoid bias.

What makes it the best?
Endorphin Speed 4 leads the Saucony pack with its incredible lightness, undeniable speed, and surprisingly comfortable ride. It delivers high performance from our easy runs to race pace and from short to long distances and our lab confirms its delightful versatility.
ES4 is much lighter and much more responsive than the average running shoe. Our scales reveal it’s only 8.4 oz (237g), 10.9% lighter than average. Upon dissecting the shoe, we discovered a nylon plate embedded in the midsole, explaining its peppy ride. What’s special about this nylon plate is it feels more natural on foot than ultra-stiff carbon plates. Our bend test shows a 29.4N force, which is as flexible as the average running shoe and even non-plated trainers.
On our easy runs, long runs, and tempo runs, the Speed 4 gave us comfort for miles. With an above-average heel stack (36.2 mm vs. the 33.5 mm average), the cushion is leg-saving. This is composed of a balanced PWRRUN PB foam to keep our strides controlled and stable. To top it off, the mesh upper is incredibly breathable.
Heads up, the thin 2.0 mm tongue may cause some lace bite when tied too tight and on longer runs.
Pros
- Remains lightweight
- Liberty Iso de Saucony
- Great for track workouts
- More spacious fit
- Bouncy and enjoyable ride
- Enhanced stability over v3
- Suits daily training
- Exceptional value
Cons
- Slightly heavier than predecessor
- Could be a bit firm for some

What makes it the best?
In our extensive tests in and out of the lab, the Ride 17 emerges as the top daily trainer among the Saucony line. This shoe proves to be a reliable workhorse that excels across various distances, striking a perfect balance between cushioning and responsiveness. Not only does it deliver comfort, but it also showcases outstanding durability, making it an ideal companion for burning daily mileage.
The Ride 17 stands out with its plush yet bouncy ride, boasting above-average measurements of 35.1/26.6 mm in the heel and forefoot. Our durometer readings reveal a remarkable softness, scoring 19.1% lower than average. This shoe provides consistent support and a buttery-smooth feel, enhanced by the ultra-soft 6.7 mm thick insole.
One of the Ride 17's key strengths lies in its robust outsole, which showed minimal wear even after rigorous outdoor and Dremel testing in the lab. Registering a high 86.0 HC durometer reading and excelling in durability tests, this shoe proves its longevity and toughness in various conditions.
While the Ride 17 impresses with its durability and cushioning, some users may find it slightly lacking in natural feel due to its stiffness. Its 29.4N above-average resistance to bending, as indicated in our 90-degree test, may require a bit more effort to conform to our demands.
Pros

- Most cushioned Ride yet
- Roomy upper
- Enhanced stability
- Upgraded PWRRUN+ midsole
- Best-in-class durability
- Superior lockdown
Cons

What makes it the best?
Among the Saucony roster, Endorphin Pro 4 is our best bet for smashing PBs and earning podium wins. It has tonnes of cushioning and energy to boast while keeping its weight to a minimum. Our lab confirms what our feet truly enjoyed: running fast feels effortless with EP4.
This racer is a featherweight champion, measuring 7.8 oz (220g) on our scale—17.3% lighter than average! It even has a remarkably airy and surprisingly durable upper that gained above-average scores in the lab: a flawless 5/5 in our breathability test and an impressive 4/5 in our durability test.
The S-shaped carbon plate delivers seamless energy rebound in our strides. Our flex test reveals it’s 137.5% stiffer than average. It features Saucony’s Speedroll technology, sustaining our momentum and power efficiently.
Complementing the stiffness is the dynamic midsole—the true star of the show. It packs comfort, surefootedness, and responsiveness in one thanks to its dual-density foam and luscious 38.1 mm heel. The top foam is a plush 18.5 HA for comfort. The bottom support balances the softness with a firmer 22.0 HA to boost stability. This superior combination makes it very forgiving on long races yet responsive on shorter and faster races—a winner at every distance.
Unfortunately, its forefoot stack doesn’t match the heel cushioning. We find that heel-strikers are the ones who will truly benefit from EP4's features.
Pros
- Durable upper and outsole
- Spacious upper fit
- Enhanced midsole comfort
- Great value at £230 for a supershoe
- Versatile across all paces
- Ideal for heel strikers
- More stable than ever
Cons
- Slightly heavier than v3
- Less suited for forefoot strikers
- Competitors may feel quicker

What makes it the best?
The third iteration of the Saucony Endorphin Shift proves that the third time's indeed the charm. This shoe features comfort and protection for days, reliable landings, and seamless propulsion. An excellent daily trainer that excelled in our runs and lab tests, the saucony jazz original navy red white is our pick for the best Saucony running shoe for long runs.
From its thin and airy upper up to its massive stack and protective midsole—this shoe redefines comfort. In the lab, we used our calliper to drill down on the numbers. At the heel, the midsole measures 39.6 mm—a massive 6.4 mm higher than the average road running shoe. It is even more pronounced at the forefoot, measuring 33.1 mm (8.5 mm higher than average). The midsole, which we measured to be 11.6% softer than average, gave us comfort in every step of our LSD runs and marathon training runs.
Other measurements taken in the lab revealed that the upper width of the forefoot is 94.2 mm and the midsole width is 110.8 mm. This explains the shoe's wide base that gave us stable landings, no matter the distance.
Aside from this shoe being quite stiffer than the average (32.6%), the Shift 3's highly rockered geometry gave us an energetic ride and propulsive toe-offs all throughout our long runs.
It's important to note that the Shift 3 has a snug fit with a toebox that is 3.4 mm narrower than average. That being said, this is not the best shoe for runners with wide feet.
Pros
- Light for a maximal shoe
- Comfy and secure upper
- zapatillas icónicas de Saucony como las
- Surprisingly stable
- Very versatile
- Protective underfoot
- saucony shadow 6000 licorice s70588 1 release date
- Doubles as a sneaker
Cons
- Very big
- Not for wide feet

What makes it the best?
The Saucony Kinvara 14 has wings for the feet. Aside from being extremely light and ultra-breathable, it also feels smooth and natural. A speedster shoe without the stiffness brought by carbon plates, it is also fairly cheap for what it offers. Hence, the Kinvara 14 is our choice for the best lightweight Saucony running shoe.
In our lab, we weighed the Kinvara 14 to be 194 g (6.84 oz)—that’s an epic 74g (2.61 oz) of weight difference against the average weight of road running shoes at 268g (9.45 oz).
While its minimalist upper also contributes to keeping the weight low, it also makes the shoe superbly breathable and breezy. In our breathability test, smoke easily passed through the upper and enveloped the shoe—earning the Kinvara 14 a perfect 5/5.
The Kinvara 14's responsive midsole is also low to the ground and has great flexibility. Having a heel stack height below the average (30.3 mm vs 33.2 mm) and a very flexible midsole (49.84% softer than average) contribute greatly to its smooth and natural ground feel.
In an effort to save weight, the outsole rubber coverage is few and far between. Moreover, it is 41.67% thinner than the average thickness in other road running shoes. Runners may look elsewhere for more outsole coverage.

What makes it the best?
The saucony shadow og penfield 6040 olive resembles the agility and airiness of the Peregrine falcon in our outdoor runs. Backed up by the lab, it has extraordinary traction and a low drop that enhances our control over challenging terrain. Its all-rounder capabilities make it the best Saucony trail shoe.
Peregrine 14 feels almost weightless on foot and feels more like a road-running shoe. Our scales confirm our sensations, revealing a mere 9.4 oz (266g), 9.5% lighter than the average trail shoe. Together with its fluid midsole, these shoes deliver smooth and quick movements, allowing us to soar through technical medio while breathing in nature.
This Saucony shoe stays lightweight primarily because of its modest platform. With a 27.3 mm heel—lower than the 32.2 mm average—it offers sufficient comfort and added protection due to its rock plate. Combined with a 25.1 mm forefoot, it yields a minimal 2.2 mm drop, magnifying our ground feel.
The PPWRTRAC outsole has 4.7 mm lugs that are incredibly grippy and cleverly patterned to shed mud. Whether we encountered loose dirt or snow, we breezed through easily and safely.
However, we advise extreme heel strikers and runners with lower leg issues to steer clear of the Peregrine 14's low configuration, as it may lead to discomfort.
Pros
- Natural running feel
- Superb value at just £150
- Flexible and comfortable
- Heel security
- Plusher tongue
- Cushioned insole
- Rock plate
- Highly versatile
Cons
- Limited energy return
- Somewhat firm

What makes it the best?
A surprisingly low-cost and high-value shoe — the Axon 3 stands out from the Saucony range as the best budget running shoe. As proven by our outdoor runs and lab tests, this incredibly comfortable and durable trainer offers premium features without the premium price tag.
At £110, it’s significantly below the £140 average price of daily trainers. It's light in the pocket and light on foot with its 8.6 oz (244g) weight. That’s 12.5% below the average daily trainer!
For such an affordable shoe, the Axon 3 is pleasantly cushioned for long miles, especially its 27.9 mm forefoot. Our durometer confirms our sensation — indeed, the foam is 22.5% softer than average, making it a great companion for long miles.
We’re impressed with the Carbon Rubber outsole’s durability and grip. Even after many miles, there weren't any significant signs of wear. In our lab tests, Axon 3 emerged thicker and denser than the average. Yet what cements its high quality is its smaller indentation of 0.7 mm than the 0.9 mm average in our brutal Dremel test.
If comfort is the top priority, we recommend other options since Axon 3 may be too stiff for some runners.
Pros
- Incredible value at only £110
- Significant weight reduction from version 2
- Impressively cushioned with PWRRUN foam
- Fantastic durability
- I always use saucony
- Excellent as a daily workhorse
- Lovely upper
- Works for short and long runs
Cons
- Probably too stiff for very relaxed runs

If you are after a hardy workhorse for daily miles or training for a marathon, Saucony has quite a selection to choose from. Minimal or highly cushioned, neutral or stability, find out more about each collection below.
Neutral or stability?
TIP: Choose neutral shoes if you’ve never experienced discomfort or pain in most footwear. Neutral shoes are meant for runners with normal pronation (no excessive inward or outward rolling of the foot), while stability shoes have supportive components to prevent overpronation. Learn more in our guide on pronation. |

Let’s talk tech: Special features in Saucony shoes
Technology name means nothing if you have no idea how it benefits you. Here we briefly explain the most common and popular features used in Saucony shoes.
ISOFIT
ISOFIT is an upper design that was present in nearly all Saucony running shoes throughout 2015-2019. It was meant to provide a more adaptive fit by separating the inner sleeve and the external floating support cage. However, it received criticism for making it harder to lace the shoe up and adjust the tightness. That’s why more recent releases come without it.
FORMFIT
First seen in the 2020 editions of the Triumph and Guide, this design offers a holistic approach to comfort. It aims to cradle the foot from above, below, and behind to give a secure fit with no pressure points.
PWRRUN / PWRRUN+ / PWRRUN PB
A step-up from the EVERUN, PWRRUN was first introduced in Saucony Guide 13 (2019 release). It feels noticeably lighter and softer than the EVERUN.
Comprised of small TPU “bubbles”, it may look very similar to Adidas Boost but it has a lighter, livelier ride.
A more advanced version is the PWRRUN+. First seen in 2019, it is now incorporated into such premium lineups as Triumph, Hurricane, and Freedom. It is 28% lighter than the standard PWRRUN and is highly praised for its responsiveness.
The PWRRUN PB stands at the help of the series. It is considerably lighter than the PWRRUN+ (by 40%) and embodies an elite-level of energy return and durability. “PB” stands for Pebax, a material that’s used in the high-end race shoes like Nike Alphafly and Vaporfly. This foam is currently only employed by Saucony Endorphin Pro racer.
SPEEDROLL
The Speedroll was introduced along with the Endorphin collection. It is the brand’s take on the rocker design, which promotes a faster and livelier forward roll.
The upturned forefoot helps to create a rocker-like sensation.
Carbon-fibre plate
Used only in the Endorphin Pro race shoe, this full-length piece of stiff carbon creates extra propulsion for the speediest runs. It helps you maintain a high tempo on long distances and push through those final marathon miles easier.
The black elements inside the white foam are carbon plates.
PWRTRAC
Used on the Peregrines and some other Saucony trail shoes, this tacky rubber compound works together with the lugs for efficient traction in all conditions. It is also more resistant to abrasion than standard rubber.
Frequently asked questions
How long do Saucony running shoes last?
The brand itself estimates around 400 miles for its shoes’ lifespan. However, some models can be more durable, while others may not live up to that claim. Here are some of the signs that you need to replace your pair:
- worn-out treading, lack of grip
- tears, holes, creases and other deformities that affect comfort
- the cushioning feels “dead”
Seasoned runners keep several pairs in their rotations to avoid burning through one shoe too fast. You can also use apps like Strava to keep track of your miles.
