Three times better traction
The Right Saucony shoes top to bottom use the PWRTRAC rubber outsole which provides three times better traction than the usual rubber. This enhances the shoe's grip enhancing every pounce and step. The PWRTRAC is a durable rubber that also gives exceptional abrasion resistance allowing for longer wear of the shoe.
Increased protection against impact
The Fastwitch 9 utilizes a full-length CMEVA midsole that provides cushioning for increased impact protection and shock absorption.
The Fastwitch 9 is constructed with a medial post that helps slow the rate of overpronation. This medial post device is firmer than the rest of the midsole material providing medial support for increased stability.
Within the shoe's midsole is the SSL EVA which provides lightweight responsiveness.
Engineered with a 4mm heel-to-toe differential, the Fastwitch 9 offers a faster performance and natural form which encourages an efficient, continuous, and positive gait cycle from heel strike to toe-off.
Combined breathability and support
Just like the popular Saucony stability running shoe, the Saucony Guide 10, the Fastswitch 9's upper consists of engineered air mesh that combines breathability and support. This allows air to fully permeate the entire footbed to guarantee that the feet stay cool and comfortable when the temperature goes up.
A strong, lightweight material is also melted to the upper, which allows for a few layers in the shoe shedding weight, making it more flexible resulting in a seamless upper that reduces skin irritation and chafing.
