Thanks! We'll notify you as soon as we add new styles for Saucony.
In 1977, after many long years being kept a close secret, Saucony® men's shoes and women's shoes were recognized by a small group of serious runners and received an award given by a US magazine. Stemming from that day, Saucony® shoes and clothing have built a reputation for high quality and innovative technical performance for which it is known today.

Four years later, the Saucony® Jazz O, the most popular Saucony (now Saucony® Original) shoe to be made, was launched and in 1991, offered a midsole comprising both cushioning and stability-GRID® resulting in men's and women's shoes that delivered a superior ride.

At Saucony®, they exist for runners. Runners inspire them, bringing new ideas and force the Saucony® brand to be better inside and out. They are the inspiration behind the design and engineering of Saucony's best-made products. Runners keep them competitive, hungry and driven but mostly, honest.

Whether in a conference room, or out on a lunchtime run, Saucony® employees are constantly talking about and arguing about their running clothing, shoes and accessories. They are passionate about their products and run in every product they make. This focus and passion fuels them to create the best Saucony® running pieces on the planet. And they keep an eye toward the future when producing Saucony® kid's shoes. Doing so allows them to come to work each day knowing they've done everything to make runner's lives, regardless of age, just a little bit better.

At Saucony®, a good day is when they get to run. A great day is when they inspire someone else to run.

These shoes are a great update to the Ride 4. The change in the heel to toe offset is comfortable and makes my stride feel more natural. They are extremely comfortable as I did an easy 3-mile run on the treadmill in them today. I love the bright pink and neon green. An excellent and supportive running shoe!

I dislike the redesign; The laces are too thin and bite. The lowered heel feels awkward. The general shape of the shoes no longer feel "right." These are very disappointing.

I love these shoes! I've been a hurricane pro grid fan for about 5 years, but decided to give these a whirl. I love love love these running shoes! I have terrible knees and since running with these, I have had little knee pain. They're also super cute! I do about 15 miles a week and these have been great. Just ordered another pair for my first half marathon!

I am so happy! The ride is back! This is easily the best Ride since the Ride 1 or 2...they were both favorites of mine for everyday running comfort, excellent cushioning and lightweight feel.

Very different from the rides 4 and 3. I have run in the Ride for about 4 years, and I have now switched to a different shoe because of the new model feels. The shoe itself is more shallow than the others before it, making it feel like my heel is going to slide out of the shoe whenever I take a step. Was very bummed about the new model, but went to the shoe store and they got me fitted into the Mizuno Wave Rider 15, which feels very close to the way the Saucony Ride 4 felt.

My daughter is the runner 14 years of age. Just history - 1600m (4:57), 800m (2:20), 400m(:56). We have wore several other brands. They have caused shin splints, issues with ankle support. We went to a recommend store in the Houston, TX. She tried on 7 different brands. The Saucony ProGrid was her favorite by far. She has been running in them for a month now and no issues on and off the track. It gives her the arch support she needs but also gives her the ability to work on her speed. She is working on her way to the top.
