Customer Reviews Saucony Ride ISO

I have worn the previous 6 versions of the Ride, but was skeptical of the new ISO system and changes. The fit is great, and not a huge change from previous versions. Toe box and width are pretty generous. Lots of stretch in the materials helps provide a solid yet flexible fit. Cushioning is awesome. Most brands charge more of a premium for a ride this plush. Very comfortable for short and mid distance runs. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a comfortable plush daily trainer.

I bought these and have not taken off for days! These are absolutely the best ever as far as I am concerned! Worth every penny! Go for it!

These shoes don't really need much of a break in period, but they do have an adjustment period. The ISOFIT is both a pro and con for this shoe. While it does allow a lot of flexibility for how the upper portion fits your foot, it does take some time to adjust it. Because of the form you can adjust pretty much all the areas of the shoe for varying degrees of tightness and feel, which may take some time and a number of runs to adjust for your comfort. The shoes have a pretty good amount of cushioning that makes them feel soft yet still supportive rather than a spongy feel. Once you get the fit dialed in they are comfortable, but that can take a while.

Saucony has a great history and reputation as a quality running shoe. I agree with others who commented that the heel just felt like there was too high of an offset. I heard that Saucony is coming out with a new "Ride" model in May. So, hopefully they will make improvements. It might be worth the wait.

I am discouraged that Saucony drops or changes models every year. I cannot buy the same model two years in a row. Thus, comfort is always a question. Less than one year ago I bought Saucony Ride 10 in the same size and they are very comfortable. The Saucony Ride ISO are not close to the same fit. If Saucony feels compelled to change their shoes annually or more frequently, I suggest they not make the model names the same or similar, inferring they will fit the same (that is "Ride")

Back they go! Way too narrow, the collar gets right up under the ankle bone and really irritates it, the tongue sits way too high on the instep, the lacing system is odd, the shoe is stiff and it is seriously ugly. Other than that, it's fine. Wait, why did I order these in the first place? Because I liked the Ride line in the past and thought this would be a good iteration. Not so much.
