Customer Reviews Saucony Ride 15

These are a great pair of running shoes. Stability is great. A good amount of spring without having the plastic or carbon fiber plate assist. These are good running shoes for distances, long runs, or racing if you don't race with the plate.

I bought the Ride at my local running store to train for a half marathon, and have really liked them so far. I am a beginner runner in terms of competitive running, and these shoes have been great as I am going through my first ever training program. They are comfortable, light, and feel very springy. I have fairly wide feet and have absolutely zero issue with this, which is something I can't say for a lot of shoes.

The Ride 15 balances responsiveness with just enough cushion to be a great daily trainer. The updates to the upper really improve the shoe (thinner, lighter, more breathable). The tongue offers enough cushion and support without being too much. I was skeptical about the lacing system, but it works to provide excellent lockdown. They changed everything about this shoe, but it still feels like a Ride. The redesign made this a better shoe.

Great light shoe with good enough cushion for 15 milers

I have been scouring the globe for a shoe that satisfies most if not all of my needs. I am new to saucony and my first was the endorphin speed 2 and I was blown away by that shoe. The lockdown was amazing and I thought if I could have a daily trainer/long run shoe that fit this well I would get it. Well here it is. The fit is fantastic, breathes well, looks really good. After putting some miles on my first pair I was convinced I needed a 2nd pair . No regrets at all. Highly recommended. The one gripe is one of my laces seems to be coming apart early. I guess if I had something to complain about.

I ran in my first ever half marathon and these shoes did absolute wonders for my feet. Super light weight and extremely comfortable. Definitely recommend these shoes and can't wait to wear them again in my next marathon!

IMHO.the Ride 15 is the best design yet out of all the Ride running shoes! Comfort, cushion and style are tops with the new Ride 15! I've been running for many..many years now and Saucony outdid themselves this time around! Thanks and happy running!

Great all around training shoe with phenomenal cushioning.

Pretty sure these are the best shoes ever worn. 6'1", 200 lbs. and trying to become a good runner for 13 years now. This could be the big year.

Nice update - appreciate the lighter footprint and overall improvements to a model I buy repeatedly.

I'm a slow-paced runner that puts a premium of soft spongey feeling with the hope that there is still a bit of responsiveness, (Adidas pureboost go best example). I thought the Triumphs would be the answer for me, but they don't have the responsiveness I was hoping for, and now use them for walking. The Ride 15's are the perfect blend of softness & responsiveness, and in a lightweight package.

If you're like me and like/need a neutral road running sneaker, this is your shoe! I own the Ride 13, 14 15. Personally my ranking in comfort, style and quality is: Ride 15, Ride 13, Ride 14. Fits true to size, super light, cushiony enough to give you that neutral feel, excellent for long runs. Will be bringing these to my next half marathon.

All the good reviews from experts are true. I ran 7 this morning and they are a better fit from heal to upper to toe than the ride 13s. I ran a half this weekend and my legs were a little heavy but these shoes were light and my recovery pace was better than normal. I can't wait to eat up more miles with these and I'm sure a second pair is in my future.

This is a follow-up to my previous review titled "This shoe might be the perfect daily trainer...." - Everything I said in that review still holds true - I love everything about the updates to this shoe. I felt compelled to do a follow-up review, because after I put some miles on my first pair of Ride 15s, I bought a second pair to start rotating. The second pair, I bought in Campfire Story colorway, which I have to say, the pictures online do not do this colorway justice. The photos are fairly muted, whereas in person? These shoes are NEON. It's wonderful. The other thing that I just learned, yesterday, that I had no idea about??? THE OUTSOLE GLOWS IN THE DARK!!!!!! I feel like I am 8yrs old again, begging my mom to buy me glow in the dark shoes, and she won't do it.... and now 30yrs later, I am finally getting vindication.

I was a long time Ride fan until the ISO versions came out. I tried the Ride 13 and thought they were just ok. Then Endorphin series came out and I thought I'd never run in Rides again. That was until I tried the Ride 15. The positive reviews were enough for me to buy a pair...and I am very glad I did. I thought I'd be giving up speed/responsiveness in exchange for stability. Not the case. I find these shoes to be as fast and responsive as the Endorphin Speed. After a couple 12 mile runs my legs feel better than after running in the Endorphins. I suspect the added stability is the reason. These shoes rock. They're light, fast and extremely comfortable. They are a completely different shoe from the Ride 13 or 14.

I've been running in Rides for a little over a year. Spanning two pairs of 13s, and a pair of 14s. They worked well for me, but I always in the back of my mind wished they were a tad lighter, and had a little more cushion...... The 15 dropped weight, and added cushion! (It's essentially a completely different shoe. If you ask me, it's a full overhaul from the 13-14) Some takeaways and thoughts: ************************************* 1- The extra stack height is not that noticeable. I mean, it's there, but not to the point that I am worried about rolling an ankle because I'm running on stilts. It's a fairly minimal change. 2- The change in midsole formula is huge. The foam is NOTICEABLY softer, but still feels fairly responsive. Definitely loses some ground feel, but not so much that I feel disconnected. 3- The upper breathes much better than the 13 or 14, and the fully gusseted tongue makes the shoe fit kind of like a booty. The lace strap system really locks the midfoot in securely. I initially didn't like the midfoot feel and thought it needed to be more heel-locked, but after a few runs I realized that I absolutely LOVE the way they lock in my foot without choking it. 4- The 15 is SLIGHTLY narrower in the forefoot than the 13/14, but the toebox feels comfortable. If a person is a borderline "wide" and wore the 13/14, they MIGHT need a wide in the 15. It's not narrow by any stretch, but it is slightly narrowER than the previous models by a very little bit, but I would still consider it to be "true to size." 5- It's versatile enough for everyday runs, long runs, and some threshold/tempo runs. It really likes mid-to-long miles. It stays comfortable for a long time, and the midsole foam exists in a sweet spot of being comfortable enough, but not robbing you of bounceback energy return. It's a comfy & bouncy shoe, but not a particularly snappy shoe (if that makes sense.) While I'm grabbing the Ride 15 for most of my everyday runs and long runs, I'm still pulling the Endorphin Speed off the shelf for track workouts. 6- The PWRRUN+ insole is genius and adds an extra level of comfort to the shoe and I am really happy to see it incorporated this way instead of just having a run-of-the-mill liner. 7- Part of dropping weight from the shoe involved reducing the amount/coverage of rubber on the outsole. This results in reduced wet-weather traction. Summary... ************************************** Pro's: Lighter, Bouncier, more secure fit, versatile, COMFORTABLE. Con's: Ever so slightly narrower than the previous models, reduced wet weather traction, not a track shoe (duh).

This shoe starts out cushy and still has a good pop on my mid runs

The shoe is really comfortable and fits really well.

Very comfortable shoe , however fit is small. I own 7 pair of Saucony shoes at varying quality levels. The Guide 15 is very comfortable, however the fit is very small. I normally can order my size 10 1/2 but can only wear these without socks in order to get them on. Really should have exchanged for the next size up, but have worn the shoe a few times so not new any longer.

After enjoying my first pair of Ride 15s, I needed to get another pair of shoes in the wings to replace them. Instead of going with the new Ride 16s, I decided to buy a second pair of Ride 15s as they had their price lowered. One thing I noticed on these Ride 15s is the fit seems to have changed. A little narrower than my first pair, which I notice on my left foot being larger. The same complaint that prevented me from buying the Triumph 20s, compared to my existing Triumph 19 and 18s. Also the laces were different, shorter and thinner. Not sure why that was changed. Those complaints aside, the Ride 15 delivers a nice balance between cushioning and weight. Happy with the durability and quality so far, with my first pair currently at 350 km and the second ones at 50 km.

Was looking for a stability shoe with support, as I'm recovering from an ankle surgery, saw this one and was drawn to it when I saw it had reflective visibility. As someone who works early in the morning and late into the night, that was a big selling point for me. The shoe is very comfortable and has helped lessen the strain to my ankle greatly. I really like that the sides are form fitting, so there isn't much foot movement without being uncomfortably tight. There are a few things to point out though: Be wary when choosing the half sizes, and note that the colour of the shoe on the site isn't fully accurate. I picked 7.5 for my size, but I received an 8 instead. Luckily it still works for me due to the aforementioned form fitting, but best to keep that in mind just in case. As for the colour, while the site image shows a strong black with some dark blue accents, when I received the shoe the base yellow comes out a lot more prominently under the black, making it seem more blue in certain lighting. This was a bit of a disappointment for me as I was hoping it was more black, but luckily some of my wardrobe is dark blue and yellow, so it still works. It does limit when I can wear it though, which does defeat the desire to wear it all the time for the benefit of the reflective feature. Overall though, still a pretty solid purchase.

Love that they're all black. Very light weight, sturdy back.
