Customer Reviews Saucony Ride 15

Maybe my favorite cushion ever in a daily trainer, but I haven't been able to get along with the upper. My Kinvara 13s and Xodus Ultras are a great fit for me in size 12.5, but the Ride 15s are narrower in the mid-foot and no matter how I adjust the lacing the shoes are uncomfortably binding. If I could do it over again I would have tried 12.5 wide to see if they were a better fit.

Just not the same as previous Rides. The 15 was slightly narrower, which meant that I had to go up an extra half size just to accommodate my big toe. So I already had the extra space at the end of the shoe, plus the additional half size, it kind of feels like I'm wearing clown shoes. Plus the sole of the shoe makes loud squishing noise (the shoes have never been wet), so I can't wear them to work, because that sound will drive people bonkers.

I have a narrow heel, very high arch, and wide forefoot. This shoe just didn't fit me. I couldn't get the heel to lock down and my forefoot was very restricted. It has a very thick sock liner. It is there to give the shoe a softer ride. It needs it because the midsole is very stiff and firm. I'm 6' 175 pounds. This shoe was just to firm for me. It's well made. No issues with quality.

These are very comfortable and light shoes. The major downside for me was the sole was extremely worn-down after only 3 months.

Comfortable but appearance needs work..they look pink vs. red and the black soles look like orthopedics. But the laces are the worst!

A solid, balanced running shoe that you can take to any street. Using the Ride15 as my slower day rotation shoes.

Jsut wouldn't buy this compared to the endorphin, there's just something so great about the roll that makes me hate shoes without it.

Hi, I've run about 55 miles, including a 20+ mile training run, on these shoes after running in a max cushion shoes for many years. I appreciate the 8mm drop vs the 5mm drop in my old shoes. The shoes are described as having more cushioning than previous models however I found it still to be too firm for me so I had to return them. I should have considered the Triumph which may have a more cushioned ride before buying the Ride 15. I also found I needed to purchase these shoes 1/2 size larger than I have used in previous running shoes.

Great shoe but not for me anymore. Ive ran in the 13 & 14. The upper in the 15 is too snug for me. Wish they would have worked. Sitting depper in the shoe causes heel rub for me.

Liked the fit and the rolling motion of the shoe but there is a bump in the arch that was extremely uncomfortable and bruised my feet. I had the same issue with the Triumphs. I can understand arch support for people that have flat feet but don't understand why this feature would be in a running shoe for neutral runners who generally have medium and high arches (mine are medium).

The front of the shoe is wide enough to be comfortable; however, the heel is too narrow. The outside of my right heel kept rubbing against the shoe, which caused a callus, -- which was very uncomfortable, especially since I was on a 7-mile walk. The sole also needs more cushioning.

The length of the shoe is fine but they are a very tight fit. I notice this most in the area of the toe box. I thought they would stretch some but this has not happened. I have a narrow foot so this was a surprise for me. Hi

I was in heaven with the Ride 14, I switched to them after using Brooks for a long time. Brooks kept getting softer and softer to the point they were too soft and were causing me issues, along with incredibly fast wear (foam). I bought my shoes at a running store and hence had guidance, they told me going in the Ride 15 had changed the fit. I went down from a 12.5 to a 12 going from the Ride 14 to Ride 15. The size 12 Ride 15 is still larger and wider than the Ride 14 in a 12.5, and it just doesn't work for me. The wider heel provides noticeably less stability and I got knee pain almost immediately when I used them to run the first time. Once looking at things clearly it's obvious they are noticeably bigger and wider and you can feel the difference. Perhaps I should have gone all the way down to an 11.5, but going down a whole size in what is supposed to just be a revision of the same shoe would have seemed preposterous. I held them for a while as I wore down my last pair of Ride 14 and can't return them now.. I am not even going to wear the Ride 15s walking around. They are just too big and too unstable for my feet. This whole thing is shocking since other reviews indicate smaller sizes fit tighter than the Ride 14 did.

Size 11 does not feel like a size 11. Shoe feels snug. Left heel hurts after walking in the shoe for 1 hour.

I received my pair of Men's Ride 15 last week and excited to run in them the first time. After just a mile my toes were hurting so bad I had to stop and remove them. As a loyal Saucony customer over the years I have gone thru' several pairs of Triumph, Endorphin Speed and earlier ISO 5's. Never had any problems until this new Ride 15. I can't understand with a wide midsole with landing on the forefoot, why is the upper so narrow, pointed and tight?? I purchased my usual size which is 1/2 size larger than my street shoes and what my Triumph and endorphin Speed's are. I'm very disappointed and for the first time regarding Saucony, would not recommend the Ride 15.

I did not rate them yet because it is too early to tell. The outer edge, mid-to-back, of the left shoe seems to be a bit high, but I have been having a little trouble with my left foot of late, so I want to wait till that clears up before I make a final assessment. This Ride version (15?) is definitely a bit squishier. This my fourth Saucony pair since returning to running, so obviously I'm sold on them. I do have a Kinvara back-up shoe to switch to every other day. In fact, I'm thinking of getting a new Kinvara to ensure I can keep running with assurance as I wait to see if the Ride 15's are going to smooth out. I'll keep you posted

I love the brand and the shoes....but this pair squeaks all the time...very comfortable shoes but annoying squeak.

Bought the Ride 15 originally and it was too narrow, so I 'exchanged' it for the Ride 15 Wide. Well, you can't really exchange from a standard to a wide, for some reason, but the customer service rep got it returned for me and gave me a link to purchase the Wide. Anyway, got the Ride 25 Wide, and it was too wide. The fit just didn't feel good anywhere - the toe box was way too wide, and the heel cup didn't feel good on the side of my heel. Thought I could just keep them for a daily walker shoe, but not the way it felt. Hope the Ride 15's work for someone, because they certainly don't for me.

This is my 4th pair of rides and the 15 is way different. It's almost half inch longer than my other pairs and the style and feel is way different. They are also more narrow which is not good for me. Too much cushion so I don't feel in control of my feet. The previous versions had just the right amount of cushioning and felt secure on my feet and my knees are hurting now. I will not buy again if they keep this version. I'll have to find another brand. I would have returned them but I thought they might be good for the treadmill with more cushion so I wore them a few times so I'll probably just give them away. Very very sad as both my husband and I loved the Rides.

It's really disappointing when shoe makers take perfectly good styles and "update" them to make them worse. This shoe design is too narrow, tight, and low around the ankle when compared to RIDE 14, 13, etc.

After successfully using the Ride shoe lineup for 4 generations prior as my ultimate go to shoe for running, walking and working out, the Ride 15s are a miserable redesign failure and I am very shocked and disappointed. They look good and love the tread design, but I returned these as the comfort and fit was poor, and not totally sure if the left shoe did not have an inherent defect in the sole as it pulled my left foot aggressively inward - more than a slight compensation for pronation that is for sure. Saucony has not provided feedback to me on that issue, so another disappointment. Gone is the freedom and flexibility that this shoe model once offered - so sad too. I am also not thrilled at all with having to pay for return shipping on these either given the potential defect concern - especially being a loyal Saucony customer for over 15 years! I have found alternative Saucony models that work well for me, but I am seeking other shoe vendor alternatives to replace the Saucony Ride15.
