Customer Reviews Saucony Ride 16

This shoe fits my foot like a glove. Which is why I really wish I enjoyed running in it more. If this shoe were a little lighter/softer/more flexible, it would be my go to shoe. With all of the technology in running shoes lately, the Ride just feels clunky and flat.

I am a little apprehensive about buying the 16. My ride 15 were comfortable but every time I ran in them I got a blister on the top of my foot Where the tag is on the tongue. I have a scar on both feet. alot of money to struggle with that. footbed and toebox were great. Have wore Saucony for several years.

There seems to be a lot of room in the toe box on these and I typically wear a 9 in running shoes. They feel a bit sloppy to me.

I'm a long time saucony wearer. The fit is perfect for me. The ride 16 does not havecthe same perfect fit. The toe box is not a roomy as past models. Also, the lacing system is more complicated than necessary. Not sure what the ribbon gimmick is all about. Timing shoes should not be complicated.

I was disappointed because I've been wearing Saucony running shoes for over 30 years! But I did not find them comfortable, minimal cushioning; plus they rubbed against my ankle bones so I returned them.

My last pair of runners is Ride 14 but as soon as I put on Ride 16 I felt the rough seam of the inside of the shoe tongue on both sides.

Don't like the changes from the Ride 15. The 16 is too stiff and the sides come up on my ankle higher than the 15.

I normally wear a size 10 but wanted to try a 10.5W because lately I've been wanting a little more wiggle room but they were too big. Easy to return/exchange so I tried a 10. Still didn't really like the way they fit. Super cute color but I prefer the way my Brooks fit better.

Disappointing, The tread present on earlier Ride Models (like Ride 13 and Ride 14) was replaced with minimal thread with the result that they slipped on even wet pavement or dry leaves. While I need a big toe box and deep instep, then Ride 16 fit was sloppy all around. Please bring back Ride 13 or 14!

Not comfortable at all. 4 months later and still feel like they are not broke in. Within a month the tread was badly damaged. Their tread is completely missing on the ball if the foot, making them even less comfortable. I have always loved Saucony, but not impressed with this model.

Not a peregrine. Not for me, caused tendonitis, therefore heel pain.

I have been a Ride wearer since the Ride 14. Then went to the Ride 15. Both of these styles were comfortable and and the fit was perfect. The Ride 16, however seems to be different. It has a different shaped toe box, which I felt was unappealing. Also the inner sole seemed to be different material, which made for an uncomfortable feel.

I have worn Rides for several years. I have a high arch and instep and had difficulty just getting my foot into the new 16. The toe box also seems smaller. I returned them.

I wanted to love these but they're just painful. I've tried to give it some time to break them in but I don't think the 16's are going to work for me.

Overall, not comfortable as compared to Ride 15. For walking and running, the shoes felt less cushioned, and less flexible. The shoe sizing seemed 1/2 bigger in length , wider fit. Disappointed in the Ride 16. The Ride 16 is too uncomfortable to wear for exercise or everyday activities.

I ran in multiple pairs of the ride 15s for years. They were phenomenal, and now that I'm on my last pair, I had to move to the new version: the Ride 16s. This shoe is a complete departure from what we know the ride to be. If you're looking for a similar experience, you won't get it with this shoe. This shoe is HARD. It hurts to run in. Out of the box, the Ride 15s could be worn for miles. The 16s hurt before I'm done warming up. There is cushion, but not the same give that the Ride 15s had. It's also heavier, as if they changed the very material and density of the midsole. The updated tongue is less attached and the laces are wonky, making the whole on/off experience strange and rife with annoyance. Aesthetically, the 16s lack. They don't look as sporty, giving more of a Brooks Ghost vibes, which is really too bad. The new tongue also has a very ugly seam down the middle which can be seen through the laces. And of course, the otherwise black and white women's shoe was given a pink tag and lace tips, which feels a little reductive. I purchased my pair on running warehouse and they're going back.

Unfortunately I had to return them..Very uncomfortable for me. I had been wearing Guide 14's, but were discontinued. They were perfect.

Won't buy again. Too tight, also eyelet are too small so very hard to put shoelaces in.

I've worn the Ride exclusively for over 10 years, and I usually go through about 5+ pair each year. In the past, they were perfect for my narrow heel/wider forefoot. Unfortunately, the Ride 14 was the last good year for these, even though the soles wore down too quickly on that model. For the last two years, the design has changed too much and the size of the toe box has been reduced, making them too uncomfortable to wear for even a short run. I tried the wide in the Ride 16, and that's even worse as it's wide all the way back through the arch. The Ride 16 also lacks cushioning/rebound found in the prior years, adding to the overall discomfort of this shoe. I am so disappointed with the new design, and they're too uncomfortable to wear. Please, please bring back the prior (Ride 14 or older) design.

I've worn Saucony Rides for the last five years, and the Triumphs prior to that. I've run several marathons, and never had any issues. The Ride 16s are made with poor quality materials compared to previous versions. There's also stiff leather with a hard seam across the top that prior models didn't have. I tried them on and it was uncomfortable standing there. I can't imagine running marathons in them like I did with prior models. Definitely returning these.

This is my 6th pair and I'm disappointed they make a pop sound and I work in a hospital and it's disturbing to patients

Honestly these haven't been great. 3 runs in and my feet go numb at 3km and feel bruised and painful for days after. I will be going back to more of the trail style even though I'm running on roads and paved paths.
