Only pair I've ever worn

5/5

Overall

Ever since I got injured wearing a pair of generic Nike trainers during the fall of my freshman year of high school cross country, I've been wearing the Saucony Ride. In the past 5 years, I have only had one injury that kept me out for 30 days or more. This shoe is amazing and I will not consider buying another pair. They are very flexible, very durable. Traditionally, each pair has lasted until a tear began to open up in the top right corner of my right foot (I believe it has been this area) and when I noticed the tear I bought a new pair of shoes. But no hole has appeared after more than normal mileage on my Ride 10s, so it is possible that they have fixed that issue with added padding. It is also possible that my form has changed. I think that the shoe was already great when I first bought the Ride 6 but continues to get better each year without sacrificing any of the core elements.

Saucony Ride 10 Womens Review! 10/10

5/5

Overall

I bought this shoe during my cross country season, after previously having run in Nikes, and then Brooks. The Nikes hurt my shins, and the Brooks were perfect until they completely wore through in less than 300 miles. My first day ever wearing these shoes, I ran my best workout of xc season. Since October 2017 I've purchased 2 other pairs. I under pronate, making the wear primarily under the middle-pinky toe area of the sole. The toes of my shoes often also wear through. Of course there was wear, as I run in these shoes every day, but even after 480 miles I would be comfortable running in these, and would not be in any other shoe. The appearance is a bit clunky, but the grey/pink ones are the best looking so far. If you are looking for a reliable, cushioned, and comfortable mid-distance training shoe, this is the shoe for you. I train for the mile and 800 and 5k, and these have carried me through and through. They do not wear in the toes, perfect for anyone who entirely avoids heel striking. 10/10!

Overall

I am on my second pair of the Saucony Ride 10. It is a sturdy, comfortable, reliable shoe that I like to use for easy runs and slower long runs. Personally, I don't find it as responsive in workouts or when trying to pick up the pace. My first pair lasted about 400 miles before the sole was noticeably worn down and the cushioning felt less protective.
