How it ranks
The Saucony Ride 6 trails most daily trainers in our data. Value and cushioning are its strongest sub-ratings. The rating is based on 40 runner reviews and 10 other rated shoes in the Ride product line.
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence is low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.

“After 300 miles, I can feel the cushioning wearing out”
“They do tend to wear out really fast, especially when I wear them for speed workouts”

“The laces come untied easily”
“It's a bit heavier than my ideal for faster running”

“The traction wears down pretty quickly”
“Very comfortable, but still looking for a shoe that fits my foot better”
