Love saucony ride 7!

Overall

I love this shoe, and hate that they always tweak new versions. I’m running out of availability online of the old model to buy. I have a wide toe bed but narrow ankle, and these have been a perfect fit, I wear a half size up. I do feel like they need to be replaced sooner than the recommended mileage replacement.

Have run this on the trail/road for a year. Comfortable shoe, never a problem. Durable. Fairly fast. Good value if you buy it in sale. More durable than the Saucony Triumph. A slight improvement compared to the Ride 5.

Overall

I like the narrow fit and the fact that it doesn't have any material pushing into my arch (I have somewhat flat feet). I'd like if the drop was 4mm instead of 8mm. I've run ~300 miles of marathon training so far and love the shoe! It's the first time I've tried it - switched from Brooks PureFlows.
