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 will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.

What runners say
“Cushioning is plush but springy—doesn't have that sinking-and-bouncing-back feel.”
“1000 miles and still going strong.”
“ISOFIT technology is SO COMFORTABLE with literally zero slip.”
“From 50 to 350 miles: as good as it gets, ride and cushion very consistent.”
“Extremely comfy out of box; almost tad firm, but ride becomes sensational after break-in.”
“Blistering on side of foot behind big toe from awkwardly-placed tongue.”
“Light(ish) for a high mileage well cushioned trainer.”
“ISOfit is legit—first Saucony trainer ever liked.”
“Extremely difficult to land on midfoot if you're a midfoot striker.”
“Iso-fit comfortable but requires specific lace adjustments to feel right.”

Overall
Never been a "high cushion" shoe guy, but a buddy who works at a shoe shop in town was seeded a pair and they were too small for him. Been running in them for about 3 months now and have to honestly say they are one of my favorite pairs of shoes. Even jokingly...asked him to see if he could get another pair. Shoe is super light, what I'm used to, and not overly mushy which is how I would have previously described shoes in this category.

Great shoe, used mostly for mileage and easier runs. Wildly comfortable, durable, and great over a variety of surfaces and paces. Definitely recommended as a go-to for everyday runs.
