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.”

Great ride and mid foot wrap. A little loose in the heel which detracts a bit from the overall feel and performance.

Very lightweight cushioned shoe. Iso-fit is comfortable, but requires specific adjustments on laces to feel right.

Great, incredibly comfortable, good-looking shoe. Run mostly on the roads, and it definitely is good cushioning for that. Feels light enough for a very cushioned shoe.
