How it ranks
The Saucony Virrata 2 is one of the strongest daily trainers in our data. Value and cushioning are its strongest sub-ratings. Durability scores well below its other sub-ratings. The rating rests on 17 runner reviews and 2 other rated shoes in the Virrata 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 will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.
Confidence
94/100
“Light, non-bulky (way too rare these days), and low/zero drop, but well-cushioned.”
“Provides an experience reminiscent of running barefoot, while still providing surprisingly much cushioning.”
“Feels great and is zero drop, bringing the best value for a speed/tempo shoe.”
“Fits the bill perfectly and is cheap, cheap, cheap!”
“Love the zero drop and without the thick padding that other zero drop shoes have.”
“Once you start a run you don't even notice they are there.”
“Light, firm ride works for forefoot to midfoot strike.”
“Flexible, fast but also nicely cushioned.”
“Sole/midsole seems to wear out pretty quickly.”
“Racing flat with better cushion. Great for forefoot strikers.”
