So comfortable! Light and just enough bounce.

I’ve been wearing Brooks for years and went in for a new pair. The person helping me asked a bunch of questions about my training and brought out several shoes. He told me the Saucony Ride is his favorite shoe in his rotation. As soon as I put it on, it felt great. Bought a pair and ran 12 miles the next day. IN LOVE with these shoes. Bought a 2nd pair a few weeks later. Favorite shoes.

I wear these shoes to school everyday as an occupational therapy student. My days consist of long hours constantly up and down on my feet and these shoes feel great! No pain in my feet, legs, or back! Love them! I need more Saucony shoes!

Saucony Ride 18 Athletic Shoes are the BEST

My first pair of Saucony sneakers -- can't say enough about the comfort level. I have arthritis and take senior fitness classes and I have used them for everyday use and at the gym for my classes. My first but not last pair of Saucony shoes for sure.

Very happy with the shoe. It’s very comfortable and I’ve had no problems running in them. They fit slightly larger that my previous Sauconys especially in the toe box. I may have been able to order 1/2 size smaller but still not a problem with socks.

I wish I would've gotten a different model

I loved the Saucony Echelon and Saucony Triumphs. They were extremely comfortable and provided excellent support during my runs. I have a history of 2 knee surgeries so I am particular about the feel and comfort of my running shoes. I was excited to try this model out! I was saddened when I discovered they do not provide the similar comfort I enjoyed with the previous models. Running and even walking in these shoes cause discomfort on the outside of my feet. The day after wearing these shoes, I still felt the lateral foot pain. I have given them ample time and casual wear to break in, but they are still causing pain. I will end up repurchasing the previously mentioned models:)

This was purchased for my Mother, who is 92 and walks three miles (slowly) a day. This is her second pair of Saucony shoes, and she loves them. They cushion her steps and look really nice.

Not as good as the 17. The cushioning isn’t the same. Why do they change models so often?!

I’m really happy with my new Ride 18 in black. They are replacing my last pair of Ride 17. They are comfy with enough cushioning and support for everyday activities , gym class and long walks

Disappointed
Originally posted on Saucony
This has been my second pair of Saucony rides and the first pair I loved, hence buying the second. However, when I received the second pair and put them on they felt horrible on foot…no cushion what so ever! This led me to buying a different Saucony sneaker, so hoping that this one is the right fit! Very disappointing

Favorite shoe
Originally posted on Saucony

Crazyyyy comfortable. Great looking shoe. Perfect for daily wear, walking, running. Stains wash out easily. However, on one shoe, I quickly wore a hole in the top of the shoe wear my big toe would be. I don't know why the Ride 19's couldn't look more like this. Ugly design & terrible colors. Will not be getting a pair.

Pretty good but need longer laces.

Purchased these for my wife. She has just started wearing them and so far likes them. One issue is shoe laces are much too short. She said she would just order some longer ones.

Smooth and lightweight
Originally posted on Saucony
I have become a super fan of Saucony shoes over the past 2 years. Their daily trainers are wonderful, but the Ride remains a classic but now with a high-end feel for a lower price. The cushion in this shoe gives a lightweight, smooth ride without the bulk. It's easy to shift into tempo or strides because this shoe provides some responsiveness.

Best overall trainer!

Love this version of the Ride! Foot feel is snug, but super comfortable. It makes for a perfect overall running shoe, and great to have in your shoe rotation. My only suggestion is to make the shoelaces longer - I can barely tie my shoes!:)
