Comfort

Very comfortable, with a lot of room in the toe bed.

So comfortable, foot pain is gone!

Immediately comfortable and cradled my foot perfectly. It rolls your foot forward quickly like my pedorthist explained, which has given me great relief from my foot pain. Nice looking but gets dirty more easily due to fabric upper. Sizing is great for my small foot!!

These shoes are the best. I wore them recently to run a Half Marathon race and they were amazing, as always. The perfect cushion, not too heavy and I won my division.

Good Average Shoe - Missing the Ride 17s
Originally posted on Saucony
No, I don't recommend this
I have been running in the Ride 17s for a year, and I love them. I definitely wore those out, putting more than 400 miles on them. They're like clouds. Unfortunately, the Ride 18s are very different in my opinion. It's like they took half of the cushion out of the front of the shoe. I still enjoy the wide toe box, even in the regular width size, but they're not as bouncy or comfortable as the 17s. When I wear the 17s, I feel so excited to run. The 18s don't give me that feeling, but they're supportive enough not to hurt on my long runs. I ran a half marathon in them, and my feet felt good. Average trainer, I think.

Was never a Saucony wearer until now! Just bought a second pair because the comfort and support are outstanding. I thought they were only for runners. I do cardio + strength train + walk, and these are perfect still!

I bought this a month ago word for two weeks. The Support broke down in the shoe and the dirt from running outside got into the shoe through the soles of the shoe by the time I got done my feet were covered in dirt.

Too soft
Originally posted on Saucony
I bought this to replace a Ride 16 that I ran many miles in plus NYC. Marathon. The 18 foam cushioning is too soft, especially in the forefoot, I don’t wear Crocs, and that’s what this sole feels like. I’ve ended up keeping shoe for walking around town, but purchased a pair of Ride 15 to run in, a bit stiffer, which I prefer.

I really wanted to like these but the Ride is too soft and stack height too high. Ended up with shin splints.

Best everyday trainer
Originally posted on Saucony
I received my second pair a month ago, same colour, same size. I got high mileage out of the first pair and they were my go-to, all around shoe. When I travelled and only had room for a single pair, these were the ones. They got me through trails, gravel runs and some track sessions. By far the best version of Ride thus far, and I've been wearing rides since the Ride 11. True to size, fits roomy in the toe box area which is ideal for the average foot.

Softened Upper, Same Classic Ride
Originally posted on Saucony
Yes, I recommend this
I bought these about 2.5 months ago and switch between a variety for my runs throughout the week, so they have about 100 miles on them and I tend to wear them on 3-7 mile daily runs. At this point I have decided I liked the Ride 17 better, though they’re comparable in running feel. These continue to have the gusseted tongue that holds it in place nicely. I think the lacing system was an improvement, they don’t loosen nearly as much as the 17s when I’m tying them. Through the arch, I don’t think they sit as tight to the foot as the previous version, which I preferred. The heel upper is thicker with cushioning and so is the tongue, which isn’t my favorite but isn’t the worst. It still sits in the same spot on the foot and doesn’t bother me. My main complaint with these is honestly that they changed the mesh upper in the toe box. I really liked the mesh on the 17s, it held up for 400 miles. One of mine already has a hole in the toe box because this mesh is more flexible and not as sturdy. It might be more breathable or something, but it gives a much looser feel to the toe box, I liked the security and resistance of the previous version. The overall feel is more plush and loose in the upper, though the bottom feels the same. If you haven’t worn a previous version, these are a shoe with good mid-firm cushioning that gives a gentle footfall but doesn’t feel too soft and squishy like the more pillowy shoes. They have a wide base for stability and the wide toe box typical of Saucony without the rest of the shoe being wider.
