Ride 18 Trainers

The shoe is great, but the last iteration and this one suffer the same issue, the sole. The way the crevasse in the bottom is designed it creates a suction cup effect, especially on wet ground, that is not just annoying to hear but causes some slight delay in your stride and ultimately depending on how long you may be running it does add to fatigue because of it, even if it is slight.

Best version of the ride yet.. please no major changes for next style

The Ride is one of my favourite go to shoe from Saucony. It is a true runners' shoe in the sense that it is the total package; cushioning, flexibility, and responsiveness with a touch of inherent stability. The updates of the Ride see it getting lighter, with improved cushioning and fit. I recently did a 50k rail trail race and they held up well; my legs weren't as beat up as they usually are after a long race. It is a great shoe for just about any type of run including hard tempo efforts and Marathon paced efforts. If you didnt want to spend cash on a plated trainer, then this could be a single quiver shoe for the conscientious consumer. My only concern is that the rubber on the outsole is beginning to wear quickly. Although it is likely an aesthetic issue, it is something worth pointing out. Overall, I believe the shoes will last a long time due to the amount of overall cushioning and I will continue to pile up the miles on my new Rides.

I bought the Ride 18 a few weeks ago and have worn them twice for a total of about 3 miles on a treadmill only. I felt like I had been running barefoot on concrete. My feet and legs were aching so bad. I’m not sure if the insoles or cushioning is defective or not, but I expected more from such a reputable company. I am pretty sure I can’t exchange or anything now since they have been worn. Disappointing.

I purchased these shoes, my first Saucony shoes, after decades of running in another brand. What a revelation! I was excited to see just how good these shoes were running on the rural roads where I live, and I was left elated. I call them the sports car of running shoes. The ride is responsive and comfortable, and they weigh like nothing I've ever run in before. I highly recommend these shoes!

These shoes are great right out of the box. I wear them around for walking as well as running on pavement and trails. They are my favorite shoe and when they wear out I will for sure be buying another pair.

Just perfect!!! No need to say anymore PERFECT!!!!

Ride 18’s are a great daily trainer. I like the fit, cushioning and upper. Don’t know why the sole design has a medial landing bias? Hopefully it’s fixed on Ride 19.

I am using these shoes for my marathon training. They are so comfortable.

Had a pair of Saucony Ride 15's that I refused to retire, when I finally did I replaced them with the 18's 10miles in on them and they are perfect. Just enough cushion and bounce back to make your run fun. The first time I took these out for a run I was grinning ear to ear, these are a great shoe and look forward to many runs in them.

Been a Saucony fan for years and very pleased with my new Ride 18

I switched from Mizuno Wave Rider to Saucony due to toe box size. I've had major pain and some injuries due to Saucony shoes. WAY too soft. Now looking for other shoes.....

I tried many brands. I found this shoe was very comfortable for every day use. I use them for walking! Is a well balanced shoe and love the color!!

I have been taking running serious for about 5 years now. Prior to my Ride 18 by Saucony I had ran many miles in other running shoes. My initial run in the Ride 18 shoe felt different in a very good way. I have an extreme case of plantar fasciitis and these shoes accommodate me well. The shoes are light but sturdy enough to support me during my runs. Once I put the miles in on these I'm sure I will replace them with another pair!
