Saucony Ride 10

The shoe was just a simple sidewalk sale pick up at my local running store that so turned into the worst idea I ever had. being my first pair of running shoes in over a year, Saucony iso guide 700 miles, the ride was more comfort and cushion than I was used to. This with the lack of support and staff who recomended it to me looking at my torn sneakers lead me down the path to over traning trying to break them in which lead to a minor stress fracture in my left leg. since then I have turned to minimalist running to avoid this whole banaza again.

The Saucony Ride is a great training shoe for somebody who likes a bit more cushion. I like to race longer distances, like the Half to the Marathon, in the Kinvara, but I train in the Saucony Rides.

I have used these for my past 3 pairs of trainers. I have really enjoyed running in them and I have found them to be the best shoes for my hagluds defect/deformity/syndrome. However I did use orthotics with these shoes as I always have. I also went up a half size in these shoes after the first pair as they seemed to fit better.

When I went to re-up my Kinvaras, my salesguy looked at me sceptically, and tactfully suggested that I was too old and creaky for such a minimally cushioned shoe. (Just turned 51.)

So we tried a bunch of more cushioned neutral shoes, and I ended up with the Ride 10s. Maybe some unconscious Saucony bias there, who knows. Turned out they were being cleared out and on sale, but I didn't know until after I had selected.

They are a touch heavier than the Kinvaras. I do notice and appreciate the cushioning. I have a bunion on my right foot, so the fact they come in a wide width is a positive. I have read that the toe box is not especially roomy, but I am pretty sensitive to having my toes feel cramped and have had no issues.

I don't notice the extra weight too much; I do feel a bit less beat up after a run; they are holding up ok after 250+km.

Long time mizuno wave rider user (I still run in those, just now rotating through two pairs to get more life out of them). This was suggested as a similar shoe to the wave rider, and I’m inclined to agree. I had issues with getting blisters in these pretty badly when I was breaking them in, but haven’t had too many issues since then. Weirdly enough, I like the laces on these a lot more (much easier to tie). Overall, nice and lightweight everyday trainer.

I've been training in the ride for a few years now. When it comes to a solid neutral shoe at a decent price, I feel like I cant go wrong with it. Wish it was slightly more durable though.

Good daily training shoe.

Looking through my equipment log, I can see that the Saucony Ride series has been my "go to" training shoe for at least the past 7 years. Plenty of cushioning, good durability (I get at least 500 miles in them), and usually reasonably priced ($60 for a model that's being phased out to about $110 retail).

Unless I'm injured, I average about 45 miles a week across the year. I use this shoe for all recovery runs and moderate speed work (half marathon to marathon pace). For faster stuff and races, I will sometimes use the Kinvaras, which are lighter but offer less cushioning.

During my 20s, I swore by Saucony - then switched to Asics in my 30s when I'd wear through the outsole in Saucony in ~100 miles.

Saucony's got some great shoes again. The Ride series has a nice bouncy, responsive feel. Light enough that I'll use these for fast track or tempo work, but have no problem doing long runs in them.

So far durability seems good - got about 200 miles and only a small amount of outsole wear.

This is one amazing shoe. Everything about it is nice, was responsive and had very nice cushioning. Starting off it was a little slappy but that went away after a couple of runs. I could run in this for workouts and training runs to long runs and it worked fine. One problem is the durability on the sole, as the lugs wore down quickly, but that didnt affect traction at all.
