Saucony Men's Running Shoes

Product Information

THOMAS: After the double-digit miles, the bottom of my feet felt beat up the following morning. Maybe I’m too pampered by softer foams these days. MEAGHAN: We all thought the Axon was a one-hit-wonder, but here we are again, with the Axon 2. No one asked for this, Saucony, but we’re all pretty happy about it. The Good MEAGHAN: As Ryan noted, this shoe is not soft underfoot. The giant slab of Pwrrun paired with the rubber outsole is not a forgiving combo. I like this shoe for easy days, but definitely not for a true recovery day. THOMAS: I thought the Saucony Axon would be a one-and-done experiment. The shoe seemed like an afterthought and launched with basically no fanfare. It just sorta showed up.

With that in mind, the Saucony Axon hits the mark in both aspects. With all that cushion underfoot, and quality PWRRUN cushion, I was able to comfortably for 10, 12, and 14 miles. The absence of extra softness is understandable since this durable daily trainer also needs stability to satisfy heel strikers and pronators. Adequate behavior under cold temperatures All applicable customs and import duties and any other charges are the responsibility of the customer.There’s really no break-in period on the Saucony Axon. The upper is stretchy enough to accommodate most feet right out of the box. Other measurements taken in the lab revealed that the upper width of the forefoot is 94.2 mm and the midsole width is 110.8 mm. This explains the shoe's wide base that gave us stable landings, no matter the distance. Cadillac of easy run shoes,” it is a series of premium, highly-cushioned trainers, perfect for building up the mileage.

The Axon 2, in a US size 9, weighs a mere 282 grams—not only does it break the psychological barrier of 300 grams for a daily trainer, but it also manages to outperform the previous Axon, although it only does it by 1 gram. A win is still a win, right? A certified bruiserYou’ll need something more rugged to go off the beaten path and explore the forests and mountains. Here is an overview of the brand’s dedicated trail shoes.

However, there is something about the compound that lets you down on wet concrete/asphalt. I have run now 5 times on wet surfaces, and have felt the shoe slip each time. In our lab, we weighed the Kinvara 14 to be 194 g (6.84 oz)—that’s an epic 74g (2.61 oz) of weight difference against the average weight of road running shoes at 268g (9.45 oz). Over the years, the brand has developed a wide range of running shoe categories for any type of run: easy, fast, race, trail, mud, etc. The sections below will help you make an informed decision on which models match your needs.

The Saucony Kinvara 14 has wings for the feet. Aside from being extremely light and ultra-breathable, it also feels smooth and natural. A speedster shoe without the stiffness brought by carbon plates, it is also fairly cheap for what it offers. Hence, the Kinvara 14 is our choice for the best lightweight Saucony running shoe. Stability: A ( Very stable throughout. Good solid platform with great geometry coupled with the midfoot integration of the guide rails and midline grooves. This shoe runs like a stability shoe in most ways, but still under the neutral category.) Under this foam, they used a durable rubber outsole that has logged more than 100 miles in my usage and still looks fairly new. This rubber offers outstanding grip on dry, solid surfaces. Delivery timescales are esimates in working days; Public Holidays, Saturday's and Sunday's are NOT classed as working days. Again, the shoe’s cushion stiffness remains an issue for runners who prioritize softness. And wearing a shoe that’s harsh on your feet will be a dealbreaker for some regardless of how smooth the ride is.
