The only slightly negative point is the tongue, which some testers deemed too thick.įinally, the outsole does not skimp on rubber to ensure effective traction and make the shoe more robust. Not only it allows air to circulate better, but it also makes the upper more flexible. Also, the upper is much more breathable than before, thanks to a more open mesh design.

The upper is very comfortable and offers an ideal lockdown with the right amount of flexibility and support. In other words, what was suitable in 2020 seems a bit dated in 2021. Let's note that the R14 still uses PWRRUN foam instead of the newer PWRRUN PB, which has the reputation of packing a punch in the energy return department. In terms of cushioning, as on the previous model, some runners noted a slight bounce, while others found the ride a bit dull. Thus, shock absorption is good, but the ride is somewhat rigid. However, the platform is quite firm, according to the testers. The Saucony Ride 14 is a comfortable and versatile shoe with a high stack cushioning: 32 mm under the forefoot and 24 mm under the forefoot. Version 14 continues this trend with few changes. Far from being eclipsed, the Saucony Ride has consolidated its status as the ultimate daily trainer with practical and classic cushioning. Very good running shoe for daily workouts with firm but effective cushioning2020 was a special year for Saucony-besides the worldwide circumstances we all know, obviously-with the great success of its Endorphin range.
