The Hurricane is Saucony’s most supportive road shoe, and it’s our number one pick in the best running shoes for flat feet guide. Instead of a medial post that jabs into a collapsed arch, it relies on geometry. A very broad base and raised foam sidewalls cup the foot, so the midfoot can’t roll over the medial edge, and no pressure is concentrated on the navicular bone.

On the run it feels soft, protective and smooth. The beaded PWRRUN PB core soaks up road impact, while a late-stage forefoot rocker and bevelled heel keep transitions rolling forward despite the high stack.

The trade-off is weight. At over 10.5 oz it’s bulky, and the firmer PWRRUN frame mutes some of the foam’s rebound, so it’s a shoe for easy base miles and recovery rather than speed.

Who it’s for: runners with flat feet and moderate to severe overpronation who want maximum protection for easy miles.
