Saucony designs the Ride from the ground up as a balanced, all-round running shoe that fits well for almost any runner. In our best running shoes for Achilles tendonitis guide we highlighted its relatively wide toe box, which makes it very comfortable for wider feet, and a mesh upper that hugs the foot consistently.
Its heel offset helps ease tension on the Achilles while you run. It’s not as pronounced as the Brooks Ghost, but it’s enough to make a difference. The current Ride 19 continues the line.
Who it’s for: runners wanting a versatile daily trainer, especially those with wider feet.
