There is no shifting and sliding around with the gusseted tongue of the Ride 15. In addition, it's padded enough (4 mm) to prevent the shoe's rather rough laces from digging into the skin.Matt: The Ride 14 continues to a stable neutral shoe. There is a heel counter that wraps almost into the midfoot, yet is still cushioned enough that it did not irritate my heel. The heel bevel is smoother now thanks to the softer ride. The wider outsole last really helps in the midfoot as it is more consistent with the rest of the shoe. The very flexible forefoot helps continue forward progression. Saucony shoes also tend to have a little higher arch, which does give a little more proprioceptive cue into the medial arch. This isn't arch support necessarily (certainly not a post), but can still be supportive. Classically Saucony, there is also medial and lateral midsole flare throughout the length of the shoe. Those that need mild support (me) will do fine in this shoe and those sensitive to posting/arch support will not notice this. Ride 15 weighs more than an ounce less than the Ride 14, 1.3 ounces to be exact! I don’t ever remember a running shoe shedding this much weight from one version to the next.

The Ride 15 holds the foot snugly like an ideal hug. And in the forefoot, there's ample space for the toes to wiggle and splay comfortably. The Ride’s upper has such a cozy feel,” she says. “The tongue is padded and cushy on the top of my foot, and the heel collar conforms to my foot perfectly.” Personal: A (Nothing overly fancy, in all of the right ways possible, this is a consistent riding shoe that will deliver for many miles) Saucony included a padded tongue to alleviate pressure on the top of your foot, and they sewed it into a partial bootie for a precise fit. The upper gives the Ride a comfortable fit and soft feel, one tester says.

Saucony Ride 15 First Impressions

This shoe is lighter than Gaviota, yet I rated the latter higher as it is a pointedly solid shoe with a stand-out midsole that is soft yet supportive. One of the weight-saving factors is the minimal use of rubber on the outsole. The stripes are rather thin and are strategically placed in the areas that are most prone to abrasion. Often, a brand makes many big changes and the shoe becomes unrecognizable. This is true of the Ride 15, but it’s a very good thing. The Ride 15 is more versatile, more comfortable, and more energetic than any previous Ride. While the Ride 14 is still a reliable everyday training shoe, Saucony made a few updates to improve the fit and feel. From the ground up, the Saucony Ride 15 has been reworked to take comfort up a notch and strip down the weight (1.7 oz / 48 g lighter). It has:

My first run in the shoe actually felt refreshingly light as I had been running in Gaviota 3. I ran some fast-paced intervals amid traces of melting snow from spring! The new Ride 14 looks and feels sportier than the 13,” one reviewer says. “It's protective enough for big training cycles, but the sleeker look and nimble feel give it serious versatility. Those funky colors don't hurt, either.” Whether you’re doing an easy run or logging uptempo miles, the running shoes you wear for most of your workouts need to be comfortable. Thankfully, the Ride 14 delivers a classic, straightforward fit. The flex grooves carved into the outsole let it bend easily as your foot moves from landing to takeoff, which promotes smooth transitions. The Saucony Ride has always been one of the most consistent trainers from update to update. Each Ride had a very similar feel to its predecessor: versions had minor incremental changes and consistency was what the Ride was known for.

Saucony Guide 14 Conclusion

At 10.15 ounces (286g) the Saucony Ride 14, is no lightweight, but it doesn’t weigh your feet or legs down. Guide to Hurricane is similar to Adrenaline to Transcend (now replaced by Glycerin) in the Brooks lineup. For a neutral shoe, the Saucony Ride really impressed us with its steady platform. We believe that it comes from the combination of the midsole shape, the foam firmness, and the fact that our heels sit deeper inside the shoe. Once the foam is exposed to cold (like spending 20 minutes in the freezer), it becomes 26.7% stiffer. Designers wrapped the Ride 14 in a lightweight mesh upper for breathable performance. The upper is seamless inside and out, which gives it a sleek look and mitigates the chance of rubbing or chafing.

Based on our caliper measurements of the platform, it is a little bit wider than average in the forefoot (114.8 mm). Designers trimmed a bit of weight from the shoe, too, but it was already a lightweight trainer, so you probably won’t notice much of a difference.

DPT/Footwear Science: A- (Softer midsole coupled with forefoot flexibility and sole flaring make for a nice platform and fun geometry, however the bevel could further help refine this ride to smoothen it out more) Saucony kept its FORMFIT system for an adaptive fit depending on your unique stride, and they maintained the TRIFLEX outsole for good traction and flexibility. Even the PWRRUN midsole is the same, which gives it the same dependable ride as before. But, if you’re a fan of the Guide line, you’ll get the same reliable stability. Flat- feeling transition, but oh, the upper feels so cozy, even miles into the run. Performance: B+ (Slightly softer ride. Really smooth forefoot, heel still a little clunky during warm up) DPT/Footwear Science: B+ (Great forefoot flexibility, nice naturally stable ride. Bevel could be a bit more aggressive)
