The updated PWRRUN+ midsole delivers lasting comfort and responsiveness across the board.
The upgraded PWRRUN+ midsole delivers a softer and more responsive ride with better energy return.
Out and out, they proved to be a comfortable and consistent companion.
Heres a deeper dive into how I got on testing the Saucony Ride 18.
If you require a wide-fit version of the shoe, the colorways available are more limited.
This beaded TPU foam is lighter, more durable, and delivers a springier, more energetic ride.
Right out of the box, the cushioning feels plush underfoot, but it doesnt sap energy.
During tempo sessions, the added bounce helped maintain momentum, making faster paces feel easier.
Its noticeably more lively than the Ride 17, especially when picking up the pace.
The material helps provide solid traction and extra stability to the shoe.
While I havent run in much rain, the outsole has performed well on muddy paths.
Ill update this review if my experience changes in wet conditions.
It felt fast and responsive during intervals, which helped me pick up the pace without holding back.
However, I did notice that the shoe felt a little snappy during faster paces.
