And this automatilly ups the pace on your runs regardless if I consciously try to race or not. The fact is that once you have tried these shoes, Saucony Ride 14 will automatically feel more firm and responsive rather than soft. Is it due to the fact that I have been a bit brainwashed or rather dazzled by shoes like Hoka’s Bondi and New Balance’s Fresh Foam More V3? Perhaps… But still I include a small 'but' in terms of the 'allround'-concept when I recommend Saucony Ride to others. Thanks to Saucony’s PWRRUN midsole foam, Saucony Ride 14 is responsive and cushioning, which also often characterizes a versatile running shoe. Saucony Ride 14 is considered to be an allround running shoe which can be used for shorter and longer distances at different pace. In addition, it should be mentioned that Saucony’s FormFit technolgy - which you will also find in Saucony Ride 14 – provides the shoe with an adapted fit which anatomically works better than in many other running shoes. But I was more or less able to resolve that issue by using the top hole for the laces. This is because the upper has become slightly lower below the ankle, so the upper doesn´t have the same tight grip around the foot as in Ride 13. I can´t say that I feel as safe when I use Saucony Ride 14. I have earlier said that Saucony Ride 13 is the most stable neutral-running shoe, I have tried. The heel cap in Saucony Ride 14 feels as firm as it did in Saucony Ride 13. But now I have had the chance to wear Saucony Ride 13 and Saucony Ride 14 at the same time and I don´t feel a difference. At a first glance, it looks as if the logo at the same time works as a reinforcement around the midfoot towards the heel cap.

The logo on the side has grown bigger and longer and you also have 'Saucony' printed on the back of the shoe which makes Saucony more visible as a brand than in previous models.
