Introducing the Saucony Ride 17: Softer and bouncier than ever before! Thanks to 35 mm of cushiony and responsive PWRRUN+ foam in the midsole, the Ride 17 packs more comfort than most other mid-cushioned running shoes.
This is a shoe that will elevate your recovery runs, keeping you feeling a bit springy even on the most sluggish of runs. An engineered mesh upper gently hugs the foot for a supportive fit in the heel and midfoot while leaving plenty of wiggle room for your toes.
It all comes together to make the Saucony Ride 17 a shoe that punches well above its weight.
WHY PACERS CARRIES THESE SHOES:
When we refer to a running shoe as a workhorse daily trainer, it often conjures images of a somewhat clunky and boring shoe that serves a purpose but doesn’t do much else.
The Saucony Ride 17 challenges that stereotype with this update.
A full-length PWRRUN+ midsole that delivers plenty of cushioning for whatever mileage you want to throw its way while providing a responsive and enjoyable ride. Your daily trainer should be versatile – capable of handling easy runs and faster efforts alike – and the Saucony Ride 17 offers that running shoe that can truly do just about anything you want.
WHAT’S NEW:
The Saucony Ride 17 offers a more cushioned and soft step-in feel that previous iterations of the shoe. The Ride 17 features a fully revamped PWRRUN+ midsole that offers both a softer ride and greater energy return than the PWRRUN midsole of recent versions. With a fully gusseted tongue and additional ground contact, you get a supportive feel throughout the shoe for a ride that is both stable and fun.
