Saucony Men's Ride 14 Running Shoe

Product Information

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. What is your impression of the 14? If you’ve run in this shoe in the past as well, what do you think of this latest version as compared with the previous? Let us know in the comments! The only real updates in the 14 were to the upper. It’s a bit more vented, and the ankle collar seems to be a touch lower, which led to some heel slip in my experience. I like a deep heel cup so I am disappointed in this specific update. Plush upper is extremely enjoyable

When partial gussets are done well like they are on the Ride 14, I prefer them over a fully gusseted tongue every time. The added material on shoes with full gussets can tend to be on the warmer side. Ride a bit firm on Ride 14 The Ride 15 feels softer than most of the popular daily trainers out there including the Pegasus 38, Ghost 14, Clifton 8. It also has a much more flexible forefoot so it feels more natural.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 15’s sub 9-ounce weight combined with its lively ride makes it a truly special daily trainer. It has a modern feel which is fun and it has no major flaws The Ride 15 has raised the bar and set the new standard for mid-range, neutral daily trainers. It has an exceptional upper, textbook daily trainer versatility and a high degree of stability. Performance: B+ (Slightly softer ride. Really smooth forefoot, heel still a little clunky during warm up)

Once the foam is exposed to cold (like spending 20 minutes in the freezer), it becomes 26.7% stiffer. The 860 has a more streamlined cut and seems to bring me onto my toes more readily than the Guide, with Guide 14 providing a more substantial-feeling base underfoot. 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. It’s a bit more firm under foot than I think it should be, leaving a bit to be desired in pep and bounce.Personal: A (Nothing overly fancy, in all of the right ways possible, this is a consistent riding shoe that will deliver for many miles) The ever-popular Ride and Triumph series, are perfect for neutral road runners who want comfy cushioning. While running in this shoe, I wouldn’t say the midsole excites the soul, but it’s pleasant and doesn’t feel dull or heavy. This shoe is great for daily training. No break-in period needed At 8.4 oz (238 g), it's more than an ounce lighter than most daily trainers with an average weight of 9.9 oz (281 g). This said the brand stays true to its promise. 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.”

The Ride series have been a group of great training shoes that handle both long and uptempo miles. We were quite impressed with version 13 ( REVIEW) as it overhauled the midsole and upper. With a smoother and slightly softer ride, it continued to be a workhorse trainer. Version 14 has taken a much more subtle update approach. Refinements of both the upper and midsole have made this shoe subtly better. Those that like version 13 do not be afraid! It is all for the better! I actually didn’t notice the weight much while testing which is a surprise and a testament to their ability to get the job done without fanfare or fuss. Should last a long time The plush shoelaces (that my cat likes playing with while I put the shoe on), anticipate the padded comfort of the rest of the upper. For those with flat feet and overpronation, a dedicated stability shoe like Saucony Guide 15 is a better idea. A big no-no for cold conditions 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:Saucony has also adjusted the shape of the shoe up front where the toe box sits a lot closer to the top of your feet this time. It gives it a sleeker profile than its predecessor and again feels like a move to shave off weight without compromising on offering a roomy fit for a wide range of foot types. Performance The past model was not bad but with ample padding throughout the shoe, it’s nice to see a more vented upper material to let as much heat out as possible. Matt: The Saucony Ride 14 shares some subtle updates to the upper and midsole that further refine this already great daily trainer. A slightly softer midsole makes for a bit more forgiving ride, while the upper features a thinner, slightly snugger and more secure Formfit mesh update. The Ride 14 continues on as a stable neutral trainer that drops even more weight, making it start to reach into the realm of a lightweight trainer. For those that want a classic and reliably designed shoe that can handle mileage and workouts, this is the shoe for you.
