Product Summary
Designed for those with a neutral foot, the Saucony Ride 15 is a lightweight, cushioned, and flexible running shoe. Redesigned with underfoot contouring, the Ride 15 allows the foot to sit deeper in the footbed for a more secure and supportive feel. Softer cushion, a pillowy sockliner, and more foam are featured on this version which is noticed and appreciated by users.
The Ride 15 has a lightweight breathable mesh, increased rubber outsole, and a midsole that is shaped to create seamless transitions from heel-to-toe. According to Saucony, their patented FORMFIT design is a lacing system on this shoe designed to ensure a personalized and secure fit. There are several reviewers, however, who found the Ride 15 to run especially narrow. They are available in a wide version which is worth considering.
