Saucony Men's Ride 14 Running Shoe

Product Information

DPT/Footwear Science: A- (Softer midsole coupled with forefoot flexibility and sole flaring make for a nice platform and fun geometry, however the bevel could further help refine this ride to smoothen it out more) Guide to Hurricane is similar to Adrenaline to Transcend (now replaced by Glycerin) in the Brooks lineup.

Performance: B+ (Slightly softer ride. Really smooth forefoot, heel still a little clunky during warm up) New Balance’s 860 is also a comparable shoe, with a 10 mm. drop and similar weight, in the half-size larger 860 that my foot needs. The flex grooves carved into the outsole let it bend easily as your foot moves from landing to takeoff, which promotes smooth transitions.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. You’ll see a difference between the Ride 13 and Ride 14 when you compare them side by side. Reviewers unanimously appreciated the speedier look and low-profile silhouette, and the new colors stand out. But, if you’re a fan of the Guide line, you’ll get the same reliable stability. Flat- feeling transition, but oh, the upper feels so cozy, even miles into the run. 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.”

Based on our caliper measurements of the platform, it is a little bit wider than average in the forefoot (114.8 mm).DPT/Footwear Science: B+ (Great forefoot flexibility, nice naturally stable ride. Bevel could be a bit more aggressive) Guide 14 jumped out of the box with a look that matched its later ride; “Hi, I’m a standard shoe of quality build, a bit old fashioned in technology (medial post; I’m lookin’ at you). Since you ran in 90’s Gel-Kayanos for years; I’ll feel like home.” My first run in the shoe actually felt refreshingly light as I had been running in Gaviota 3. I ran some fast-paced intervals amid traces of melting snow from spring!
