I am the satisfied owner of many Saucony shoes and run trail races and I still skipped this model after reading reviews.
I did once see someone come in first at a parkrun on pavement with them which was kind of wild.

And as a precious commenter said, this is not a hiking shoe, it's a trail racing shoe with a carbon plate.

Mind sharing the other models you prefer, Endorphin? Looking to get a Saucony for light hiking/running.

The Peregrine is their main line trail shoe. Run and hiked hundreds of miles in multiple pairs. I also like the Xodus if you want more cushion.

I have the Endorphin Rift for races, but I wouldn't really recommend it that highly for more relaxed use as the upper rubs me a bit and it just generally prioritizes weight savings over comfort.

I'm an experienced ultra runner, I've posted on Slickdeals about my thoughts on running shoes a lot in the past. Including this shoe on a past deal. I'm a top 10-20% finisher in a 100k, 50 miler and 100 miler all in 2024.
I purchased these shoes on sale about 3-4 months ago. I too was nervous about a few reviews out there saying they're roll prone, but because I've had such amazing experience with the Xodus and Peregrine line, I took a gamble.
These are right up there with the greatest trail running shoes I've ever run in. Full stop. I'd have a hard time choosing these over Speedgoat 5's or 6's. And what's more, I have an extremely weak left ankle. I ran two of those races last year in a brace. I've had zero issues with my ankle in these shoes and I'll be wearing them for my Zane Grey 50 miler in 1 week.
This is a fantastic price. I would highly recommend this shoe to anyone who wants to try it.

FWIW, ignore the reviews and give it a try. I think you'll love it if you love other Saucony's.

Saucony is a struggling shoe brand. The parent company has been losing money for several years. The stock price is down over 80% since 2021. They have a lot of debt. Saucony's annual sales revenue has been stagnant for 3 years and the brand's market share has been on a downward trajectory for the past decade.
Saucony was wear testing an Endorphin Edge V2 last year but apparently that project was abandoned. The Endorphin Rift, arguably their most decent trail offering, was unceremoniously discontinued last fall. Saucony has basically pulled the plug on their Endorphin trail line. The Endorphin trail models just never gained any traction with consumers. The endeavor got off to a rocky start in 2021 with the Endorphin Trail which had to be pulled from the market due to a midsole chemistry defect.
The CEO quit and his replacement was fired in 2023. The current CEO is running the company a like private equity chop shop. He sold off units and cut licensing deals for some of the company's brands. The new CEO is hyper focused on containing costs and reducing debt. Innovation has been deprioritized. In fact, some of the brightest minds at Saucony have decamped for other footwear companies. Saucony shoes are mid to meh. It's a shame to see Saucony go down the toilet.
