I have 3 pairs of these same shoes. I run 40 miles per week. This is a stability shoe which is great for overpronation if you struggle with that. The shoe is a maximum cushion option that works well for being on your feet for a long time. Long runs are great in these shoes. Great for walking and doing errands as well. Ideally they are meant for longer slower run pace. You can run fast in them but they are slightly heavier shoes meant for the support aspect versus the speed aspect. I have about 450 miles on my first pair of these shoes and they held up very well. Second pair has 200 miles and the third pair is still in the box. Enjoy!!

These fit narrow in the heel and average in the toe box, but are otherwise excellent if that is your foot shape. They have been this price mostly for a year, and not necessarily a deal.

I had a pair last week, and just returned them. Not a bad shoe but not as comfortable as I hoped they would be. They are fine for the money...but I tried Vomero Plus on the week before at my Nike Outlet and they were twice as comfortable for the same price. These were more stable than the Nike though if that is important for you.

thanks for sharing your input. def need something with more stability and support. the current UA infinite i had been using had started to get real uncomfortable. i think i got a corn on my foot bc of it. i usually do cardio 4-5x a week(2-3 miles each time) so they wore down pretty quick after maybe 10 months of use

If it's discomfort from the foam, the Saucony PB foam takes a couple runs to break in - I was also very close to returning but ended up keeping them after break-in.

The shoe: fantastic - made with Saucony's PEBA foam, meaning it'll have great durability, be responsive in the cold, and have more 'bounciness' to them compared to regular runners.
Stability: if you normally run in classic stability shoes, this isn't for you. This is a new form of "guidance" rather than sticking a bulky/stiff post on the inside of the shoe. I normally run in neutral runners but wear Hurricanes for longer runs where my form's not so good.
They take a few runs to break-in and the stock ortholite insole is premium but a bit mushy feeling (this was the main change for the 25 version). Throw a PEBA insole in em and get 25% more energy return.

Saucony does not do the Foam/Cloud feature as well as others. Some not all of their footwear can have thick foam soles and still feel stiff
What is your info based off of? While running shoe foams are confusing, Saucony foams are #1 in 2026 and have been top 3 since 2020. Here is a good reference: https://runrepeat.com/guides/runn...dard-foams
Saucony's 2020-2025 foams can be a little stiff in the store because they require 3 runs to break, which Adidas Lightstrike Pro also requires. The tradeoff is you get a far longer lasting, bouncy, and protective foam (PWRRUN PB) in low-mid/high end than competitors.
Their 2026 foams are the softest and bounciest on the market (Incredilux/Incredirun) - creating the lightest max cushion stability shoe (Hurricane 26), the softest max cushion runner (Triumph 24), and the most forgiving & bouncy supershoe (Elite 2/3).
Asics/Nike/ON/New Balance foams are stuck in 2021. Other brands keeping up with Saucony on foam:
Adidas (Dreamstrike > Hyperboost Pro > Lightstrike Pro)
Mizuno (Enerzy NXT > XP)
Puma (Nitro > Nitro Elite)
If you want the details, read the page above and thesoftness/energy return numbers on RunRepeat. Doctors of Running's biomechanics reviews are also a great resource: https://www.doctorsofrunning.com/

I bought two pairs of Saucony running shoes and they both felt exactly like my cheap ASICs with thin hard soles.
I purchase one pair of NB Fresh Foam and I was very impressed with the quality. Nuff said...
AND.... as far as online reviewing businesses. I do not place too much stock on their opinions. Most of the time they are bias.

wait⌠are you generalizing a whole brand from one shoe?
You probs had PWRRUN/+ which only come in the budget Saucony shoes, yes it is firm.
Highly encourage you try something with Incredirun and Incredilux which are both 70% softer than FreshFoam while being lighter and having 50% more energy return.
I run 4000km/2500mi a year and go thru a lotta shoes.
Fresh foam is very soft yes but they become bricks after 350 KM and have low energy return. NB's premium fuel cell foam is also very heavy, slow, and dies too soon - I have had four shoes with this from Rebel to Pacer to Elite v4
