Best Saucony Running Shoes 2023

The Saucony Ride 16 is the best Saucony running shoe for everyday training because it delivers reliable performance day after day.

Saucony’s PWRRUN foam gives you a lightweight and cushioned feel that is still firm enough for a responsive ride. Your foot sits deeper into the footbed of the shoe, rather than on top of it for a more supportive, secure and plush sensation.

The Ride 16 also has a breathable and comfortable upper that provides a great midfoot lockdown. All of the runners loved how the soft upper, plush heel collar and padded tongue create a cozy, locked-in fit that works for a variety of different foot shapes in our Saucony Ride 16 review.

The Saucony Ride is a comfortable, versatile performer that can handle whatever workout you throw at it.

The Saucony Guide 16 is a lightweight stability running shoe that delivers comfort mile after mile.

A HOLLOW-FIT guidance frame and the midsole geometry that cradles the foot provide the stability and durability your foot needs if it overpronates. This way, your shoes wear evenly and you stay comfortable longer.

The PWRRUN foam provides a lightweight, comfortable and springy ride with smooth transitions for the duration of your run. Our reviewers loved the soft, yet stable feel in our Saucony Guide 16 review.

This is what dream runs are made of.

The Saucony Triumph 21 provides dreamy cushioning and lightweight support thanks to Saucony’s PWRRUN+ midsole foam. The foam provides plush cushioning to absorb shock as you land and adds a propulsive pop to your take-offs. Plus, its midsole geometry features rocker-like attributes for effortless heel-to-toe transitions throughout your run. Our runners loved the luxurious feelings, especially while running up and down hills in our Saucony Triumph 21 review.

The Triumph 21 features a new upper and lacing design, so it will fit your foot better than ever before. A durable outsole gives you the grip you need to hit top speeds, and it protects your shoe through heavy mileage.

With all that foam, the Triumph 21 isn't just one of the best Saucony running shoes, but it's one of the best cushioned running shoes too.

The Saucony Endorphin Speed 3 is a lightweight shoe with an energetic pop that will keep you going mile after mile.

An alternative to aggressive carbon-fiber plating, the Endorphin Speed 3 uses a winged nylon plate sandwiched in between Saucony’s plush PWRRUN PB midsole foam. The composite plate creates a ride similar to running shoes with carbon-fiber plates but is a little more flexible, which makes it better for training days.

This version has even more of Saucony’s PWRRUN PB foam to create responsive and speedy shoes that are as comfortable as they are fast. As a result, the Endorphin Speed feels supremely bouncy underfoot without weighing on your muscles.

Built on Sauncony’s trusted PWRTRAC rubber lugs and PWRRUN cushioning, the Peregrine 13 is a more cushioned and comfortable update to the trail running classic.

Saucony redesigned their PWRRUN midsole foam to make it lighter and increased the overall stack height of the shoe to give you even more cushion underfoot. The result is a responsive and cushioned ride while the bendable rockplate provides extra protection as you take on uneven terrain. The PWRTRAC outsole gives you superior grip and traction to dig into a variety of trail surfaces so you can run confidently in all conditions.

Take your next trail run to new heights in the Saucony Peregrine 13.

Streamlined and fast, the Saucony Kinvara 14 remains the best Saucony running shoe for speed workouts, up-tempo paces and setting PRs.

The Kinvara 14 is a flexible and feather-light neutral running shoe that gives you just enough cushioning to rack up the miles without adding any unnecessary weight. The updated mesh upper is airy and breathable to shed weight so you can reach top speeds.

Saucony’s PWRRUN foam is light and responsive, and Saucony added even more of it to this shoe. Designers also changed the geometry to give you a rocker-like sensation and engineered contoured sidewalls for quick turnovers, which makes the Kinvara perfect for speedwork as you prepare for your next race. Our reviewers loved how the Saucony Kinvara felt and performed during speedwork, “The Kinvara really sings at faster paces,” one tester said in our Saucony Kinvara 14 review. “The cushioning feels a little more responsive as I pick up the tempo. I was smiling and cruising in no time!”

The Endorphin Pro 3 is a fan-favorite racing shoe for everything from 5Ks to marathons. The newest version runs fast as ever—Saucony maximized the cushion, making the Endorphin Pro 3 one of the premier running shoes with carbon-fiber plates on the market today.

A responsive carbon-fiber plate lays on a stack of Saucony's responsive PWRRUN PB foam to create a running experience unlike any other. Saucony’s curved SPEEDROLL shape propels you forward to get you to the finish line fast. The combination of spring and cushion makes the Endorphin Pro 3 a great racing shoe for marathons and short road races alike.
