The Saucony Ride 17 is a performance-oriented running shoe designed for runners seeking enhanced energy return and responsiveness. This shoe is ideal for those requiring ample width, as the upper accommodates wide feet effectively.
Lab tests indicate that the midsole offers significant durability and stability, with measurements supporting its robust design. However, the weight is notable given its stack height, and the mesh upper's breathability did not meet expectations based on our evaluations.
