Expert Review Sources

  • Running Lab : 89.3 / 100 — « Built by Saucony around the PWRRUN midsole, the Ride 17 impresses in real-world road testing with its secure midfoot lockdown and consistent cushioning. Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for daily trainer training. »
  • RunMag : 92.3 / 100 — « Built by Saucony around the PWRRUN midsole, the Ride 17 delivers a smooth, dependable ride powered by its PWRRUN midsole. Its upper lockdown and outsole durability on road make it a standout contender at $150. »
  • RunRepeat : 88.6 / 100 — « The Saucony Ride 17 is more than just a minor update—it's a significant overhaul, especially with the all-new midsole that enhances energy return and responsiveness. In our lab tests, we were impressed by its superb durability, remarkable stability and the spacious upper, perfectly accommodating wide feet for a superbly comfortable fit. Despite its strengths, the Ride 17 has some limitations. It remains somewhat heavy for its stack height, and, in our lab tests, the new mesh upper fell really short of our expectations for breathability. »
