[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love a great tennis shoe to be active in and I had not heard of the brand Saucony before so happily pleased when I tried on the women’s Ride 17 tennis shoes. My feet were instantly put into a super cushiony shoe and felt comfort and support. Great color combination of navy, blueish gray and mustard. Love all the other detailing which makes this shoe attractive and pure comfort.
Love saucony , but received used product from REI and have to return it.
The cushion is thick and I was worried it would be too much, but it’s pleasantly responsive and springy! Perfect for road runs, not as great for speed/track workouts. The arches fit mine well. I like the way the tongue is attached to the walls of the shoe so it doesn’t slide around. The outer sole is wider at the base, so I’ve had a tendency of catching my feet on the sides of the shoes and it’s torn the PWRRUN+ foam’s exterior up a bit quickly, I’ve only had these for about a month. Also the colored print on the tongue bled onto the shoelaces, which I’ve found a bit difficult to tighten all the way down the lacing every time. The flaws I’ve noticed, though, are minor compared to how they run! But there is always room for improvement in the bells and whistles of a shoe.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don’t run so I use them mainly for work. I am on my feet all day and walk around the store a lot. I do like that the shoe tongue is attached to stretchy material on the sides, it helps because it won’t it slide in while putting on the shoe. They are lightweight which is good. They look durable. Love the breathable material and the thick sole but they are not as comfortable as I expected but comfortable nonetheless.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
I have run in Rides for over 8 years, have trained for and run multiple ultramarathons in Rides. The 17’s are absolute garbage. The foam looks like something your TV comes wrapped in that you throw away & they are much wider than previous models of the same size. The shoe cannot be tied securely on my foot & my foot slides around in the shoe. The sole is paper thin & will not stand up to long miles. Find an older model online or buy a different shoe, these are a huge waste of money

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My normal brand of running and walking shoes discontinued my style so was looking for a new shoe. From the moment I put these on I knew they were the ones. Super comfortable and very supportive and cushiony. My feet don’t hurt after a run or walking in them all day in hard surfaces. I absolutely love these, they are like running and walking on clouds. The upper is very breathable. Will definitely be buying these again!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are pretty active and definitely need shoes that will last, but mainly are comfortable and supportive. These shoes of those and they are holding up nicely to date. The style, in my opinion, is very nice also. Inside they have a comfortable arch that is comfort/yet not spongy or sharp. The fit is true to size. By the way. this will not be my only pair!
Worked great for 4 months…then got a hole in the heel. I really don’t run a ton, so the fact that these were damaged that quick was a real bummer. I’ve had much cheaper shoes last much longer. Quality is not there. It was my first pair of Sauconys and unfortunately it looks like they’ll be my last :/

I bought this shoe in July based on my Podiatrist recommendation. I only wear them during the day at a medical office. After 4 months of wearing them, they no longer have any shape left to them. I don't usually write reviews but for the price that I paid, they are not worth it.
It's not a new pair of shoes; it's a pair that has been worn before. There are no tags on the shoes, and they look a bit old. The signs of wear are quite obvious, and even the previous owner's purchase receipt is still in the box.
