Saucony refuses to make an upper that lasts even three weeks. They know if they put a quality upper on these expanded thermal polyurethane cushion soles, then all of their customers will have no reason to buy new shoes every six months. Don't buy anything like these shoes from Saucony. The thin nylon separated the soles after a couple months of mild use, and even worse, all of the (decorative?) trim was falling off within three weeks. I was shoe gooing them repeatedly. Total junk.
Feels good when initially on but fit very close and is uncomfortable for walking as my toe is close to the front also rubs my heel on my right foot. I bought my regular size so was a bit thrown off. I would size up if buying for walking
Love the look & comfort of this shoe - you can still feel the trail and they have decent traction. Only issue is the grey outer color wore off on the soles and exposed the white substrate after only a few months of moderate trail running & hiking. Saucony should used solid color throoughout (like Hoka) so this doesn't happen.
If Saucony’s regular running shoes fit you, and if you enjoy the fit and feel, then these will also be good for you. I might start using these as my everyday “walk-around” shoe because they are good on hard surfaces too. They give more side-to-side support, which is awesome because regular street running shoes are an ankle sprain waiting to happen if you landing halfway on the edge of the sidewalk. I appreciate that puddles of water won’t cause your socks to get wet. Bottom line is they are great shoes and somehow manage to both feel like Saucony street shoes but also not feel like Saucony street shoes, yet require zero break-in if you’re currently running Saucony.
This color combination is really ugly.The sides of the shoe sole are prone to cracking.
I bought these hoping for an all-arounder city walker that will last. I spontaneously went running with them and was presently surprised. The fit and cushion was better than the Xodus 1 (the collar of the latter was too high and pressed on my ankle bones). These feel cushy but firm, and snug when locked down without annoying pressure points. And the construction feels better than my previous Xodus shoe. Only time will tell if the tread will hold up - that was the weakest link in the Xodus shoe, which only lasted about 6 months of similar use (city walking, occasional running). I bought a size 10.5 M and it feels great, decent width, similar to my past Ride 15 shoe. Hoping for durability up to a year. Also, I wish they had an all black model without grey highlights.
I bought it in 2023 and I have been wearing it for 3 years this particular t2 trail running shoes and now I can’t find it anymore size 6.5 I need to buy atleast 5 of them please help I really need it for my nursing job it helps so much to stand for a long time whoever made this shoe thankyou so much
Comfortable out of the box. However, they don’t feel like they have a rock plate. Just one run thus far involving a wharf. I could feel the wharf bolts poking through to my forefoot. My Hoka Bondi shoes feel like they have more protection when running across jagged surfaces in trail runs. The description says that they have a plate. Are you sure about that? Disappointing to see that the foam coating rubs off with rock scuffs. Otherwise a great looking shoe.
Have purchased numerous mfg’s performance tennis shoes with saucony being the best all-around shoe especially for my neuropathy. For my primary areas of exercise and golf game i found stability and their cushioning ahead of all the rest. Being in my mid 70’s will stick with PWRRun+ for the foreseeable future
I’ve never had a pair of shoes with this much foam so maybe this is normal but my arches want to collapse inward when I am wearing these. It feels very strange and the fit of the rest of the shoe is very narrow. Usually I go for sauconys wide options but I don’t think this one had a wide option.
