Buy Saucony Men's Progrid Ride 5 Running Shoe

Customer Ratings:

I ran my first marathon in a pair of these and now I'm on my second pair. I've drifted around trying all sorts of running shoes and these are my favorites so far. The Ride 5 weighs less than the Ride 4 (mostly taken off of the heal) which is awesome (because I have a mid-foot strike so the heel padding would be no benefit to me anyways)! As I run I've noticed they are lighter. The laces are great and I've never had a problem with them coming undone even with sloppy knot tying.

Switched to these Saucony shoes from my Addidas that had a much higher heel-to-toe differential. I went from 12mm to 8mm. It actually helped my plantar condition in the left foot. I will be purchasing another pair before this year's style is dicontinued! (They seem to change them every year as soon as I find one I like)

As far as colour I have 2 pairs of the blue/black/orange but there are other colours if you prefer. Although, the darker colour doesn't show the dirt as much. I found that I needed the new pair after about 3 months of running 15-25 miles per week because the cushioning was breaking down and I had worn a significant amount of tread off them.

Best Deals on Saucony Men's Progrid Ride 5 Running Shoe

Running shoes are obviously a personal purchase because everyone has different running styles and foot types but these shoes have worked out well for me. I would say I have average feet (don't over or under pronate much) and I can tell when I need to get new shoes because my knees will start to get a little sore. I run 40-50 miles a week including at least one long run of 9-11 miles. I also think they are a good value for the price.

Honest reviews on Saucony Men's Progrid Ride 5 Running Shoe

After purchasing the Saucony Ride 4 to try to save some bucks on the higher priced Ride 5, I was disappointed by the heavier, "chunkier" 12mm heel on the Ride 4 which Saucony remedied with the lighter, faster, more responsive Ride 5. Saucony makes a really comfortable running shoe for both training and racing; for purely training, the cheaper, older Ride 4 version may suit your needs just fine for a bargain price of around $60-$75, but I highly recommend the Ride 5 over the 4 because of its lighter, more responsive 8mm heel which will make a difference on those shorter, faster runs (5k & 10k runs.) Spend the extra $25 or so and pick up a pair of these, you won't be disappointed!

After wearing this line for a number of years I purchased my first pairs of this updated shoe. I must say that they have ruined a great line of trainers by succumbing to the minimalist craze that has been sweeping the running scene. They did not change the overall feel of the shoe. The toebox is still nice and snug and I really did not notice the lowering of the heal. What I did notice was they have removed too much of the heal cushioning and it now feels like running on concrete.

They have lost me as a customer with this "update" to the line.
