Saucony Ride 18

Saucony Ride 18 review: what runners say

Fit

True to size. Upper is more structured than the v17, with improved heel lockdown and a wide toe box for toe splay. Narrow for wide feet.

Feel

Balanced cushioning with PWRRUN+ in the midsole and insole: firm platform with solid energy return. Manageable from easy pace through tempo runs.

Durability

Expected to exceed 500 miles per sources. XT-900 outsole with adequate coverage in dry conditions; reduced grip on wet surfaces.

Best for

Neutral daily trainer for high mileage, suitable for runners of all levels. From easy runs to long runs; not recommended for those seeking pure responsiveness on uptempo sessions.

Weak points

Insufficient grip on wet asphalt, consistently reported across all sources. Minimal update over the Ride 17: runners who own the previous version have no urgent reason to move to the 18.
