Saucony Ride 19

Saucony Ride 19 review: what runners say

Fit

True to size with a semi-gusseted engineered mesh upper. Runners with wide or high-volume feet should consider the wide version due to the additional padding.

Feel

Balanced cushioning, soft without going mushy: the reformulated PWRRUN+ delivers adequate energy return for daily runs and recovery. Not suited for uptempo work or threshold efforts.

Durability

Reliable estimate of 700–800 km for runners under 165 lb. The PWRRUN+ compound has a solid track record; one note: rubber coverage is limited to the lateral heel, an area that shows early wear.

Best for

Neutral daily trainer for runners up to 175 lb. Covers easy running, recovery, and long runs up to half-marathon and beyond. Handles paces down to 7:15/mile without strain; not suited for interval training or threshold work.

Weak points

Some reviewers find it less responsive and versatile than the Ride 18, perceiving it as sluggish and reluctant to change pace. Rubber coverage on the outer heel is absent, with visible wear appearing within the first few miles.
