Saucony Ride 19 review: what runners say
Fit
True to size with engineered mesh upper and semi-gusseted tongue that locks the foot down well. Runners with wide or high-volume feet may need the wide version due to additional padding compared to the v18.
Feel
Balanced cushioning with reformulated PWRRUN+: softer and more stable than the v18 without going dead. The wider base provides stability; pace can push up to 4'30"/km without forcing the shoe.
Durability
Expected 700–800 km for runners up to 75 kg. PWRRUN+ foam has a strong track record for longevity; XT-900 rubber coverage on forefoot and heel, with the lateral heel area partially exposed.
Best for
Neutral daily trainer for easy and moderate-pace workouts, long runs up to half marathon and beyond. Best suited for runners up to 80 kg; heavier runners are better directed toward the Triumph.
Weak points
Heavier and less agile than the v18; some find it too sluggish for pace changes. Rubber coverage leaves exposed areas on the lateral heel, with accelerated wear in that zone.
