If practice makes perfect, then Saucony running shoes are some of the best shoes on the market. As one of the oldest running shoe companies in the world, they’ve been setting the pace since 1898. Saucony is best known for their racing styles, but they also make shoes perfect for walkers, beginning runners, and experienced pros. Their motto is “We exist for runners,” and we’ve definitely found that to be true here at Goodmiles. We love their super soft PWRRUN and PWRRUN+ cushioning, podiatrist approved designs, and secure FORMFIT uppers that hug every stride.
Check out our updated recommendations for which Saucony shoes are best for different kinds of movers, and stop by Goodmiles Greenfield or Goodmiles Brookfield to see our full selection and get additional advice from our Fit Experts.
