It’s comfort over everything in the Ride 16. Perfectly balanced with cushioning where you need it, this shoe is truly built to do it all. From the minute you lace up, you’ll experience a smooth fit and feel like never before.

Consistently quality shoes
This is the 4th pair of Saucony rides I have gotten and every pair I have every had has been my favorite pair of shoes. For me personally they fit my foot very well but in general they are light and have good cushioning but often go on sale and are very affordable.

It grew on me
5’11 , 176lbs. I usually run about 6 to 7 miles at a time. Here is my thought after 2 months with this shoe.Initially, I found the midsole felt a bit too firm, and its width was narrow for me. Although I had read plenty of reviews in runners’ communities indicating this shoe is far from cushiony but rather firm, I still didn’t find it very comfortable at the beginning. In fact, despite having narrow feet, I found the shoe too tight, and my soles even became sore during the first run. The only thing I found great was its lightness.However, it totally changed after a week of breaking in.This shoe is still not the most cushiony one out there, but there is enough cushioning to be felt. These are still a bit firmer ones on the market, but I now find it perfectly balanced between comfort and responsiveness. I know many people prefer ‘hyper cushiony’ ones, and I was one of them, but thick cushions do not always guarantee comfort in the long run. Now I find this shoe comfortable and reliable even for hours of running. While some people may expect more from this shoe, I believe it's a great choice for any type of runner in this price range ($55 ~ $65).

Unfortunate run in
The media could not be loaded. Unfortunately, we got a defective pair. Not even four miles out on them and the bottom tread has come off partially. Turns out they were returned once already, hoping that had nothing to do with it. Grateful for easy Amazon returns.

EDIT: Uh Oh! Previously: These are great!! EDIT: so great i got a second pair.
EDIT UNFORTUNATELY NEEDED:You can read my glowing review below. These are my second pair. After a couple months, the tread in the sole started coming apart, adding an extra note to my gate. Yeah, I found it kinda neat musically, but everyone I walked around was annoyed. I eventually pulled the loose piece off. Many more have followed. A lot of people feel funny about a person with holes in their shoes. I also got a hole in the toe, much quicker than with my first pair.I tend to hold grudges when it comes to these global rotten companies, in the business of making money, not shoes. I won’t get more dramatic than that, as I’ve come to understand that in some industries, there’s no better choice. Still, I’ll likely never by Saucony’s again. (Again, not trying to be dramatic, but I don’t want to waste my money. There are plenty of options out there. I see these are 50% off now. I’ve had cheaper shoes last longer than this second pair of The Rides. … maybe if I heard they axed all their upper management and board of directors. Something crazy like that, or if they were free or only a couple bucks. Thats why I say never again. It’s not a boycott, but it might as well be)Now I have to find the new companies saying that they’re different, when only their marketing is. Modern problems, I guess.——————-_I sent away for a pair of Karhu ikonis. I really liked them. They were soft but supportive. They looked cool. But…. They were a bit narrow, and the arch support hit in front of my arch.I sent them back for these, and it’s really worked out. The shoe fits my foot right. Its also soft yet supportive. Plus! These have a noticeable bounce or rebound, which feels pretty awesome tbh.I stair climb (real stairs and escalators). Some website recommends these. I can’t remember the organization, but they recommended these, new balance 1080s, Karhu Ikonis, and a few others, for stair climbing.I got thes for about 60 bucks less than the Karhus. It’s a bonus.Stupid point: Karhus are more of a conversation piece or more exotic. Many years ago, sauconys were this way, but now they’re universally known.That said, I still think they’re pretty cool.I’m using them now and they feel so good! I’m usually a normal width, but lean wide. The Karhus were too narrow. The Rides fit just right, to the point that I considered sending them back wides. I’m just saying that you might want to try a wide if you sometimes need to buy wides. They’re wider than your pumas, of course. This last paragraph seems pointless. The width is in the normal range.I’d get a kick out of it, if a fellow stair climber read this and it helped them out. Best of luck to you regardless. I hope you find the right pair.EDIT: so I bought a pair of the New Balance 880s after these. I wanted to love them, but it was as though the insides were reversed. None of the support hit my foot the right way.I don’t rarely by a shoe twice, but I didn’t want to screw around. I got a boring grey pair this time. They’re fine, but the first pair I had were black, with white and silver trim. Those were much doper than these great ones. They have peach aglets on black laces. Very cool.I don’t care that my new ones look boring. They feel great!

Good neutral shoe
Ordered the Ride 16 Marigold/Lava shoes on October 30, 2023 and I have 295 miles on them to date. Very comfortable when I wore them during the Chevron Houston Marathon. There have been no issues with the treads peeling off as other reviews have mentioned.The one minor inconvenience I've had is with the flat laces. They tend to come untied easily, so I just double-knot them now.

Poor quality upper
Bought these in Feb 2024. Have been wearing for less than two months and there is a rip in the upper! Shoe has a snug fit but comfy sole. I walk in these 3 days a week 1-2 miles. I also wear them around town. Love the look but the material on the upper is poor quality and rips easily.

Great Neutral running shoes
I got evaluated at a Running Room and was proposed to try different shoes but ended up selecting the Ride 6 (at the time), then I purchased Ride 7 (First pair was defective, second one I did a marathon on it and loved them), then I got a pair of Ride 14 wide (and that was horrible), now these Ride 16 are amazing, really significant improvement over the 14. I love it, because I do not need to go the store to pick the size :)
