The midsole's progressive cushioning offers a soft initial landing followed by a firm push-off phase, best zero drop running shoes.

Advice for Road Runners: The Saucony Women's Ride 18 Running Shoes feature a newly formulated PWRRUN compound. The result? More energy return and softer landings.

Underfoot Feel

The premium PWRRUN cushioning in the Saucony Ride 18 Running Shoes should feel lighter, softer and more responsive than the previous version.

With 3% more midsole volume, the Ride 18 should also feel more cushioned.

Extra forefoot flex grooves should lead to smoother transitions from landing to take-off.

Finally, additional outsole rubber offers more traction. This is likely to improve the durability too.

Upper Fit

The Saucony Ride 18 Running Shoes feature an updated engineered mesh. However, the shoe last is the same as the previous edition. This means wearers of the Ride 17 Running Shoes should opt for the same size in the Ride 18 Running Shoes.

The upper also has fewer overlays - which results in a sleeker profile. Additional foam in the heel area should improve comfort levels.

Ideal Run Type

The Saucony Women's Ride 18 Running Shoes should perform very well for everyday runs. This is because the midsole should feel comfortable at slower paces, and energetic if you pick up the pace.

While the Ride 18 are not max-cushioned running shoes, the high-degree of cushioning is ideal for longer-distance runs.

Sizing Advice

Shoe size is a personal preference and everyone's feet are different, but we want to ensure you avoid any pain or discomfort from bruised toenails, rubbing, blistering or pins and needles.

Your running shoes should have enough width to allow you to spread your toes and should have some space at the front (we recommend having a half to one thumb's width of space from the end of your longest toe to the front of your running shoes).

This usually means thatyour running shoewill beat least a half size bigger than your regular shoe sizethough this can vary from brand to brand.

The lightweight midsole material offers responsive bounce-back with minimal weight penalty, distance running shoes.
