Review: Saucony Fastwitch 6 running shoes
A more traditionally-styled run shoe that delivers brilliantly
Saucony ProGrid Cortana
As you’d expect given the brand name and the top-end price, Saucony’s ProGrid Cortana delivers on many fronts: supreme fit, light weight and vibrant styling. There’s good support from the upper on first wear – in particular at the ankle – which provides great reassurance and an excellent ride. And it’s not at the expense […]
Saucony Paramount 2
The first thing we noticed with the Paramount 2s was the amount of support around the middle of the foot. Sadly, this was counteracted with the rigid ride underneath the heel, which we’ve never experienced with Saucony before. The end result is a well-cushioned, flexible shoe up front that offers some decent support, coupled with […]
Saucony Omni 8
Shoe technology has progressed rapidly in the last few years, particularly for runners who require support when their foot rolls inwards. It used to be the rigid anti-rollbar that did just that, but, while perfect for pronators, this made the shoe feel solid and unresponsive. Fast-forward to 2009 and a supportive shoe like the Omni […]
Saucony Grid Fastwitch 3
The Fastwitch has a very light, fast feel to it from the highly flexible outsole and midsole through to the snug and highly breathable upper. The shoe shows it’s possible to build a minimal racer to give overpronators some support while maintaining all the properties needed for fast running. The ride is soft so some […]
Saucony Type A 2
The Type A is an out-and-out racing shoe. Starting with the upper, it has a degree of stretch in the materials, allowing for a snug fit without feeling restrictive. And given the weight of the shoe – just under 200g – the cushioning is fairly effective with a soft feel. Of course, as the shoe […]
Saucony ProGrid Guide
The strength of the Saucony Guide is that it suits a wide spectrum of runners. The cushioning rides well for runners of a wide range of weights, the transition from heel to forefoot is fine and it has no problems coping with forefoot strike. The fit is true, with an upper that holds your foot […]
Saucony Elite Short Sleeve
From a composition point of view, the Elite from Saucony takes a ‘keep it simple’ approach but with a few notes of designer-added flair. This top has been constructed from one type of Polyester fabric across several panels in two colours to produce a pleasant contrast. The fabric is fairly standard without any real bells […]
Saucony Omni LX
Although these tights are one of the least feminine-looking pairs around, they’re also one of the warmest. Made from Saucony’s soft-brushed dryLete fabric, the tights have a comfortable next-to-skin feel that keep your legs warm from the moment you step outside. The fabric has been designed to provide thermal regulation and wick sweat away from […]
Saucony Elite Speed Henley S/S
The specification list for the Saucony running top boasts a proprietary ‘wicking’ material with an SPF of 50-plus. The functional feedback was also positive, offering good levels of overall comfort, which was probably due to the more stretchy material. The moisture control wasn’t among the top performers on test, though, and without any mesh or […]
Saucony Elite
Traditionally a runner’s brand, ?Saucony has spread its wings and moved into the tri market. The Elite suit is its female-specific tri-suit, which is new in name but not in construction, as it’s simply the renamed Athena tri-suit. Like the Athena, the first thing you notice is the overly large size. On the plus side, […]
