If you\u2019ve been following along on my running journey, you know I don\u2019t recommend gear unless I\u2019ve truly put it to the test. Shoes especially. The Saucony Ride 17<\/a> has been one of those rare finds that checks almost every box for me as both a daily trainer and a race-day option. I\u2019ve gone through two pairs already, and my last pair carried me through three half marathons. After hundreds of miles, I feel like I can finally give them the thorough review they deserve.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"Race<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
Fit and Feel<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Right out of the box, the Ride 17s<\/a> felt comfortable without that \u201cbreak-in\u201d period some shoes require. The upper is soft but supportive, and the shoe has enough structure to hold my foot in place without feeling overly stiff. I\u2019ve worn them on everything from easy runs to tempo workouts, and they\u2019ve consistently felt secure yet flexible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cushioning and Ride<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

What I love most about the Ride 17 is the balance between cushioning and responsiveness. Saucony uses their PWRRUN+ midsole foam, which gives a soft landing but still enough bounce to pick up the pace when needed. For long runs and races, that cushioning has been a lifesaver for my legs. Even after 13.1 miles, my feet never felt beat up the way they sometimes do in other trainers.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Saucony<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
Durability<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

This is a big one for me, since I tend to rack up miles quickly. The outsole on the Ride 17 holds up incredibly well. My first pair lasted close to 500 miles before I noticed significant wear, which is impressive compared to some shoes that barely make it past 250. They\u2019ve been reliable on pavement and light trails, and I\u2019ve never had an issue with traction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Race Performance<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s the part that really sold me: I wore the Ride 17<\/a> for three different half marathons. Each time, they felt light enough for racing but cushioned enough to carry me comfortably across the finish line. For a shoe marketed as a \u201cdaily trainer,\u201d that\u2019s pretty remarkable. I never felt like I was sacrificing speed or comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Thoughts<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The Saucony Ride 17 has earned a permanent spot in my rotation. It\u2019s the kind of shoe I can lace up for almost any type of run\u2014easy, long, or race day\u2014and know it will perform. They\u2019ve become my go-to recommendation for runners who want one shoe that can truly do it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And because I\u2019m already a fan, I can\u2019t wait to try the Ride 18. I\u2019ve heard they\u2019ve made some great updates, and if they\u2019re even a little better than the 17, they might just be my marathon shoe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gear and Links<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re building out your running toolkit, having the right gear makes all the difference<\/a>. Along with reliable shoes, I swear by quality socks, a GPS watch<\/a>, and a few key recovery tools. I\u2019ll link some of my favorites below for anyone looking to upgrade their running setup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
