Saucony Mens Ride 16 Running Sneakers Shoes - Grey

These shoes are comfortable and very stylish however, all of the blue pads on the bottom of the soles have come off. I have had to glue them back on. I suggest not purchasing these unless you want to glue your pads back on every few months great brand poor purchase.

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).

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!

Long review here… Over the last 1.5 years I’ve become an AVID runner/jogger! I literally run at least a 10k every single day before clocking in for work each morning! I’ve went from 330+ lbs to now being at 180+or- lbs and I give the credit to my daily runs I do. I can’t quit thinking of running until I get it done for the day, obsessed I guess.. NOW to the shoes… I have a “Neutral” foot with regular arches. This is my 7th running shoe to buy since March 2022, 1st pair of Saucony ever tho I’ve always liked the style of them. I’ve had the 1. NB 1080s v11 (I like these), 2. 880s v11 (I really liked these), 3. Hoka Clifton 8 (hurt my toes a lot), 4. adidas ultra boost 20s (this was my 1st pair to buy for running when I began, purchased size 11 and I really messed up my toes, and toe nails with these. I literally had a few toenails come off - come to find out after going to fleet feet I needed an 11.5! love the look of these shoes but had to move on! 5. NB More v3 - didn’t even do 2 miles in these before I took them off! Too big of an offset! Returned day after receiving! 6. Brooks Ghost 14 - I liked these. Very similar to the NB 880s! In 101 days I had put just under 800 miles on these shoes. The liner was coming off on heel of shoe and the liner had a rip in them on the right shoe - bound to happen from getting drenched in sweat everyday and drying in front of a fan to be able to go again the next day. Overall I was pretty happy with these! Same as 880s and I also liked the 1080s as well!! 7. The Saucony Ride 16s - I called and spoke to a rep at fleet feet and asked/compared a couple shoes, 880s v13, Ghost 15s, or Ride 16s. They recommended the Ride 16s for their durability! I ordered on June 14, received June 15, 1st run on 16th. I will say I usually do treadmill since I’m usually running at 4-5am. But I do like going outside when I can. To start, I have REALLY liked these shoes. I can even say these just may be my favorites. I’m trying all these different shoes to try and find my “Go-To” brand for running since I’m still a bit new. We did go on vaca to Florida last week so I had to do outside runs for 1 week which I didn’t mind at all. The town was awesome, had special lanes just for running/walking and another just for bikes. UNFORTUNATELY, I did find Saturday night, 7/1/23 (shoes are only 2 weeks old) that a part of the sole on the bottom of the shoe had come loose and was hanging down. I was in a hotel on way home so I still did a treadmill run. After this run I found another part of the sole had come loose both on the left shoe. I ONLY wear these shoes when running, that is it, so about 1-2 hours a day. Strictly used for running (all of these shoes were only used for running- no leisure wearing). So I am a bit disappointed in this. I have submitted a defect to Saucony and hope they replace! I threw the shoe box away since I like the shoe so much I knew I was keeping them. I really want a replacement pair bc I really do like these shoes just really surprised that I’m just2 weeks I have 2 pieces of the sole on bottom left shoe come loose and hanging! Only have about 120 +or-miles on these shoes so far. The shoes are very responsive, the offset is nice, cushioning and comfort is top notch. My literal only complaint is the 2 pieces of sole coming loose! Otherwise, if I get a replacement I just may be sticking with Saucony for a while. We shall see. If not, I may go back to the NB 880s, tho I do feel the Ride 16s are a little more comfy I believe, but 2 more newer versions on the 880s have come out since the pair I had. So I give these shoes 4 stars would be 5 if not for this defect! If they replace the shoe for me I’ll update to 5 stars. I know sometimes things like this can happen to any good brand. Just hope they make it right! I know these shoes are “only $140” but that’s still a lot of money to me so I don’t take spending $140 on shoes lightly!

great sneaker. lasted for a long time with daily use

I have been running in the Saucony Ride for over 20 years and they never disappoint. If you have a neutral foot and a medium to high arch, this shoe is perfect. It has just the right amount of cushioning and a wider toe box for a little more space for the toes. I do recommend sizing up at least a half size to ensure enough space between your toes and the top of the show. I normally wear a size 7.5 and I always purchase an 8.5 in running shoes. I am a fairly high mileage runner, so I usually get around 4 months from the shoe, but if you are medium to low mileage you can probably get up to 7 months of comfortable wear and walkers could get up to a year.

I absolutely love these shoes. They are a perfect blend of being soft but not too soft. This is my second pair, after I put several hundred miles on the first pair. These Saucony's offer great fit, with the sole being wide - but not too wide. The insole is also supportive and soft without feeling squishy (which is what I didn't like about Asics running shoes). Highly recommend these, as they come in awesome colors and have great support!

This is my second pair of the Ride 16 and I really loved my first pair! Ran through the mileage on them and got a second pair. I noticed the feel was a bit firmer and didn’t seem to break in as much as my first pair. Didn’t personally like that as much. But not the end of the world. After only 40 or so miles I completely lost a piece of each shoe’s outsole. Didn’t stop me from running in them since they were the shoes I on hand, but I reached out to Saucony customer service. They were unwilling to stand up for their build quality and help me out short of offering a nominal discount during an ongoing sale, which of course could not be combined with any other sales/discounts. IE they did nothing. It seems others have had very similar defects which is a bummer. I’d like to continue using the shoe for its fit, but I don’t want a repeat of this issue.
