"The new generation of runners aren't interested in traditional, mid-range daily trainers like the Ride. The new runners want the flashy trainers like the Saucony Endorphin Speed or the brand new Saucony Azura. These trainers are lighter and have more exciting rides. Why would you buy the Ride 19 when you can get the Azura for only $5 more?"
"The Ride 18 which I tested last year was an excellent, no-frills daily trainer that excelled in simplicity. My favourite feature was the thick PWRRUN+ insole that provided a premium level of plushness right below my feet. This year's Ride is a substantial update. Not only do we get an upper and outsole update but the PWRRUN+ in the midsole has also been tweaked."
"While some might view it as boring, the Ride is still a great all-rounder; consistent and adaptable, without any flashy stats. A comfortable and reliable trainer for eating up mileage."
The Saucony Ride 19 serves as a reliable daily trainer designed primarily for easy and recovery running. While the shoe features a reformulated PWRRUN+ midsole intended to deliver plush cushioning with increased energy return, the overall ride remains uninspiring and lacks the bouncy, exciting feel expected from an updated model. The shoe weighs 9.2 oz and costs $145, representing a $5 increase from the previous generation. Despite being a consistent, adaptable all-rounder without flashy specifications, the Ride 19 represents a step backward for the series, offering less versatility than the Ride 18 and failing to compete with newer, lighter alternatives like the Saucony Azura, which costs only $5 more.
