In their words
“The Saucony Ride 16 is a versatile daily trainer, and it provides a soft ride throughout my runs. It’s comfortable, has good outsole grip, and is capable of being my shoe for most runs outside of faster intervals. It is true to size, comfy and breathable. The only minor thing for me is the opening of the upper is a little too narrow to easily slip the shoe on. All in all, a great all around daily ”

“Giày chạy rất êm chân thoải mái. Tuy nhiên đế rất tệ, chạy mới được 1 tháng đã bong hết ra. Cảm thấy quá thất vọng về sản phẩm lần này!”
