Ride 19

$140.00Daily Trainer

The Saucony Ride 19 is a versatile, neutral daily trainer designed for everyday mileage and base training, appealing to runners who prioritize comfort and stability. It offers a true-to-size fit with a breathable engineered mesh upper and a softer, more responsive PWRRUN+ midsole that delivers a balanced, protective ride. While lauded for its versatility, comfort, and good value, it is not ideal for fast-paced efforts, and some reviewers note it lacks the 'excitement factor' of more aggressive trainers, despite featuring durable outsole rubber for multi-surface traction.

Highlights

Balanced, soft-yet-responsive PWRRUN+ cushioning ideal for daily and recovery miles
Secure, breathable upper with improved lockdown and comfortable toe box
Inherently stable platform due to wider base and deeper heel cradle
Smooth heel-to-toe transitions aided by updated outsole flex grooves
Reliable traction on roads and light off-road surfaces

Considerations

Less energetic or snappy ride at faster paces, making it less ideal for speed work
Slight increase in weight compared to the previous generation
Exposed midsole foam on the lateral heel and forefoot may show early wear
Traction can be reduced on wet or slick paved surfaces
Traditional, understated ride character may feel less exciting to runners seeking high energy return
