Saucony Men's Hurricane 23 Running Shoe

Product Information

Not much has changed on the Kinvara 13. It shares an identical midsole and outsole with the outgoing model, so nothing has changed from a ride standpoint. Our detailed review of the Kinvara 13 is here. Both the Guide and Ride have a similar ride behavior; the only difference is that the Guide 15 has a plastic stabilizer over its inner midsole. DPT/Footwear Science: B+ (Shoe companies are beginning to change how stability shoes function. They are beginning to rely less on a true post and more on stability through other components of the shoe. This allows the shoe to be more comfortable and soft while still providing the support someone needs. This shoe is a good example of that.) A few years ago, when Saucony re-introduced the Triumph with an expanded Polyurethane (aka the Everun) midsole, we thought, ‘Here comes another unoriginal adidas Boost copycat.’

David: The Saucony Hurricane 23 is best at daily and recovery paces. This is not a shoe you are going to be blasting workouts or races in, but if you really have to... the PWRRUN+ midsole still responds pretty well. For me this is my go to easy run shoe at the moment. The weight seems to catch up to me a tiny bit when running longer mileage, but I'm still very happy with it for daily mileage. Dr. Matthew Klein is a 140 lb male with notable PRs of 14:45 for 5k and 2:32:44 for the full marathon. He typically runs 70-100 miles per week and trains at a variety of paces from 8min per mile recovery runs to 4:40 per mile 1k repeats. He prefers firmer and responsive shoes with snug heels and medium to wide toe boxes. He is particular to less cushioned shoes and close to the ground shoes, but can handle a little cushion when he gets beat up. The Ghost offers smooth transitions and soft cushioning for road running and is best for those seeking neutral support. Runners’ World has awarded this shoe several Editor’s Choice Awards. My legs had been perfectly cushioned all the way around the run, without having the energy sapped out of them (as you would expect from a spongy/sloppy midsole). And neither were my legs beaten and sore as if I had been running with an overly firm shoe. David: The Saucony Hurricane 23 is a premium daily trainer with aims at being at the top of the stability category. The shoe utilizes Saucony's PWRRUN+ midsole that leans on the softer and bouncier side of things. The shoe utilizes a plastic posting along the medial aspect of the foot extending from the rearfoot through the midfoot. The result is a highly stable but still forgiving and responsive ride.The upper, of course. It has the familiar lightweight softness of the Kinvara 12, but things are cooler inside due to a partial gusset instead of the K-12’s fully sleeved construction. The fit is still true-to-size. Stability: A (This shoe does exactly what it sets out to do – increase midfoot stability and decrease pronation) Despite its complete redesign, the Saucony Triumph 20 continues to be a deeply-cushioned running shoe that makes long-distance runs easy on the feet.

Brooks does a great job with online fit, the Brooks shoe fit finder will give you an idea of what to look for in a running shoe when you do visit your local store. Even though the Triumph 20 features the same midsole material (Pwrrun+) as the 19, everything around it is brand new. The Triumph 20 uses a reformulated foam for the new model, so the ride is softer and lighter. Our in-depth review has all the details. Saucony nailed it with this upper. It’s a lightweight, engineered mesh with overlays that provide flexibility and structure. Saucony Hurricane 22 Versus Saucony Hurricane 23 They utilize a medial post (which is a device within the midsole that is firmer) to help provide control and a TPU heel plate which again makes the rides slightly firmer and adds control. Thanks to the cushioning, you don’t so much notice the stiffness and reap the benefits. Affordability The 16th edition of the Saucony Ride has even more PWRRUN cushioning in the midsole than its previous versions, providing a softer and more comfortable running experience. In the Saucony Ride 16, an additional 2.5mm of midsole has been added, along with a softer PWRRUNPB insole compared to the previous models, contributing to even more comfort.Powergrid+ is the evolution of Powergrid, which in turn is the evolution of the original Progrid technology. Here you will find the best stability/pronation running shoes from Saucony. They are particularly suitable for runners who need extra support and stability when running. EVERUN is the newest Saucony technology and it’s slowly but surely being incorporated in all new premium Saucony running shoes. The Hurricane 23 scores right in the middle of our flexibility scale, offering a slight flex that adds an extra pop at toe-off. The Guidance Frame uses a medial post that is inherently stiff but balanced out with flex grooves in the midsole and outsole. The Hurricane 23 offers just enough flexibility to deliver a pleasantly smooth ride while still being firm enough to maintain high-quality stability.
