Ride 17

It depends on you and your goals. The idea of a rotation is having a comfy, easy, miles shoe. A tempo, interval shoe and a long run shoe. They will be different. Firmer, cushioned, rocker, stable, less stable. Its also about sharing the load to your feet, knees, hips and muscles to prevent injury. I currently use saucony ride 17 for easy, boston 12, interval tempo, and nimbus 27 for long slow runs. They work for me to a degree anyway. So, two or three depending on your routine and goals.

What you wanna do is get two pairs. A stability shoe, brooks glycerin gts or asics gel kayano And stable neutral shoe. Superblast 2 and rotate between both. Always running in stability shoes is not a good idea, but rotation is a good idea. I overpronate on the left foot and get shin splints. I run neutral, saucony ride 17, when I can feel my shin splints starting I switch to stability till healed. Then back.

Saucony ride 17 or 18. Very durable shoes.

I got the 15 pretty cheap at a Winners here, and while I'm normally a Kinvara guy, they were nice and light and good for easy days.  Then I got the 17 to replace them. Clunky and heavy, they're no fun to run in. I still use them for long runs in case that extra cushioning actually helps, but I don't enjoy them. I'm back to Kinvaras for almost all my runs.

If Saucony works for you, Rides maybe? Light, 8mm drop, stable. They're firm not plush but I use them for long runs and easy days.

The ride had big changes at the 15 and 17. It seems like they are doing a tick-tock iteration where every year it alternates between small update and big update. The 17 and 18 have an almost identical midsole but the 18 has a much better upper and is lighter overall. Rides are also tanks. They last forever compared to some other daily trainers

Peaked at the 15 though. The move to the 'fancier' foam in the 17 actually made that shoe my least favourite shoe ever and I'm a huge Saucony fanboy. ETA... Think I'll take them out for a spin tonight - just a short social club run.

Same here, loved my 15 and was disappointed by the 17. Can't really explain why it's not as good though.

I have the same rotation and am also looking for wide super shoes because of a mild bunion. The Elite v4 irritates my left Achilles due to its hard heel counter. My current rotation further includes the Topo Atmos (wide enough, but not a racing shoe), the EP3 (too narrow), and the Saucony Ride 16 and 17 (Wide). I'm eagerly waiting for the RunRepeat review of the Elite v5, but I might go for the Cloudboom Strike (not the LS version). However, I'm concerned it might also have a problematic heel counter.

The Saucony Ride 17 in navy blue with the brown outsole is fire. I specifically bought it so that after retiring it I would be able to wear it casually.

I'm 6'6" 210, the Ride is a good daily trainer that is really durable. I had 2 pairs of the 17's that lasted 400+ miles.

I got 800 miles out of Saucony Ride 17 (although I didn’t like Ride 18 as much) I reliably get 500+ out of Nike Pegasus. Got a pair of Evo Sl approaching 500. ASICS Novablast and NB Rebels feel great at first but loose any responsiveness after a couple of hundred miles.

Ride 16 is one of my fav daily trainers and the 17 is maybe the worst shoe I’ve ever run in. No idea how they fucked it up so bad
