I've always liked Saucony shoes. It's super easy to find last year's model for half off, I was using the ride 15 tr for the last three years for backpacking and everyday stuff. I just switched to the aura tr because I burnt a hole in my ride 15s.
Which model are you asking about, exactly? I have run something like 1,000mi (and up to 50K / 6hrs at once) in two pairs of the Saucony Ride 15 TR model. That's the one that I can recommend 100% for hybrid terrain, up to a certain degree of wetness (the lugs won't suffice when the terrain becomes too muddy).
Saucony Ride TR is an excellent hybrid model.
I’ve had all the color options of the Ride15s and this was my fav!
I have the Ride 15 TR too. I use them for road to trail and really like them.
Yes! My Ride 15s are probably my favorite daily trainer I've had, so I figured the Ride 15 Trail would be equally nice.
I went with the Ride 15 TR since I really like my Ride 15 road shoes. They were great!
You’re right. I have xodus 4 and peregrine. If only they puts Vibram into peregrine will be a great shoes. Ride TR is a door to trail shoes..
If you're running mostly road, I'd lean more to a road trainer - something with a moderate (or lower) stack height for stability on the trails. Especially during the summer, a lot of mid level trainers (Nike Pegs, Saucony Rides, NB Rebels, etc) should be fine on most trails and will better serve you on a majority of your runs.
I share your love of the endorphin edge, but it’s not coming back sadly. Ride Tr, Guide Tr, Xodus and peregrine are all you’re getting from saucony as far as trail shoes go. They’re trying to pare down their lineup as they feel it’s been too saturated with different models.
