Saucony - Ride TR2

In addition to these, the Saucony Ride TR2’s have been great for me as long as you don’t need more advanced features like a rock shield

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.

Saucony Ride TR2 is a pretty decent option- feels like a road shoe on the road, but also feels solid and stable on trails. Not an aggressive lug, but if it’s not too sloppy/ slippery they would be decent. I use them as a daily shoe where I have about 3km between my house and the trails.

I use the Saucony TR2 and also have wide feet. They are fine for a couple of km on pavements but drag easily if you run tired and don’t pick your feet up. Once you hit the gravel, grass, or mud then they come alive.

I just picked up the Saucony Ride TR2 after a recommendation on this sub. I took them out for a spin today and really liked them. They're not quite as soft as the regular Rides (which are my favourite daily trainer) but compared to the Juniper Trail 2 which I'd been using previously they were like clouds.

Saucony Ride TR is an excellent hybrid model.

+1 for the ride TR2. Love mine. I’d say try them on though as I’m not sure I’d call them wide, unless they do a wide version. Or try the mens.

I quite enjoy Saucony Ride TR, but even regular Rides are fine. Asics Fujitrabuco max are nice too.

I love Ride TR. They’re an amazing daily trainer on road to trail, or gravel days. Wear amazingly well, I get 700-1000+km with the Rides and Ride TR is currently at 445km with visibly no wear. Endorphin Edge weren’t that great imho, I guess it depends on what you like but they were a bit worse than the competition in longer races with plusher foam, and they weren’t that fast for shorter stuff. Xodus Ultra were amazing, I went through five pairs of gen1 but haven’t tried others. Saucony do tend to tinker with their shoes a bit too much in my mind, and I think that puts me off. Kinvara, Ride and Xodus were all very different shoes compared to the current iterations - so why reuse the name? ISO structure was also a bit meh, they could have just changed the name instead of dropping ISO from the name.
