Saucony - Ride TR2

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 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.

+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 like the Ride TR2 for winter time road or anytime packed gravel road. It’s an interesting niche but I find I keep buying it for certain uses. My Endorphine Edge was a great shoe to run in but they were torn to hell after ~40-50 miles. I’m heavier runner and not light footed but absolutely no durability. Also really liked the Ultra Ridge GTX! Great hiking shoe or deep snow trail shoe!

I find that the Saucony Ride TR2 disappears under my feet just like the Glycerin 21 does. It has a similar ground feel and fits just the same for me too. It’s a marketed as a road to trail shoe but it can easily handle all sorts of terrain except for mud.

What’s about the Ride TR2? They’re more cushioned and bouncy than the older TRs and just lovely to run in.

Saucony Ride TR2. They’re marketed as being a road to trail shoe but I’ve found that they’re great on pretty rough terrain as long as you’re happy with a higher stack. I love them.

Saucony Ride TR2 is perfect for this. It’s well cushioned but stable and grips on all sorts of surfaces.

The Saucony Ride TR2 feels exactly the same as the Ride road shoe. They’re marketed as a road to trail shoe but I find they’re great on pretty rough trails too.

I you like Rides then you should definitely look at the Ride TR2. It’s the R17 with a road to trail outsole and some slight changes to the upper. They’re great on anything except for mud and also incredibly durable.

Saucony Ride TR2 works very well for me. It has plenty of cushioning and the outsole works well on pretty much any surface including quite technical or loose stuff.

Saucony Ride TR2 does this kind of thing very well as it’s a daily road shoe with a light trail outsole. It’s cushioned, stable, bouncy and has enough grip for most situations.

The Saucony Ride TR2 might be the answer. It’s basically the Ride 17 road shoe with a light trail outsole plus a bit of reinforcement to the upper. They’re nice and plush by trial shoe standards without being unstable, but they can easily handle fairly rocky trails.

Ride TR2 is a great shoe for this

The Saucony Ride TR2 is an excellent road to trail shoes which fits quite wide. They have a lot of cushioning too and feel like a road shoe rather than a stiff trail one.

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.

That's weird! I literally wear Saucony in freezing rain and snow. Mostly Kinvara, but also Ride and Speeds. Peregrine for trails.

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 TR is an excellent hybrid model.

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.

Altra Outroad is specifically designed for this type of running if you can tolerate the zero drop. If you need some drop, check out Brooks Divide, Hoka Challenger, and Solomon Sense Ride. Others have mentioned the Pegs and Saucony Rides. I've run in Hoka and Saucony and loved both for their versatility. Great for running in sloppy conditions in the fall and winter.

Saucony Peregrines for me too. I have their Edge Pro and Ride TR, but I love the peregrines the best
