Full details

FAQs
Are the Saucony Ride 18 suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the enhanced PWRRUN+ cushioning and comfort features make the Saucony Ride 18 well-suited for marathon distances, providing sustained comfort and energy return.
How does the PWRRUN+ midsole compare to previous versions?
The PWRRUN+ midsole in the Ride 18 is approximately 25% lighter than the previous version, offering an improved balance of softness, responsiveness, and energy return.
Can these shoes be used for gym workouts or cross-training?
While primarily designed for running, the stable platform and cushioning offer decent support for some gym activities. However, for specific cross-training movements requiring lateral stability, dedicated cross-training shoes might be more appropriate.
What is the expected lifespan of the Saucony Ride 18?
Like most running shoes, the lifespan is typically between 300-500 miles (500-800 kilometers), depending on running surface, gait, and maintenance. Visible wear on the outsole or a noticeable decrease in midsole cushioning are signs it's time for replacement.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are suitable for dry to slightly damp conditions but not for running in heavy rain or through puddles.
What size should I order?
Refer to the size chart provided by Saucony and your current running shoe size. It is often recommended to have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Adjust the lacing system. Ensure the tongue is properly positioned. If discomfort persists, consider if this is the correct size or width for your foot.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
The midsole cushioning naturally degrades with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles, or when you notice a significant loss in shock absorption.
Poor traction on wet surfaces
The XT-900 outsole provides good traction on dry surfaces. For very wet conditions, run with caution as traction may be reduced. Ensure the outsole is free from debris that could affect grip.
Feet feeling too warm during runs
The engineered mesh upper prioritizes breathability. Ensure socks are made of moisture-wicking material. For extreme heat, consider lighter socks if possible.
Pros and Cons

- Excellent cushioning and shock absorption due to the PWRRUN+ midsole.

- Breathable upper keeps feet cool and comfortable.
- Versatile for various running types, from long miles to casual jogs.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Saucony Ride 18 trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a secure but comfortable fit before your first run.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and general fitness activities. They are suitable for neutral runners and those who may need mild support. They are not intended for highly technical trail running or extreme weather conditions.
Care:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft cloth or sponge. Do not machine wash.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposing them to prolonged dampness or extreme temperatures.
