Not only for its name, which is hard to pronounce, but also for its performance, the Saucony Breakthru 2 attracted attention to the point of being catalogued as one of the best mixed models on the market. Well, with its third release, this Saucony model continues to gain ground and climb the ranks among the most demanded Running shoes by popular runners.
And is that the Saucony Breakthru 3 come stomping with a complete redesign that make it a rising valor, thanks to its versatility.
Of course, one of the most significant changes in the Saucony Breakthru 3 is the incorporation of the EVERUN Topsole system, giving the model a more constant and responsive cushioning. Thus, the previous PowerGrid material gives way to the revolutionary EVERUN foam, although the Breakthru 3 will also continue to include the SSL EVA compound to make that cushioning much lighter.
On the other hand, the improved fit of the Saucony Breakthru 3 comes from a new upper, which has opted to include an engineered mesh, which is seamless and offers a softer feel. This renewed material functions as an inner strap, wrapping the midfoot with an optimal fit.
The new sole configuration of the Saucony Breakthru 3 also features the Tri Flex system, already seen in reference models such as the latest versions of the Triumph ISO, the Kinvara, the Guide or the Ride. With this material, the shoe will gain a more flexible footprint than in previous versions.
In the technical characteristics of the Saucony Breakthru, things remain more or less the same. Drop of 8 millimeters - 26 mm heel height and 18 mm forefoot height - and similar weights of 246 grams for the men's model and 223 grams for the women's model.
