The Saucony Cohesion 9 running shoes have become one of the most popular choices for beginning runners, mainly because of their affordable price and the good quality materials and technologies that have been incorporated into their design.
While more experienced runners may miss the shoe's increased cushioning and responsiveness on long runs and fast paces, the Cohesion 9 offers good performance for average runners with a neutral stride and as a daily training shoe.
The midsole uses Power GRID technology, an injection-molded EVA foam that creates a single surface over the entire length of the shoe that provides better shock management when making contact with the ground.
Because the heel area of the shoe is the area that tends to bear the most pressure, the Heel Grid system has been placed, which offers an additional cushioning zone that supports the foot very well and prevents damage and discomfort.
To add extra cushioning, an inner insole is included which can be removed at the runner's preference, which also makes it easier to incorporate an orthopedic insole if necessary.
The upper design of the Saucony Cohesion 9 has been improved over its predecessor versions by optimizing its appearance with more reflective materials. Each color scheme used for the models of these shoes makes a perfect combination of light and shadow to achieve a modern upper that attracts a lot of attention.
Although more overlays have been included than in the previous version, these are now thinner, yet they maintain the structure of the shoe well and allow it to fit comfortably on the foot without being restrictive; the fit is also customizable thanks to the laces so the shoes fit well no matter the width of the runner's foot.
The tongue and collar secure the foot while maintaining comfort; they have been designed to "enclose" the foot, but also to maintain the level of comfort while reducing possible irritation. All materials used in the upper of this model provide a well-ventilated, comfortable and secure shell.
The XT-600 material used in the outsole of the Saucony Cohesion 9 is made from the highest quality components to protect the shoe from wear and tear caused by constant use and abrasion from the terrain to which it may be exposed. The rubber present in this technology also offers greater traction thanks to the design of lugs that can be clearly seen on the outsole, which by their size also maintain flexibility for a more natural tread.
A comfortable, reliable, pleasant shoe with a modern color palette, offers us this ninth edition of the Saucony Cohesion, which has managed to position itself among runners for its features and its affordable price.
