The upper of the shoe is much lighter and more breathable as it features a new technical mesh that also improves the fit of the foot inside the shoe.

The design and brand logo are modernized and, in our opinion, improve the visual appearance of the shoe. The design adopts a more contemporary style reminiscent of the Nike Pegasus 37 In addition, the brand has kept moderate cushioning in the heel area to offer additional support. For those with wider feet, the Saucony Ride 17 is also available in wider versions.

One of the big new features of this new version is in the midsole of the shoe. The Saucony Ride 17 features PWRRUN+ compound, the same material found in the Saucony Triumph. This material is a pearlized TPU variant that offers increased energy return and a softer, more springy feel compared to standard EVA.

The base of the shoe, with a different outsole design but still ensuring good durability, has been modified from the previous version. The Saucony Ride 17 features a wider and more stable base for improved surface contact.
