The Saucony Switchback ISO shoe is a new bet of the American firm for adventurous runners. And these trail running shoes have many points in common with the Freedom ISO 2, its upper renewed in one piece, the EVENRUN technology, the serrated outsole .... Many similarities that many experts in the brand have given a direct relationship with that model, but it is simply an inspiration in its construction. Since this shoe is oriented to trail running, featuring a multi-cushioned outsole that will cope with such difficult surfaces that can be found on any path, a new lacing system, triple layer FORMFIT ... A very modern shoe in this modality, with great advances, which will not disappoint any runner.
Leaving behind the old-fashioned heavyweight shoe, the Switchback stands out for its extreme lightness. Without exceeding 275 grams,the shoe comes directly to compete with the lightest models on the trail market. And not only that, they also feature state-of-the-art comfort, where we can appreciate a very light upper, flexible and fully adaptable to the natural movement of the foot due to the absence of seams with the ISOFIT system. The new BOA lacing appears for the first time in Saucony with this model, ultra thin laces for a great fit without noticing anything in the front of the foot. On the bottom three layers of FORMFIT foam accompany Sauconys prestigious EVENRUN technology. All these systems and technologies that we see in this shoe contribute to a high level of comfort.
The Saucony Switchback ISO features for the first time the latest lacing system developed by Saucony, the BOA system, designed to offer the maximum possible comfort without losing a touch of fit and support for your feet. Ultra thin laces that are adjusted through a wheel located on the side, which allows you to lock the closure in a simple and easy way.
Finally, in terms of technical performance, these shoes are very light, weighing less than 280 grams. Exactly 277 in the men's size 9 USA version, and 249 grams in the women's size 8 USA. A fairly low drop of 4 mm, which makes it a minimalist shoe that increases the runner's contact with the ground through that multi-touch serrated shape.
