Saucony Progrid Ride 4 – RW Best Update

Saucony Progrid Ride 4 gets the Best Update citation from Runner’s World for Fall 2011.  This is announced in the September 2011 issue of Runner’s World US Magazine.  Progrid Ride 4 is an everyday neutral training shoe.  It weighs less than its predecessor and provides great cushioning and flexibility.

Runner’s World says, “According to Shoe Lab tests, this update is lighter, softer, and more flexible than the previous version. A dollop of foam cushioning under the heel makes the Ride more aggressively sloped from heel to toe than the average shoe and a great match for heavy heel-strikers.”
