Saucony Type A6 Racing Shoe

Saucony Type A6 is a racing flat and a light running shoe. It’s a go to shoe for those who likes to run with speed. I have been using the Saucony Type A5 for 2 years and even had two pairs of the shoe. I often use it for tempo runs and even a couple of marathons. This February 2014, Saucony finally release its new update, the Saucony Type A6.

Unlike other shoe models that makes an update every year, Saucony Type A6 is released after two years.  We might need to wait as long for the Saucony Type A7 to be released.

The Saucony Type A6 is lighter and more responsive. About half an ounce is trimmed from its predecessor. It has the improved Flexfilm that helps maintain support in the upper and a new iBR+ rubber for a good grip and faster reaction time.

The Saucony Type A6 is available in the US starting February 1, 2014. Saucony Type A6 price is 100.00 USD.

Here are the features Saucony Type A6:

Saucony Type A6 Reviews

The shoe is relatively new so we haven’t checked any Saucony Type A6 reviews yet. But the Saucony Type A5 has great reviews for being very lightweight and for a good tight fit. It’s best for midfoot strikers.
