From our studies have come many innovative Saucony concepts. Advanced technologies-like Grid, the first sole-based stability and cushioning system--provide an advantage to athletes of all types.
PROS
- Ample Cushioning
- Extremely Lightweight
CONS
- Low flexibility at the toe
- Narrow toe box
VERDICT: The Saucony Ride 6 Edition is a great shoe for netural to moderate pronators. The shoe has great cushioning, easy energy transition, and overall ample flexibility. This is a great lightweight training shoe, as it did not wear down or lose cushioning as the miles progressed. The dual layer mesh upper along with deeper flex grooves makes this shoe overall breathable and very durable for a variety of climate and element conditions. I can see why this is a crowd favorite, and I’m glad Saucony didn’t change too many of the technologies from the previous model. The shift from the ProGrid Technology to the PowerGrid Technology in the midsole provides a lighter weight material while giving the same structure and support. This shoe is easily in my top favorites for running shoes, and doesn’t cease to impress me with its durability and cushioning for such a lightweight shoe.

Saucony Men's Ride 6 First Impression
It was love at first sight for these shoes! The test pair came in neon yellow with pink, green, and light blue accents. It’s hard to not be noticed in these shoes! On trend with Spring and Fall 2013 Neon Trends, these shoes are fun and bright. I like the neon yellow mash overlaying blue mesh. It adds depth to the color, and is a striking combination, while functioning as a highly breathable material.
The overall shoe is extremely lightweight. Weighing in at 8.8 ounces (Women’s Size 9.5), this Saucony Men's Ride 6 is one of the lightest neutral shoes available.
Saucony Men's Ride 6 Upper
Saucony Men's Ride 6 The upper is composed of dual layers of lightweight air mesh. The dual layer gives extra protection, dries quickly, and maintains breathability. The HydraMAX? collar lining allows faster drying time, as it is made of a moisture wicking material.
Saucony has colored the technology in an accent color to differentiate the materials.Saucony Men's Ride 6 The tongue is comprised of both the mesh and the HydraMAX? material for ample protection and breathability. The lacing system is traditional. The pesky tongue tended to slip to the side during a long run, but stayed in place during shorter runs.
The ComfortLite Sockliner is made from EVA material. It conforms to the heel, while being an additional form of support for the arch and forefoot. I wore both thin and thick socks in the Ride 6, and they did not slip during my runs. The Sockliner provides the right amount of cushion for the arch, and did not wear down as my miles progressed.
Saucony Men's Ride 6 Sole Unit
Saucony adds their PowerGrid technology to the midsole to replace their ProGrid Technology.Saucony Men's Ride 6 This heel to toe insert allows for easy transitions and faster energy return with more cushion. This new technology increases durability and weight in the midsole.
During my runs, I found the shoe extremely responsive. The midsole is still firm with the SRC (Super Rebound Compound) Impact Zone technology. This helps with the overall stability of the shoe, and helps with the energy transition by providing shock absorption.
Whether running on a trail, road, or flat ground, unstable ground requires additional protection to help stabilize your foot. The Saucony Ride 6 redesigned their flex grooves to be deeper in order to be more flexible in the forefoot for these certain element circumstances.Click here to check price!!!
