PWRRUN HG is Saucony's most responsive foam, made using a supercritical process that creates a lighter, more elastic cell structure than standard EVA foam. Saucony uses PWRRUN HG in its top racing shoes, including the Endorphin Pro 5 and Endorphin Elite 3, layered with a carbon plate for maximum energy return.
PWRRUN is Saucony's standard EVA foam, chosen for durability and reliable cushioning across everyday miles. PWRRUN+ uses a TPU-based compound for a softer feel and better energy return, found in cushioned trainers like the Triumph 24. PWRRUN PB is a PEBA-based foam, lighter and more responsive than PWRRUN+, used in faster-feeling shoes such as the Endorphin Speed 5 and Endorphin Azura.
IncrediLUX is Saucony's newest supercritical foam, engineered for maximum plush cushioning that resists compressing over long runs. Saucony pairs incrediLUX with Center Path stability technology in the Hurricane 26, and also uses it in the Triumph 24 for extra comfort on recovery days.
The Ride 19 is a neutral, balanced trainer for everyday mileage. The Triumph 24 adds a deeper stack and incrediLUX foam for maximum cushioning on recovery runs. The Guide 19 is a stability shoe that corrects overpronation, when the foot rolls inward on landing. The Hurricane 26 is Saucony's maximum support shoe, pairing incrediLUX foam with Center Path technology for the plushest ride in the range.
It depends on your goals and terrain. Choose the Ride 19 or Triumph 24 for everyday road miles, the Guide 19 or Hurricane 26 if you need extra support, and the Endorphin range for speed and racing. On trails, try the Peregrine 16 or the road-to-trail Guide TR GTX. A gait analysis at your local Runners Need store can help if you're unsure.
Most Saucony running shoes fit true to standard UK sizing, though some runners prefer half a size up for extra toe room on longer runs. Fit varies slightly between models, with cushioned shoes like the Triumph 24 running roomier than firmer racing models like the Endorphin Pro 5.
Several Saucony models come in wide fit options, including the Ride 19, Guide 19 and Triumph 24, giving extra room across the forefoot. The FORMFIT upper also adapts to different foot shapes, reducing pressure points even in standard widths.
Yes, Saucony running shoes can be hand washed using a soft brush, mild soap and cool water to remove dirt and mud. Machine washing isn't recommended, as it can damage the foam midsole and affect cushioning performance. Always air dry them away from direct heat, since radiators and tumble dryers can warp the foam.
