FAQs
What is the main difference in the Ride 18 compared to previous versions?
The Saucony Ride 18 features an updated PWRRUN+ midsole that is 25% lighter, offering enhanced cushioning and energy return.
Are these shoes suitable for trail running?
The Ride 18 is primarily designed for road running. While the XT-900 outsole offers good traction, it is optimized for paved surfaces and may not provide sufficient grip or protection for rugged trails.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the product's size guide or compare with your usual UK shoe size. These are listed in UK adult male foot sizes.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash the Saucony Ride 18 trainers. Hand washing with mild soap and water is the preferred method for cleaning.
What type of runner would benefit most from the Ride 18?
Runners who prioritize comfort, cushioning, and versatility for daily training, logging miles, and recovery runs will benefit most.
How long can I expect the cushioning to last?
With proper care and for typical road running, the PWRRUN+ cushioning is generally expected to last between 500 to 800 kilometers (300 to 500 miles).
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces, particularly around the midfoot and forefoot, and re-tie them more loosely. Ensure you are using the correct size.
Feet feel hot or sweaty
The engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability. Ensure socks are made of moisture-wicking material. Clean any debris from the mesh that might obstruct airflow.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
The PWRRUN+ midsole is durable, but cushioning can degrade with very high mileage. Consider replacement after significant wear, typically between 500-800km.
Outsole grip is poor
Ensure the XT-900 outsole is clean from mud, pebbles, or debris. The grip is optimized for paved surfaces; performance may be reduced on wet or very slick surfaces.
