FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the Ride TR2 offers ample cushioning for marathon distances, particularly for neutral runners. Their versatility also makes them suitable for marathon training runs on varied terrain.
Can I use these for hiking?
While they can handle light trails and packed paths common in some hiking, they are primarily designed for running. For serious hiking with uneven or rocky terrain, a dedicated hiking boot or shoe would offer better support and protection.
How do they compare to a standard Saucony Ride shoe?
The Ride TR2 retains the core cushioning and comfort of the standard Ride but features a more robust upper and outsole for improved durability and grip on off-road surfaces.
What type of socks are best with these trainers?
Moisture-wicking running socks made from synthetic blends or merino wool are recommended to keep your feet comfortable and dry during runs.
How often should I replace my running shoes?
It's generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles (480-800 km) or when you notice significant wear on the outsole or a loss of cushioning and support.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Ride TR2 is not a waterproof shoe. They are designed for breathability, which means they will allow water to enter in wet conditions. For wet weather running, consider waterproof running shoes or gaiters.
Troubleshooting
Slight discomfort on first wear
This is normal as the shoes adapt to your foot. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase duration to allow for a break-in period.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
The Ride TR2 offers versatile grip, but very wet or slick surfaces may reduce traction. Exercise caution or opt for a more specialized trail shoe if frequently encountering such conditions.
Excessive wear on the outsole
Ensure you are using the shoes on appropriate surfaces. While robust, consistent use on abrasive surfaces like concrete can accelerate wear. Clean the outsole regularly to maintain grip and check for embedded stones.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Saucony Ride TR2 trainers are designed for immediate use upon purchase. No specific setup is required beyond ensuring they fit correctly. For optimal performance, it is recommended to wear them for a few shorter runs to break them in.
Compatibility: These trainers are compatible with most standard athletic socks. They are suitable for adult female runners with a neutral gait. For trail running, ensure the terrain is not excessively muddy or rocky, where more aggressive trail shoe features might be beneficial.
Care:
- Cleaning: After running, gently brush off loose dirt and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.
- Drying: Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during the drying process.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in damp conditions or direct sunlight for extended periods.
