Saucony Ride 17 - Redesigned and Revived!?

[@notall1196]

Triumph 20's/21's are still the goat daily trainers imo.
Glad I stocked up on them crazy sales over the holidays.

[@raddadbodtv]

They’re super comfy! Those are more max cushion though vs these are better for daily use. Cushion has become more of a preference nowadays though! I do take the triumph 21 over these personally

[@iakona23]

@@raddadbodtvI prefer the Ride 17 because it’s more stable and the upper feels more comfortable and roomy. Triumph 20-21 has higher stack height, a bit more soft and bouncy, but less stable.

[@trot2millah]

Great review - I like this shoe for daily easy miles, but thought I was going slightly crazy with it feeling a tad loose in the heels. Glad I’m not alone in noticing this!

[@dhgpan]

I have the triumph 21 for 7 months and just got the ride 17. I love both for daily runs and long runs. The cushioning in the 21 is superior and at the same i enjoy the lower drop and the wider platform of the ride 17 more.

[@raddadbodtv]

yeah thats how I feel overall. The ride 17 is very solid

[@andrewkreuter3147]

Just got these today. Wish the laces were
Longer.

[@kyleschaffer6261]

Great input. I totally agree with it not being able to shift gears

[@raddadbodtv]

Yeah really solid daily use shoe but no real pop at all.

[@StephaneMichel-Montréal]

Thanks for your video. Short laces, difficulty to find an adequate lock down, heel counter that pinched the Achilles and rather narrow toebox are leading me to replace the shoe by its wide version, hoping that it will resolve those issues. The foam is fine but for now, not as impressed as so many positive reviews would have suggested. A shame that Puma narrowed their Velocity Nitro 3. Larger feet are clearly not considered by a lot of brands

[@raddadbodtv]

interesting, Im a pretty standard width footer so I didn't experience the achilles issues but yeah the upper needs some work. I love the foam personally though. Foams really come down to individual preference

[@thabosthabos7397]

I did my first 12km fresh off the box i experienced a lot of hot spot on my midsole with the Asics gel nimbus 25 from the first use to date haven't experienced any on the Guide 17 i am hoping it will take and do me well for this weekends slow long run. I will share my update of how it went once done pushing 38~48 km on them this weekend.

[@thabosthabos7397]

The guide 17 overall from the first 12KM felt so good will see on the long run.

[@gudboyngdisyerto]

i had the ride 15. i didn't love it and i din't hate it. i did not noticed any change in the midsole and outsole but when the upper developed a big hole on the medial side, i had to retire it and was surprised when i check in strava that i wore them for 1100km. so it's the kind that you almost don't notice and i think that's a great thing for a daily trainer. i'd get the ride 17 when price drops

[@Frichilsasta08]

It's a lot different than the ride 15. It took some time to get used to the heavier weight and looser fit. Felt the ride15/16 really had the fit dialed in

[@raddadbodtv]

VERY different shoe than the 16. Make sure to try it on first!

[@The_Shoe_In_With_Cody]

Great review! I really enjoyed the 17

[@raddadbodtv]

Thanks man! I’m excited to see how the rest of the 2024 line up looks for Saucony

[@bryandennison5864]

Great review. I’ve really enjoyed daily training in Shift 3s. I just tried a pair of Triumph 20s but wasn’t a fan.

[@raddadbodtv]

I didn’t try the 20 but loved the 21 which I understand was VERY similar. What didn’t you like about the triumph?

[@bryandennison5864]

@@raddadbodtv my feet are flat and mostly neutral but for some reason the 20s caused me to supinate. It was odd. The shift 3s I land pretty evenly.

[@jaceskid]

As far as daily trainers go, I feel like I’m transitioning more towards speed shoes (endorphin speed) paired with a max cushion shoe!

[@dustinjohnson267]

Have you reviewed the guide 17s. I just ordered couple pair and can’t wait to try them. Felt great in store and coming from hoka since the Clifton 5s just felt hokas as felt a little narrow and the Saucony was first running shoe tried on that actually fit great on my feet

[@raddadbodtv]

I haven’t, I don’t typically test stability shoes but that might change some as stability elements become less rigid

[@timetorunchannel]

Great review brother!

[@raddadbodtv]

Thanks man! I appreciate it!

[@Frichilsasta08]

Personally i love the triumph 21 but im a bit tired of the max cushioned craze these days and i find myself wanting a more traditonal ride. Im thinking ill just pull the triumohs out for longer runs but theyre hard to not choose because its just so much joy to run in

[@raddadbodtv]

The more I run in max cushion the more I’m starting to feel that way tbh. I actually like the triumph more than a lot of max cushion options simply because they’re not “squishy” the way some others are

[@risenmeqs9806]

I have never seen the black & white one, only the grey/orange, is there any diferents between the 2? Or only colors??

[@raddadbodtv]

Just color!

[@TomUK7]

Its becoming clearer to me that the most important aspect of a running shoe is the lockdown. Most shoes now have similar stack heights and responsive foams. Unless you are a serious long distance runner who races and runs in multiple marathons then just get a shoe that locks your foot down nice and secure! Whether its a ghost max, cumulus, ride, magnify, novablast whatever! Try not to get caught up in the hype!

[@raddadbodtv]

I would say there’s more than just lockdown because different runners have different preferences of width, drop, stack, etc BUT that 100% there really aren’t many “bad” shoes out there anymore. It’s really just, find your preference and it’s likely just as good as the other guys

[@snowwalker9999]

Saucony is unable to compete with their own shoes. The Triumphs the Endorphine Speeds & Pros will always be their best shoes. I’d get a Triumph or a 1080 V13 before a Ride 17. There are however slightly lower stack daily trainers that I enjoy a lot like Novablast 3 Rebel V3 and Cloudsurfer. It all the depends on the shoe and your feet in them. 12:53

[@raddadbodtv]

The use case of these is completely different from the speeds/pros and slightly different from the triumph depending on the individual. It’s not necessarily supposed to compete with those. As far as the 1080s that’s a fair comparison but personally I’d take these as the 1080s were TOO squishy for me but I could see where someone else would prefer the 1080s

[@Pokeepogo]

I’m more of a max cushion but I’m trying out a traditional daily trainer rn. Just recently started really rotating between shoe types

[@raddadbodtv]

I used to be more max myself but ironically as I’ve run more I’ve really liked more standard daily’s!
