Fitness shoes Saucony

A brand from 1898

Saucony was born in 1898 in Pennsylvania, United States, by the Saucony river, which gave it its name. Its logo, a wave accompanied by three dots, evokes the rocks of the riverbed.

From running to fitness

Saucony shoes, designed for running, offer generous cushioning and good propulsion, ideal for cardio on a treadmill, warming up during runs, and mixed sessions alternating running and exercises. For pure weight training with heavy loads, a flatter and more stable training shoe is preferable, as thick cushioning makes support less stable under the bar. Therefore, one chooses their shoe based on the amount of running in their training.

Choosing the right one

Try on your shoe at the end of the day, when your foot is slightly swollen, with your sports socks, leaving half a centimetre in front of your toes. The heel should be held well and the forefoot free to move. For running, monitor the wear of the sole and cushioning, and replace your pair every six hundred to eight hundred kilometres or so. Allow it to dry in the open air after each session.

Frequently asked questions

Can you use a Saucony running shoe for fitness?

Yes, for cardio, the treadmill, and dynamic classes, where its cushioning protects against impacts. For heavy weight training, a flatter, more stable sole is preferable to ensure solid footing.

Where does the name Saucony come from?

The brand was born in 1898 in Pennsylvania, by the Saucony river, which gave it its name. Its logo, a wave accompanied by three dots, evokes the rocks of the riverbed.

Which Saucony for sessions combining running and strengthening?

Choose a model with moderate cushioning and a sufficiently wide sole: it remains comfortable over a few kilometres and stable enough for lunges, squats, and jumps. Very thick cushioning would make lateral support less secure.

How to find your size in Saucony?

Try the shoe on at the end of the day, with your sports socks, leaving about one centimetre in front of your toes. For fitness, your foot should be well held on the sides to avoid slipping during lateral movements.

How to maintain mesh sports shoes?

Brush the sole, clean the upper with lukewarm soapy water using a soft brush, then let it dry outdoors, away from a radiator. Avoid washing them in a machine, which can wear out the cushioning foams and adhesives.
