The 'Saucony Ride 17 WMNS Finch / Gum' is an exemplary model in the Saucony lineup, designed specifically for women who prioritize both style and performance in their running shoes. This iteration features a colorway known as Finch / Gum, which blends an understated finch grey upper with contrasting gum-colored accents on the sole, creating a visually appealing yet versatile look. The shoe incorporates engineered mesh in the upper for enhanced breathability and a lightweight feel, ensuring that runners experience maximum comfort even during extended periods of activity. Additionally, the use of FORMFIT technology ensures a customized fit that adapts to the shape of the foot, providing exceptional support and stability.
From a performance standpoint, the Saucony Ride 17 WMNS Finch / Gum does not disappoint. The midsole is equipped with PWRRUN cushioning, a proprietary foam compound that delivers a responsive and energetic ride, efficiently absorbing impact and promoting optimal energy return with each stride. This cushioning is balanced by a moderate stack height, which maintains a natural stride and enhances ground contact feel, making it suitable for various running distances, from short sprints to long runs. The shoe’s outsole is constructed with durable rubber, featuring strategically placed lugs that enhance grip and traction on multiple surfaces. Together, these elements make the Saucony Ride 17 an ideal choice for women seeking a highly functional running shoe that does not sacrifice aesthetics.
