Amazon is notorious for its selection of affordable running shoes from popular brands like Brooks, Asics, and New Balance, among others. There's even one $48 Under Armour trainer that's earned over 43,000 lifetime ratings. But right now, one of the best deals to score is on a popular Saucony running shoe that's gaining a lot of attention.
The Saucony Ride 16 is on sale for as low as $58—up to a 59% savings on the original price of $140. This shoe is available in sizes 7 to 15 wide and has eclipsed the previous model as the bestselling Saucony style on Amazon. As is typically the case with Amazon-sold footwear, the price varies by color and size, but most are still between 35% and 50% off.

The Ride is a neutral running shoe from Saucony that weighs just under 9 grams and has a smooth 8mm heel-to-toe offset. They're made with a breathable mesh upper, have rubberized inlays throughout the outsole, and feature the brand's PWRRUN foam midsole cushioning, which is the main attraction of this model. Saucony calls this shoe "perfectly balanced" with help from this midsole cushioning and its design, which was intended to cradle a foot rather than have it rest on top of a foam platform. This provides enhanced comfort and a more confident step.
Shoppers say these running shoes are fabulously comfortable, fit the way a good running shoe should, and offer tremendous value for the price you pay. Some shoppers even noted the balance that Saucony claimed to have built into them. "These are fantastic shoes," one shopper said. "Very balanced and with enough cushion to cruise the miles! A true 'go get 'em' workhorse in pounding out the miles!"

Other shoppers noted the immense cushion packed into the Ride 16, with one shopper going as far as calling them "deliciously" comfortable. "They fit like a glove and have a ton of support," they said. "You really feel like you're running on a cloud." They went on to say that, in their experience, most running shoes offer some combination of cushion and support, but the Ride 16 offers a lot of both.
Some even rely on these sneakers for being on their feet all day. "I'm rough on shoes and I'm on my feet literally all day," a shopper stated. "I usually wear Asics and they last seven to nine months before they start hurting my feet. I average 16,000 steps a day, and when I'm not walking, I'm standing on concrete. These, so far, are super comfortable."
With the Saucony Ride 16 now on sale for as low as $58, now is a great opportunity to get into a very comfortable running shoe from a well-trusted brand for less. Sizes are widely available at the time of publication, but that could change at any point. So, if you've been searching for a great everyday runner or something you can spend hours in without fatigue, pick a pair of these up in your favorite color while sizes are still around.
