On the upside, the Saucony Ride ISO 2 delivers a consistent look all across the range. Woman's running shoes look way more stimulating in general not in this case, though. Other thrilling colour options include grey, citron and teal (mens variants), and to my surprise, even the woman's variants are pretty subtle. The tested black/blue colourway looks somewhat interesting on the pictures, in real life, it is less exciting. I mentioned this in my Asics Gel-Nimbus 21 review, but serious running shoes can be fairly underwhelming to look at. In the visual department, the Saucony Ride ISO 2 follows the path set out by other running shoe brands like Brooks and Asics and offers not much to get interested about.

Best trail running shoes: take your runs off road with the best trail running shoes.

The Saucony ISO Ride 2 has an 8 mm drop and weighs just under 300 grams, which is not too heavy, nor it is too light. It even also morphs to your foot, according to Saucony, a process that might take a bit longer and would require a long-term review. The Isofit mesh upper is breathable, giving enough ventilation to your foot during your runs. The Saucony Ride ISO 2 holds your feet firmly around the bridge of your foot, where the laces run, but not in a way that would obstruct you. Maybe a little bit too spacious, even for someone like me with a foot that resembles scuba propulsion fins.

The upper is not knitted like in the case of the Nike Joyride Flyknit, yet there is definitely enough space at the front.

It being a neutral running shoe, the Saucony Ride ISO 2 is most suited for neutral runners, but it can improve the running technique for runners who suffer from underpronation, also known as supination, too.Īs mentioned above, the toebox area has been improved since the last iteration.
