Great replacement.
These shoes were a replacement for the Ride 17 shoes I had. So far, I love these shoes. Still a little cold for outdoor work but great for indoor and treadmill work. Love these shoes and would highly recommend to others.

Excellent Feel
I am happy with the running shoes! They are cushioned well for long distance running and walking, and feel great all day.

Great everyday trainer.
Saucony Ride 18. True to size. Adequate toe box, not to tight, not to wide. Good heel grip. cushioned and comfortable but still light weight. This is an excellent shoe for those everyday training runs. I have three pair of Rides. 1-Ride 15 and 2-Ride 18. These are my everyday go to 3 to 5 mile trainers. I use Endorphin Pro or Endorphin Speed for races and Triumph 18 for long slow training runs. I have been a Saucony fan for many years.

Had issues with the lockdown of the last model, but they’ve been fixed. Upper fits wonderfully. Enough underfoot to keep you comfortable, not so much to feel bulky and distracting. Great set it and forget it type shoe, which is my favorite kind and increasingly hard to find these days. Would definitely recommend.

Great trainer
I'm very happy with this shoe. There's a lot of foam but the shoe isn't too soft so it works well for me. The fit is nice, plenty of room in the toe box. I like all the neutral color options. I did a 17 mile run out of the box and the cushioning held up the whole run. This shoe is great for those who like a neutral, somewhat flexible ride. I hope Saucony keeps this model consistent and doesn't soften it up too much like other brands are doing.

Best Daily Trainer Available
The Ride 18 is seriously fantastic. I was a huuge fan of the Ride 17 and this update is just spectacular. The upper on the 18 is one of the best uppers I've ever ran in and the midsole is super fun to run in. The shoe is so comfortable and also super responsive! It reminds me of the Triumph 21, which is one of my favorite shoes of all time. Seriously blown away by this shoe. The best daily trainer out there.
