Saucony Ride 14: building consensus — a public grade is not available yet; synthesized so far from 4 reviews across 1 creator, freshest review Jan 6, 2023.
TL;DR
The Saucony Ride 14 is a top-tier, no-drama daily trainer that balances cushioning, comfort, and agility better than most. Reviewers at The Run Testers are unanimous in their praise — one called it their favorite shoe of the moment, and another said it's the one-shoe quiver for everything from easy miles to a marathon. The main catch is that it barely differs from the Ride 13, so owners of that version have little reason to upgrade, and runners craving a plush, modern ride should look elsewhere.

Price not tracked yet
A solid, versatile daily trainer for runners who want one shoe that can handle easy recovery miles, steady long runs, and even some tempo work on both roads and light gravel trails. It runs true to size, accommodates both narrow and wider feet, and offers a firmish but plush ride with good stability and control. Best for intermediate or newer runners looking for a do-it-all road shoe at a reasonable price — it won't feel super-soft or ultra-light, but it reliably ticks most boxes for general mileage.
Reviewers were less aligned on this shoe’s purpose — treat these as a softer signal.

“which for the record I really didn't like”
“my first pick is that daily trainer i've gone for the saucony ride 14. it's a it's a nice shoe it's kind of a it's almost like an old traditional kind of running shoe more than some of the new things we've seen so there's not an awful lot of midsole foam but there's just enough balance there to give you enough response enough cushioning and protection without overdoing it”
“it reminds me of the ride 14 which will be music to kieran's ears he's always after a sort of harder shoe which you can use for daily training miles so this feels to be very similar to that”
“it's something that I would it immediately sort of Springs to mind along the sort of sucky ride 14”
“i would sort of like soccer ride 14 maybe a rink on three those things that tend to come up a little bit more direct”
“i rate it pretty similar level to a lot of kind of more expensive shoes i've tested things like the latest brooks ghost we've got review on the on the channel now something like the saucony ride 13 and 14”
“it's just a really solid daily trailer one that i've enjoyed um running in um i think it's good for a lot of different sessions”
“i've run in the 13 and the 14 uk size 8 as well i definitely found this a little bit tighter in the toe box particularly”
“the ride 14 because those shoes are kind of these shoes are kind of built for kind of comfortable running so we're getting those kind of similar kind of springy laces you're getting kind of kind of nice padding on the heel collar and the tongue i think you're getting a little bit more padding on the tongue than from the ride 14”
“the sockey ride 14 still offers a nice protective ride it's designed as a daily trainer that shoots for a balance between cushioning comfort and agility and it's a shoe for everything from easy miles to faster tempo runs”
“when it comes to the saucony ride 14 if you're after good solid reliable comfort and great versatility in a shoe that's built to last this is it or be in a more traditional design than some of the other high stacked squishy daily trainers but if you wanted to buy one shoe that would be good for training and racing up to a marathon this would do”
“sockety rise kind of 14s”
