I’ve done a few steady runs where I found myself doing tempo paces without noticing.Īnother con is that they can get a little too hot in warmer temperatures due to the plush cushioning. If they’re you’re only trainer though, they can still be pushed a little harder without too much effort. I imagine they’re perfect for hell-strikers though! I wouldn’t use these trainers for faster training, as they are simply too heavy for that and they don’t suit faster mid-forefoot strides. I used the first version for >650km of training with cosmetic wear only so expect the Ride ISO 2 to go a similar distance for me and even further for a lighter or less aggressive runner. I actually preferred the fit of the first model as my foot is a little narrower but I think this version will suit more runners overall. The fit is very ‘true’ and are slightly more accommodating than the first Ride ISO. There may even be a bit of additional support (stability) that isn’t advertised in the ‘neutral’ marketing. For this reason, they’re very comfortable I had no issues with my legs after doing long runs of 25-35km in these. They have a lot of cushioning in the upper and the mid sole. I use mine for easy day, recovery and some long runs. They are really solid, durable and dependable shoes for daily training. ![]() This did not influence the outcome of this review, written after running more than 50 miles in them. We purchased a pair of Saucony Ride ISO 2 from runningwarehouse using our own money. The traditional appearance and feel of this shoe in my opinion make it a single go to shoe for many runners. This is really a shoe that does well at just about everything from daily running to tempo training but really excels over longer distances.įor a clear majority of runners this would also be a respectable race shoe. The Ride ISO 2 is a well cushioned yet responsive trainer that is more comfortable and snappier than before. Very rarely is it that an upper really grabs my attention but I have to say that this one of the most comfortable, best fitting, that I have experienced in a while. The heel kept my foot centered while providing effective and comfortable lock down and I never experienced any slippage or discomfort. The generously padded ankle collar that sits atop a stiff heel counter seem to remain unchanged as well. Saucony Ride ISO 2 Upper UnitĪn internal bootie carries over to the ISO 2 and remains unchanged keeping the overstuffed tongue of the shoe held in place. I don’t see any issue with durability so far as the amount of rubber seems adequate and there are very little signs of wear. This has led to a much smoother transition, nice proprioceptive ground feel, and a distinctive easy toe off. The outsole is now thinner and more streamlined with a bit of bounce. A new Crystal Rubber has replaced the thicker carbon rubber of the ISO 1. ![]() Saucony has done this by a reducing the amount of outsole rubber. ![]() The ISO is soft but not too soft and remains relatively responsive for up-tempo running like fartlek’s, or mile repeats.Įven with the 2mm addition the overall stack height remains the same at 27mm/19mm. The cushioning of the ISO two hits a sweet spot between performance and daily trainer. The marked band of thin EVERUN still remains hiding just below the upper of the shoe. This has given the shoe a more luxurious step in fell but also softened thigs a bit which is evident on higher mileage runs. 2mm of the conventional foam have been added in this update. Sauconys dependable PWRFOAM midsole carries over into the ISO 2 with very subtle changes that have returned big comfort dividends. The shoe requires no break in time as my first outing was 10 miles and they felt amazing. The ISO 2 has an almost luxurious step in feel that was true to size. This version has a more traditional appearance with simple color ways,minus the hot pink outsole which does not really clash with the overall design. Its snug with a touch of room in the forefoot and doesn’t allow for any slippage. The updates to the Ride ISO 2 have really improved the fit.
