GORE-TEX®
Gore-tex: Gore-Tex technology in shoe uppers has revolutionized outdoor footwear by providing a waterproof yet breathable barrier that keeps feet dry and comfortable in a variety of weather conditions. The unique membrane of this material allows water vapour to escape while preventing water penetration, making it ideal for running shoes used in rainy or snowy climates.
PWRRUN (EVA): PWRRUN is a type of midsole used in Saucony running shoes that is made primarily of EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate). This foam is designed to provide a balance between cushioning and durability, making it suitable for everyday training. Compared to traditional EVA foam, PWRRUN is lighter, softer and more responsive, offering better energy return and comfort.
PWRTRAC Outsole: This outsole technology is designed to provide excellent grip and durability on a variety of terrains, which is essential for trail runners who encounter a variety of underfoot conditions. The PWRTRAC rubber compound is designed to offer a balance of flexibility and traction, giving runners confidence in their tread, whether they're navigating rocky trails or muddy roads. The outsole design often incorporates multi-directional lugs to help remove debris quickly and improve stability
Saucony has a history of over 120 years and has been one of the world's top running shoe brands for that time. The brand was founded in 1898 in Pennsylvania. It is named after the Native American word Saconk, which means "the place where one river joins another". Its logo symbolizes the flow of the Saucony Creek and the iconic three dots represent the three stones in the river that represent stability, performance and durability. Since its beginnings in a small workshop, Saucony has grown into one of the most respected running brands and has managed to carve out a strong place for itself in the streetwear world.
The shoe's uniqueness lies in its advanced technology and unrelenting focus on comfort. Models like the Saucony Jazz, Shadow or Grid are among the legends because they are lightweight, have great traction and use high-quality, durable materials. Runners will appreciate the PWRRUN+ cushioning that puts energy back into the stride. Sneakerheads, on the other hand, will be impressed by the design of the more lifestyle models, which fit with everyday outfits for casual wear. Saucony will always have your back, no matter if you're running a marathon, sprinting around town, or in dire need of a stylish sneaker with an unconventional story.
Saucony ambassadors and die-hard fans include triathlete Katie Zaferes, Olympic runner Jared Ward and ultramarathoner Harvey Lewis. Retro models have found popularity among fashion influencers and sneaker collectors who appreciate timeless design and comfort.
Saucon sneakers have roots deep in running culture, but also work as an authentic street style accessory. Explore the range on Footshop and pick your pair.
