Big & bulky shoe .
I purchased the Ride 18 about a month ago . I had read reviews and it was stated there were few changes from the Ride 17 and comments by testers were favorable. However , the Ride 18 is significantly different from the 17. The platform is big and bulky and looks like a boat ! My feet hit together just to walk in these shoes . I returned them !!

Hopefully my new kicks
I would have gave it 5 starts, but the color isn't as bright as its shown above! They feel very supportive and has nice cushion!

Loyal fan!
I am very happy with the Ride 18. I have worn Saucony sneakers for over 20 years. They are comfortable and provide great support.

Great updates!
Loving the upgrades, but durability seems to have gotten worse. I liked the previous version but this one has way better padding. The ride is slightly softer. Has some bounce. I’m happy that there is still a basic trainer out there without huge stack. Will continue to use this as my daily trainer. Good job Saucony!

Love the cushioned ride
Switched to these from Brooks Ghost and I love them. They are more cushiony than the ghost and offer more support. I have collapsed arches and over probate. These shoes feel great.

This year's perfect shoe
Triumph 20 was the last Triumph I could wear. The 21's were tight, and the.22's too plush. It was getting hard to find my size in the 20's so tried New Balance, Asics end Brooks again. All the old brands I wore before they changed and I found the triumphs. I had little hope for finding a shoe after the Triumph changed. I tried these new Ride 18 and they were perfect for me. They have the right amount of support, no pain after wearing them a day. My feet are narrow, so others might need to order them in wide. The colors our nice, but my hope is they'll come out with more fun colors like the Sweaty Betty Triumph. Will definitely get these again until they change...

don't like new features
Don't care for new style. The tongue is weird. The toe box feels more narrow and these hurt my feet. Been wearing Rides for several years and this doesn't feel like an improvement. I went online to find the old version because these are so bad. Ruining a good thing. Also ruined the guides which are my favorite shoe that I've been wearing for decades.
