FAQs
What type of runner is the Saucony Ride 19 best for?
The Saucony Ride 19 is best suited for neutral runners who need a versatile shoe for daily training, long runs, and recovery runs. It offers a balanced blend of cushioning and responsiveness.
Can I use the Ride 19 for racing?
While the Ride 19 is responsive, it's primarily designed for training. For faster race-day performance, you might consider a more specialized racing shoe, but the Ride 19 can serve for shorter races or for runners prioritizing comfort.
How do I know if I have a neutral gait?
A neutral gait means your foot lands on the outside of the heel and rolls inward slightly to absorb shock. If your foot lands flat or rolls outward excessively, you may need stability features. Observing wear patterns on old shoes can also offer clues.
How long do Saucony Ride 19 trainers typically last?
With regular use and proper care, running shoes like the Saucony Ride 19 typically last between 300-500 miles (approximately 480-800 kilometers). This can vary based on running surface, your weight, and running mechanics.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Saucony Ride 19 trainers are not waterproof. They are designed with breathable mesh uppers for ventilation during runs. For wet conditions, consider waterproof running shoes or gaiters.
What is the main difference between the Ride 19 and previous Ride models?
The Ride 19 is noted for being softer, lighter, and more responsive than its predecessors, aiming to enhance comfort and performance across a wider range of running paces and distances.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels slightly off
Ensure you are wearing your typical running socks. Try the shoes on at the end of the day when your feet are slightly larger. If still uncomfortable, consider exchanging for a different size, referencing the size guide.
Cushioning feels too firm or too soft
The cushioning is designed to adapt. Give the shoes a few runs to break in. If the issue persists, your foot type or running style might be better suited to a different model.
Tongue slips to one side
Ensure the laces are threaded through the additional eyelet near the ankle collar before tying. This secures the tongue in place.
Upper material feels restrictive
Ensure laces are not tied too tightly. If the restriction is persistent, it might indicate the shoe shape is not ideal for your foot width.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Saucony Ride 19 trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box. It is recommended to try them on indoors to ensure a proper fit before engaging in outdoor activities.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed as a neutral running shoe, suitable for runners with a neutral pronation. They are compatible with most standard athletic socks. For tracking runs, they can be used with GPS watches or apps, though they do not have integrated sensors.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Ride 19 trainers:
- Cleaning: After runs, brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with mild soap and cold water. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can warp the shape and materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
- Rotation: For optimal shoe life and to allow cushioning to recover, consider rotating between multiple pairs of running shoes.
