FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the Ride TR2 offers excellent cushioning and comfort, making them suitable for marathon distances, especially for runners who prefer a neutral shoe that can handle varied surfaces.
Can I use these for trail ultras?
While they are designed for trail use, they are best suited for lighter trails and mixed terrain. For very long, technical, or muddy ultra-marathons, a more specialized, rugged trail shoe might be recommended for enhanced protection and grip.
What is the difference between Ride TR2 and the standard Ride model?
The Ride TR2 features a more robust design and outsole compared to the standard Ride model, making it more durable and better suited for off-road adventures, while retaining similar cushioning and comfort from the Ride franchise.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart and measure your foot length. It's recommended to have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing.
Are these waterproof?
No, the Saucony Ride TR2 trainers are not waterproof. They are designed for breathability and comfort, which means they will allow water to enter if submerged. For waterproof protection, you would need a specific Gore-Tex or waterproof version.
How often should I replace my Ride TR2 trainers?
It's generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles (500-800 kilometers), or when you notice significant wear on the outsole or a loss of cushioning and support.
Troubleshooting
Slight rubbing or discomfort on first wear.
This is common with new shoes. Wear them for short distances initially to allow them to break in. Ensure laces are tied correctly, not too tight or too loose.
Traction feels insufficient on very wet or muddy surfaces.
The Ride TR2 is designed for versatile use; for extreme conditions, consider specialized trail shoes with deeper lugs. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud and debris for optimal grip.
Reduced cushioning feel over time.
Running shoe cushioning naturally degrades with mileage. Consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles (500-800 km) of use, depending on running style and terrain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Saucony Ride TR2 trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable fit. It is recommended to wear them for a short run initially to get accustomed to the feel.
Compatibility: These trainers are compatible with most standard running socks. They are designed for adult runners with a neutral gait.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Ride TR2 trainers:
- Cleaning: After runs, remove loose dirt and debris with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or intense sunlight, which can degrade the foam and adhesives.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing for extended periods.
- Rotation: If possible, alternate between multiple pairs of running shoes to allow them to fully dry out and recover their cushioning between runs.
