On the heel of the shoe, Saucony uses a TPU heel counter to keep you locked in without adding much weight to the shoe. The 3D-Printed overlays are light and non-constricting.

There is not much on it, as Saucony was going for the feel of the Endorphin track spike and letting your foot feel free and unencumbered.
Made of an engineered mesh, the upper is breathable and feels pretty light. The upper of the shoe is very simple and works for what it needs to do. And you notice it when it is on your foot. That means you’ll see one of the most aggressive forefoots out there. This sole unit was designed to look, and act, like the footing of a rocking chair, this is what Saucony calls “SPEEDROLL” technology. With the materials explained, we can get to the main event of the sole unit, the shape. This rubber is enough to give you decent grip on most surfaces, however, I felt the grip to be a bit lacking when doing early-morning runs on dewy, wet cement.Īt no point did I feel that I may fall, but I also didn’t feel 100% secure either. However, they incorporate strategically placed XT-900 rubber on high impact areas of the outsole for better grip and shock absorption. The outsole of the shoe is mostly made of foam, and you’ll see some wear and tear as you run in the shoes. This allows for a great return of energy on your toe off. One of the most important aspects, however, of the sole unit is that they incorporated two different densities of foam so you get different benefits on your foot.įrom the heel to the midfoot, the foam is very soft and cradles the foot, but then as it moves into the forefoot, it hardens up and becomes more dense. Made exclusively of Saucony’s newest foam, PWRRUN, it is soft and responsive.īy providing a very high stack heigh, 35mm in the heel and 31mm in the forefoot, Saucony delivers a soft ride for long runs. The sole unit of the Shift is a thing to behold.
