Saucony Ride 16 Men's Running Agave, Basalt S20830-27

Your foot stays put, even when the pace doesn't. Higher sidewalls on the Ride 16 cradle the foot securely into the shoe, while a PWRRUN foam midsole delivers a plush stack underneath — 35mm at the heel, 27mm at the forefoot, for an 8mm drop that still feels smooth. An engineered mesh upper handles the breathability side, keeping things cool on warmer runs.

What's different about the Ride 16's sidewalls? They sit higher than a typical trainer, which is what gives the Saucony Ride 16 its secure, locked-in feel without needing a snug lacing job.
