About this episode
Join the Supwell app Community Challenge for a chance to win a free shoe of your choice plus other prizes https://supwell.circle.so/checkout/marketplace-and-forum-ld3nz The Saucony Ride 18 is one of the most exciting releases so far in 2025. Priced at $140, it's the spiritual successor to one of the hobby jogger community's favorite shoes in recent memory, the Saucony Triumph 20. In this video, I put the Ride 18 through a high mileage day and let you know whether it's a worthy banger in a sea of quality options, or another milquetoast training shoe destined for the virtual discount bin.
