This is really a shoe that does well at just about everything from daily running to tempo training but really excels over longer distances.įor a clear majority of runners this would also be a respectable race shoe. The Ride ISO 2 is a well cushioned yet responsive trainer that is more comfortable and snappier than before. Very rarely is it that an upper really grabs my attention but I have to say that this one of the most comfortable, best fitting, that I have experienced in a while. The heel kept my foot centered while providing effective and comfortable lock down and I never experienced any slippage or discomfort. The generously padded ankle collar that sits atop a stiff heel counter seem to remain unchanged as well. Saucony Ride ISO 2 Upper UnitĪn internal bootie carries over to the ISO 2 and remains unchanged keeping the overstuffed tongue of the shoe held in place. I don’t see any issue with durability so far as the amount of rubber seems adequate and there are very little signs of wear. This has led to a much smoother transition, nice proprioceptive ground feel, and a distinctive easy toe off. The outsole is now thinner and more streamlined with a bit of bounce. A new Crystal Rubber has replaced the thicker carbon rubber of the ISO 1. Saucony has done this by a reducing the amount of outsole rubber. The ISO is soft but not too soft and remains relatively responsive for up-tempo running like fartlek’s, or mile repeats.Įven with the 2mm addition the overall stack height remains the same at 27mm/19mm. The cushioning of the ISO two hits a sweet spot between performance and daily trainer. The marked band of thin EVERUN still remains hiding just below the upper of the shoe. This has given the shoe a more luxurious step in fell but also softened thigs a bit which is evident on higher mileage runs. 2mm of the conventional foam have been added in this update. Sauconys dependable PWRFOAM midsole carries over into the ISO 2 with very subtle changes that have returned big comfort dividends. The shoe requires no break in time as my first outing was 10 miles and they felt amazing.
The ISO 2 has an almost luxurious step in feel that was true to size. This version has a more traditional appearance with simple color ways,minus the hot pink outsole which does not really clash with the overall design.
Its snug with a touch of room in the forefoot and doesn’t allow for any slippage. The updates to the Ride ISO 2 have really improved the fit.
