WE SAY: The latest Hurricane incorporates Saucony's new ProGrid cushioning system, which resembles rows of small, empty boxes in the midsole. At heel impact, these boxes compress, which disperses contact forces. Saucony also sandwiched a rubber plate in the midsole to help disperse impact over a wider area. Our lab tests showed the Hurricane to be one of the softer stability shoes in this guide. We recommend it for runners with normal to low arches looking for a soft, stable trainer.
WEAR-TESTERS SAY: "For a runner my size (200 pounds), it was soft yet firm enough to be stable."--Tim Lambert, 37, Allentown
"Great fit in the arch area."--Richard Monroe, 32, East Lansing

WOW!! Very nice supportive shoe. I am fairly flat footed, and these shoes held up well. I did my 2nd ULTR with them. I ran over 30 miles and not even a hint of a blister. I was considering the Hurricane 10, but have read some negative reviews, so I will stick with the H9 for now..

Great shoe! I have been looking for a more cushioned stability shoe and this fit the bill perfectly. I was a bit hesitiant about the price, but once I ran in them, I was sold..

Great shoe. Purchased less than a week ago after having the Saucony ProGrid Omni for the past few pairs. Did a 5K and felt great. Fantastic stability shoe..

Very good shoe. The cushioning is second to none of any shoe I have ever used (Nike, Addidas, New Balance and Mizuno) and the stability is just right. I have had 3 pairs of Hurricanes over the past two years and they hold up very well..
