Runner's World Shoe Lab Test Results
Saucony has improved the Hurricane's soft cushioning with more independent outsole segments under the heel to better isolate impact force. Flex grooves under the forefoot are deeper to improve the shoe's pliability, and RW Shoe Lab tests showed the 10 to be slightly more flexible than the 9. Saucony has also softened the arch wrap material for a better fit. Recommended for lightweight runners looking for a soft daily training shoe.

"It fit like a glove." --Christina Nichols, 44, East Lansing

"I've run in past versions, which were too stiff. The 10 has a much better feel." --Rob Krueger, 36, East Lansing

I absolutely love this shoe. I have had the 9 and 10. The shoe has a very soft cushioning and great support. I love the wider forefoot the most because other shoes make my toes fall asleep. I can definitely feel the arch lock working too, without feeling too much pressure. The durability is amazing, I ran all through Iraq on them on rocks and on the treadmill. They also keep your feet very cool..

I prefer hurricane 9 for the stabilty. 10 is lighter but lacks the stability especially the left shoe. It increases pronating. I hope saucony can find a middle ground when 11 is introduced. Too much motion around heal. I have been suffereing more injuries since I began wearing this verison and I love saucony! Pleas ecahneg back to the nine and try to keep the ligther weight feature..

I overpronate and find this shoe to help me tremendously. Goodbye to shin splints and tight calves. Very comfortable and fits perfectly..

Super comfy shoe...almost too cushioned. Fits extremely well, and is great for someone who has a moderate overpronation problem..
