Stay on your shoe, or switch?
Changed characterThe best-received Ride of the modern era. Saucony cut about an ounce, added foam at both ends, and softened the blend; Road Trail Run wrote that the midsole disappears under foot and feels nearly weightless, and Believe in the Run said it leaped toe-first into the conversation for top daily trainer. This is the version people stockpiled.
Stick with the Ride 14 if
- You want maximum outsole rubber for high-mileage durability
- The 14's firmer, lower ride is what you like about the line
- Clearance 14s undercut the 15's higher $140 list
Old stock is gone; see alternatives below.
Move to the Ride 15 if
- An ounce off your daily trainer matters to you
- The 14 felt harsh late in runs; the 15 has more, softer foam
- You want the modern rockered geometry
Where the Saucony Ride is now

- 10 mm more heel stack
- Drop is unchanged at 8 mm
- New midsole foam
- List price up $15
What loyalists said about the update
The fan-favorite benchmark, still referenced years later the way Ghost loyalists talk about the Ghost 14. The only recurring reservation: by the super-foam standards arriving elsewhere, it was still a fairly firm, traditional ride.
