" Saucony Men's Pro Grid Hurricane 9"

The Saucony Men's Pro Grid Hurricane 9 running shoe is everything I'd expect from this company's product line. The level of comfort, fit and quality of these shoes are unsurpassed at any price, but the fact that it's priced lower than comparable shoes of other high profile brands is a real bonus. The first thing that most impressed me is the luxurious feel of these shoes without sacrificing any stability on the road. It may sound like a contradiction but these shoes are pillow soft and solid stable at the same time.
If your looking for value, quality, and good looks then these are the shoes to pick up. 5 stars

"Comfortable shoe"

I've had really good luck with the fit on Saucony's. Especially when new they give incredible cushoning, though they probably wear out a little fast in terms of cushioning (400 miles or so). 4 stars

"NEARLY ENDED MY RUNNING CAREER"

Let me preface this review by saying that I only take the time to submit reviews when I feel very strongly one way or the other about a product.

Started training for my first marathon and was advised by the local running store that the Hurricane was the shoe for me. The longer my training runs went, the more pain I was experiencing. As a tune up for the main marathon I ran a 1/2 marathon and I was in so much pain I was nearly crying. Went to a really well known running doctor (who also runs marathons and Ultra's) in Southern California and he advised that not only was the Hurricane NOT the shoe for me....but that very few people can successfully wear it pain-free. It feels like a brick on your foot, and at the time I would have SWORN that permanent damage was done to my feet, ankles and IT bands. Ended up running (and completing) the full marathon in Brooks' Glycerin 5 w/custom inserts, and now am training for my first triathlon where I will be using Saucony Triumph 5 w/custom inserts. The real story here: MAKE SURE YOUR RUNNING STORE KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING.

"A great show still available"

It seems every time I find a great shoe, a year later it is gone. This is probably the last pair of Hurricane 9s I'll ever be able to buy, I'm glad I was able to get this pair. Service was also great, they got here days before they were supposed to.
Thanks 5 stars
