Saucony Hurricane 25 Reviews

About 100 miles, with some long runs, and the soft ride has stayed consistent: the foam has not firmed up, and the midsole, outsole and upper have all held up well. They find the stability mild to moderate, with a wish for more forefoot support, and say it is not snappy and does not pick up the pace well. The forefoot is wide but low in volume, the heel counter is stiff enough to irritate some, and very wide feet may want more room.

The Hurricane 25 is their go-to for 15–20 km easy long runs in half-marathon training.

A 10-mile run at about a 7:36 pace plus a second recovery-pace run, at 155 lb. They found it firmer and less bouncy than hoped at an 8:00 pace, but the rocker and 6 mm drop kept it smooth and the bounce came through at 7:30 and quicker. The upper is secure and the toe box generous. They see it as a relaxed recovery or long-run shoe rather than a fast one, and suspect it suits heavier runners better.

Score 7.3. Not built for speed: a shoe for high mileage, offering comfort, stability and protection to overpronators and neutral runners alike. Stability comes from balanced foams, not an invasive post. Big, but lighter than before so not cumbersome. Minimal wear at 150 km.
