Technology
Saucony's EVERUN cushioning system utilises a type of technology which places the cushioning closer to your foot than before. Normally, your foot would touch the sockliner, which sits on the strobel board, which lays on top of the midsole and attaches the upper to it. With EVERUN, Saucony places a 3mm layer on top of the sole, creating the effect of a memory foam mattress.
EVERUN also lasts three times longer than common EVA materials, and isn't temperature-sensitive, meaning it doesn't get harder in the cold or softer in the heat.
With the inclusion of their latest technology ISOKNIT, created in 2019, Saucony sneakers make you feel like you have a sock on. The revolutionary fit system morphs to the foot, allowing you to move more freely by adapting to your foot shape and movements.
