Saucony Men's S20740-16 Trail Running Shoe

I bought these as I needed some waterproof trainers and had Saucony trainers that fit well and are light. These are equally a great fit and light. I’ve not really put the gore-tex to the test other than some light rain but so far so good.

I normally by buy Adidas swift R2 GTX trainers. My wife said I should try these as she is a ultra marathon runner and likes saucony trainers. I went for the change also on looks.I wear the trainers generally everywhere so from walking the kids to school/ dog walks to country walks.The saucony fitted well out the box. I was recommended a 10 and no problems on fit. Plenty of width at the toes and good fit at the back.The saucony I would say are a better trail running shoe than the adidas swift. They are lighter and more flexible.The adidas have a continental sole which has similar grips to a walking shoe. There is more toe protection on the adidas so if you are walking stoney paths then I would opt for the adidas.I like the easy lace system on the adidas whilst the saucony has a traditional lace system. The laces are nice and flat and I have so far found them very easy to tie and untie using a double bow. I get a more comfortable fit with the Saucony because of the lace system but miss the convenience of the easy slip on off.The adidas has lasted me ages and the sole is still good. It will be interesting to see the comparisons.The one thing I have noticed is the Saucony aren’t as insulated and my feet feel colder in them.If you want a lightweight stylish GTX trainer then these are ideal. If I was walking mountain trails I would probably opt for the adidas because of the toe protection and they feel more like a walking trainer. The saucony feel more hybrid between a running and walking. Definitely easier to run in the Saucony with more cushion on the sole.

perfect for off road running. This is my second pair.

Good substantial footwear. Comfortable. Be aware these are for walking not running.

Didn't last long as the cloth inside shoe tore and goretex started to dig into my heal, and become to uncomfortable to wear. Very disappointed as only used them for walking my dog rather than trail running.

Sturdy trail running shoes, built to last & comfortable

Original review: Looks good, waterproof and really comfortable - genuinely feels like a trainer, despite the tougher material.Update after 4 months: water leaking on my big toe, which is super disappointing as they have not been worn that much.

Not as good as other saucony trainers I've wornThey appear too narrow, and the block sole makes driving difficult
