The mesh uppers are highly breathable, and the shoe weighs in at less than 6 ounces, making it ideal an ideal hot weather racing flat. The tongue and heel have pull-loops for quick entry and adjustment, a nice feature to have in the transition area. The bright blue sides of these shoes are highly reflective for those dawn and late-dusk runs. While looking sharp is half the battle, it turns out the slick-look of these shoes belies a highly functional racing flat. Once you slip these on you’ll know why they are popular with pros like the U.S.’ Linsey Corbin and Australian Kate Major. Make sure to lift up your foot so the annoying person behind you tapping their foot while you order your coffee can clearly read the “kiss this” printed on the soles. The heel of the shoe has a unique feature. The bright cobalt blue siding, grey and white mesh uppers, and silver shoelaces make these shoes fashionable on the starting line and in the Starbucks line. I can’t finish a run without getting a comment about these shoes.

I don’t have the best running form, and am mostly a mid-foot striker.Heading out the door? Read this article on the new Outside+ app available now on iOS devices for members! I weigh 180 pounds, run about 40 miles a week, with the long run averaging 10 miles. These have lasted me much longer than any other shoe, and still have lots of life left to them. I have over 400 miles on these and have not had any of the tread issues that others seem to have. These have become my favorite running shoe, and in my opinion, a nearly perfect running shoe. The flip side is that if you have runs or races on gravel, small rocks can find their way into the drain holes and cause discomfort until removed (happened once during the 10k portion of a tri). One big plus for triathletes – the shoes drain well – no slushing in your socks or bare feet – with the drain holes. I found the shoes worked well for me all the way up to the half marathon distance. Somewhat lost in the heavy marketing being put into the Kinvara’s release was the recent release of another shoe by Saucony that might appeal even more to minimalist runners the Saucony Grid Type A4 racing flat. They held up exceptionally well, and my new pair just arrived from Runner’s Warehouse. I just retired my first pair of A4 Grid’s after 300 hard miles of speed, tempo, and triathlon racing, with the triathlons including a number of miles on dirt and gravel. There is only one word required for me to describe these shoes – Awesome!! I train in a few different shoes, but when I want to fill great about a run (any distance), I wear my Grid Type A4s. There is no doubt you get your money’s worth with the Saucony Grid Type A4 shoes for men! Both the SSL EVA and the carbon rubber outsole, XT-900, contribute to the overall durability that Saucony shoes boast of.

Cest une chaussure de course à pied ultra légère possédant une semelle intermédiaire minimale et offrant une très bonne traction. Its air mesh upper provides breathability and good ventilation for your foot. La Saucony Grid Type A5 jaune, bleue et blanche (Collection automne/hiver 2013) pour homme est idéale pour vous aider à passer la ligne darrivée. It promotes stability and performance not only for the runner but for the shoes as well. Grid Type A4 is best for more brisk and speed focused workouts and racing. The lower material has in itself drainage holes that not only distribute the weight of the foot, but also to easily squeeze out water from the shoes making it more comfortable for neutral racing during marathons of 5K and the likes. Lower midsole height adds more cushion to your foot and makes it more durable and solid on the outside. The Men’s Saucony Grid Type A4 was designed to be a lightweight (6.4 oz), fast, neutral racing flat that would appeal to midfoot/forefoot striking runners. More and more sports enthusiasts see it as the next best investment in their market. ![]() It’s the new fad to remain stylish while keeping one’s self active and healthy.
