The top rated Saucony running shoes include several uptempo trainers and racing shoes, but the Type A stands out even among Saucony’s jet set. Weighing just 5.7 ounces, the Type A’s mission is to be the ultimate no-compromise, no-excuses performance shoe. Do you need some extra support? You’ll have to look elsewhere (at the Fastwitch, specifically). Do you need some extra cushion for longer road races? Sorry, try the Kinvaras. What the Type A’s offer is unparalleled flexibility and a firm ride that adds zero unneeded weight to your feet and no obstacles to your next PR attempt.
