When a well-recognized publication gives a company accolades, that company would want to publicize it to the world, of course. That’s what Saucony did when Runner’s World named the $140 Hurricane 14 as “Best Update” in the magazine’s 2012 Summer Shoe Guide. Both shoes are part of Saucony’s Geometry of Strong collection, in which another pair, the Guide 5, recently earned an “Editor’s Choice” in Runner’s World 2012 Spring Shoe Guide.
Runner’s World review of the Hurricane 14 said: “When a shoe has been around long enough to boast a double-digit version, any updates are usually minor tweaks. Naturally, you don’t want to turn away the faithful. But Saucony boldly overhauled the Hurricane. The 14 is 1.2 ounces lighter than its predecessor, is more flexible, offers more cushioning and is more stable. And Saucony lowered the heel-to-toe drop. Such dramatic changes could have gone horribly wrong, but Saucony came out with a winner, and wear-testers loved the update.”
Look for the review in Runner’s World’s June 2012 issue or online.
