Best for
Saucony's all-new Procyon Max puts a thick layer of PWRRUN foam on a stable base, a 36 mm stack over a 6 mm drop that gives plenty of padding without a steep heel-to-toe step. Zoned XT-900 rubber handles traction and the breathable upper keeps things cool. Saucony pitches it at clocking miles and at the daily routine alike.
It suits you for easy runs when you want reliable, protective cushioning, and it suits the runner who will also wear the same pair for errands and walks.
It is not a performance shoe. The pitch leans toward comfort and style rather than speed, so tempo days and racing call for something with more spring and less bulk.
