<\/p>\nHaving ended my summer with a less-than-perfect track record of personal bests (not to mention no new finisher medals), I began to wonder if I was smart to put so much time and energy into my conditioning and competitive runs. I seemed to be getting nowhere fast.<\/p>\n
Eager to take one last shot at my technique, I hired a coach. To be honest, she did as much for my ego as she did for my form\u2014then she asked me about my running shoes.<\/p>\n
At first, I was defensive. One brand has been my go-to shoe since I started running. Who was she to question my choice? Of course, I was being silly. This wasn\u2019t personal. She was asking me to look at all aspects of my running life\u2014including my shoe choices.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Was I resistant to the Saucony brand for a specific reason? Nothing came to mind. The company philosophy was uplifting. Styles are always trendy. And pricing wasn\u2019t much different from the brand I usually bought.<\/p>\n
Was I letting habit determine my choices? To find out, I not only picked up a pair of Saucony Ride ISO Women\u2019s running shoes at my coach\u2019s urging, but I agreed to write this review. And that changed everything.<\/p>\n
This shoe has a proud pedigree: it\u2019s the heir to the Ride 10 and offer Saucony\u2019s EVERUN topsole construction that stokes energy return. When a shoe is engineered this cleverly, who expects comfort? The brand\u2019s signature continuous cushioning proved to be a bonus I didn\u2019t expect.<\/p>\n
I thought the company was exaggerating when I read that the Ride was designed to adapt to my foot shape like a custom fit, but again, I was proven wrong. I hate clich\u00e9s, but I feel the need to insert one here: these shoes fit like a glove.<\/p>\n
Having fought the trend for way too long, I invited a mesh upper into my life. Worried that I would have to clean my shoes perpetually, I discovered in this mesh a carefree surface that attracted no more soil than my old footwear. This was becoming quite an education for me!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
One day, I found myself in despair as a result of self-doubt over a poor running season, but like many Singaporean women who don\u2019t know the meaning of quitting, I gave myself another chance to rise like a phoenix.<\/p>\n
Not only did my decision to engage a coach serve me well, but I came to respect the revolutionary fit system that\u2019s the hallmark of the Saucony Ride ISO running shoe. Fit. Flexibility. I should add Formidable. Lucky me. My story has an awesome ending!<\/p>\n
