Saucony Hurricane 25
Road Easy Recovery

Saucony Hurricane 25

A soft, lightweight max-cushion trainer that excels for steady-paced marathons and long runs, though some testers find the plush feel mushy and note it lacks the bounciness of competing options.

DO
Doctors of Running Youtube

A much lighter, softer, bouncier take on the Hurricane that stands out as the only super-foam premium stability option, though the softness can feel mushy and the lateral bias won't suit everyone.

Best for: Runners wanting a bouncy, soft, mild-to-moderate stability shoe with some versatility into faster paces.

+1 earlier review from Doctors of Running

Mild stability trainer for runners who dislike medial posts and want lower volume.

TR
The Run Testers Youtube

Best for: 4+ hour marathon runners prioritizing cushion comfort

+2 earlier reviews from The Run Testers

Hasn't changed much from the previous version, which TRT is pleased about.

A really impressive, smooth, stable max-cushion shoe that is more versatile than the More V6 and the pick of the two for most runners.

Best for: Beginners, heavier runners, or anyone wanting a cushioned, stable shoe for easy and long runs at steady paces
