Saucony Ride 5 Running Shoe. Saucony beveled the heel for a smoother strike, and added more flex grooves so the sole can bend more in sync with your foot. They also reduced the drop from 12mm to 8mm to create a more natural stride. They also extended the ProGrid cushioning throughout the entire shoe for added comfort. The Ride 5 is a neutral shoe, designed for runners without major gait issues.
