 Best running shoes EVER. Nov 13, 2011
By Sara
"Sara"
So, I didn't buy these on Amazon. I bought them at my local running store. It's not often that I log on to review a product I didn't buy here. This time? This time I have to share.
I am a runner who has struggled with picking the right shoe, staying injury free, and running pain-free. I over-pronate, and previous to these shoes, I would have sworn I was a solid heel-striker. That tends to put me on the spectrum of motion-control for shoes. Previous to this I have run in Nike Equalon 3s and the Nike Zoom Structure Triax.
After a particularly serious injury that had kept me out from running and in Physical Therapy for months, I was looking for a new shoe to start back up running. My PT had three qualities she wanted to look for in a shoe: Lightweight, cushioned heel, but with some support for the over-pronation/super flexible ankles. I took these to my running store and they directed me towards the Cortana, which had just come out.
I tried the shoe on, and I am a believer. In contrast to a traditional running shoe which normally has a 12mm height difference between the heel and forefoot, the Cortana has a 4mm height difference. This, for me, leads to less heel striking, better form, and less pain/discomfort, even when I am pushing myself on a run. There was a period of breaking-in, where I needed to be particularly careful about stretching my calves because of the increased flex while running. I am two months into these shoes, with multiple runs per week, and I love, love, love them. I don't have a bad word to say.
Bottom line: If you can understand the concepts behind the minimalist shoe movement, but either aren't ready for a true minimalist shoe, or, like me, have previous injuries that make the switch a poor idea, these are the shoes for you. They are a perfect in-between step. They are worth every penny of the price.
Saucony women's powergrid Cortana May 06, 2012
By S. Johnson
Most comfortable. Sometimes I forget I have shoes on. The upper mesh on the shoe is great. It allows air in and out so my feet can breathe. Would buy these again from Amazon. Yes! Yes! Yes!
Saucony women's and mens Cortana running shoes Apr 17, 2012

My partner and I previously have Asix and paid double the price of the sourcony's. Surprisingly the saucony's are more comfortable and I like the unique colours.
Best shoes ever! Mar 13, 2012
By Laura M.
I have been buying Saucony running shoes for many years. These are my favorites shoes ever! I hope they never change these because they are perfect. They are super light weight but offer great support with adequate cushioning. They fit like a glove, it feels like there's nothing on your feet. I don't think I could go back to a heavier shoe. I run about 15 miles a week and these are truly a joy to run in. I've had them about a month now and refuse to wear anything else.
 ripped material Feb 29, 2012
By runner
After purchasing the saucony women powergrid and only wearing them a few time not even running trying to break them in they have ripped and worn already. I have purchased many running shoes from saucony and I think I paid the most for these and they are the worst quality. I am going back to my proride 3 that they made in the previous years.
