Saucony Men's Echelon 8 Running Shoe

Product Information

I tested the Saucony Echelon 8 on a series of moderate-paced road runs ranging in distance from 4 to 6 miles. These runs involved some very hilly terrain. Given the season, I also encountered a lot of fallen leaves as well as some wet weather on my runs. The Saucony Echelon 8 fits true to size The foundation platform provides a great wide base for stability and comfort and the TRI-FLEX outsole is the optimal choice for flexibility. Whether your foot is naturally wide or needs extra room to allow for swelling during a long run, finding a good running shoe is key to keeping wide feet happy and healthy. However, if your foot is wide from the toes to the heel, you will need to look for a shoe that’s offered in wider widths. This may include 2E and 4E widths as well as wide, extra-wide, and D. Whether you are taking a gentle stroll or going for an easier road run, the Echelon 8 will most certainly provide you with the comfort you desire when you're pounding the pavement.

If you have high arches or even normal arches, your footprint naturally makes a noticeable curve to the inside when you walk or run. This isn't the case for those with flat feet, who don't have a defined arch when they move. It's important that shoes for flat feet accommodate this by using a wider mid-foot and toe-box design. This allows your arch and toes to comfortably splay out for stability as you walk or run.
