It looks like Saucony has provided more bloggers with shoes to give away! Shut Up and Run is giving away a pair of Saucony Guide 5s or Triumph 9s to a lucky winner! Check it out!
Here’s some information on their new technology:
The new models – Guide 5, Triumph 9 and Hurricane 14 – will have a new heel- to-toe offset of 8mm. This is a 33% reduction in the heel-to-toe offset of the average running shoe. This tiny geometric shift just might change running forever…
Triumph 9
WHAT’S SO GREAT ABOUT 8mm?
This new geometry puts every runner in a more balanced, comfortable and powerful position without reducing cushioning or stability. Also, runners can more easily adjust their stride to a midfoot strike, aligning the lower body to absorb impact. Through extensive testing of different heel to forefoot offsets, Saucony was able to find what they believe is the best geometry for their most popular models. It is a significant development for the running community, as typical running shoes have had 10-12mm drops for the last 20 years.
