Runner's World Shoe Lab Test Results


We Say: After a year off the market, the Jazz is back. This new version is built on the same last as the old classic, so you can expect the same great fit and feel. Saucony retained the tough carbon-rubber outsole but added a plug of durable foam to the midsole below the heel to help reduce impact forces. Also new to this update are nylon bands in the upper that run from the laces down to the midfoot to increase stability. We recommend this shoe for runners with normal to high arches looking for a basic, durable shoe.
