Back to Results Saucony Grid Sinister Manufacturer: Saucony Price: $90 Reviewed in: Oct 2007 Shoe Guide Runner's World Awards: Best Debut Shoe Type: Performance Training See Specifications Disclaimer Runner's World Awards: Best Debut We Say: The new Sinister features a full-length plastic plate in the midsole that provides a smooth transition from heel-strike to toe-off. This design helps move you through the gait cycle more quickly for a more efficient toe-off. The plate and the durable carbon-rubber outsole makes the shoe firm, but the Sinister is not as stiff as you would expect, according to RW Shoe Lab tests. We recommend the Sinister as a racing shoe or trainer for efficient, average-weight runners.
