Product Testing

Item:  Saucony Type A6 Run Shoe

Price:  About US$100.00

Pros:  Light weight, easily forms to runner’s foot, breathable mesh, holes to allow water to release through the bottom, gripper strip on heel to aid with slipping on, comfortable with or without socks

Cons:  Have to build up mileage in these shoes – can’t just start running long distances in these if runner is not used to a minimal shoe, got a blister from rubbing but then was able to comfortably wear shoes without socks, not good for runners who need support, not the easiest shoe to take off so not as suited for duathlon as running and triathlon

Overall Rating:  9 out of 10
Not suited for all runners due to minimalist design. Light weight and breathability make it a winner.
