Saucony Echelon 8 Running Shoes
A feel-good ride that accommodates all who run. For those who need a protective shoe that meets a wide-range of needs, the generous and accommodating Echelon 8 welcomes them with feel-good cushioning, a balanced and stable ride, and a secure fit.
Breathable Mesh Upper
Featuring a perforated mesh upper, the construction allows cool air to flow throughout the shoe, preventing any unwelcome build-up of heat so that you can remain cool and comfortable all day long. The breathable mesh acts as a lightweight second skin that allows flexibility allowing for long-lasting durability while added 3D Overlays provide further structure and support to the shoe and encourage a natural running motion. Furthermore, the enhancement of the 3D-Printed heel counter provides added backing for a perfect, secure feeling fit. Completing the upper is the traditional lacing system that provides a secure, locked-down fit.
PWWRRUN Cushioned Midsole
The midsole has been developed using Saucony's PWRRUN technology which provides increased energy-return, rebound and durability. The revolutionary material has shock-absorbing properties to reduce impact and strain on the foot. The PWRRUN is extremely soft, and all impacts will be absorbed instantly and effectively, delivering an extremely plush ride which will reduce fatigue and make sure that you be protected from injuries. Utilising FormFit technology, the midsole has a dynamic fit system that adapts to the shape and motion of the runner's foot, eliminating any unwanted movement within the shoe so that performance is optimised. Not only does FormFit work to provide a comfortable and supportive fit but, it is also highly flexible and hardwearing increasing the overall durability and comfort over long periods of time. FormFit surrounds the foot in a made-for-me feel which accommodates the feet giving them a feeling like these shoes were made specifically for you. The Foundation Platform sockliner further provides an accommodating fit and feel designed to maximize comfort and support and is specifically designed for compatibility with orthotics or shoe inserts.
Flexible TRIFLEX Outsole
For unbeatable traction and durability, the shoe uses Saucony's TRI-FLEX Crystal Rubber on the outsole. The rubber is able to form a solid, strong connection with the ground that provides a firm base for you to push off from, making your gait cycle more efficient. The multi-directional grooves are placed strategically to improve the flexibility and durability of the sole, and will also improve efficiency in takeoffs, landings and changes of direction.
