ISO Women - Saucony Axon 2 Running Shoes - Sz 10 VIZGLD/ VIZRED

Review: Very good affordable shoe for daily runs albeit with a firm ride! Don’t have time to read the full review? Here’s what you need to know. The Saucony Axon 2 emerges as more than an upgrade over its previous shoe; it stands out as a high-quality product that can rival more expensive trainers in several essential ways at a much lower price. The remodeled, narrower upper design gives the shoe a snug fit and better lockdown than the Axon 1 and many other daily trainers. On top of a form-fitting design, the new Axon’s robust rubber outsole gives it unrivaled durability and traction in damp environments. So you can use the Axon on your long runs without wear and tear. And most of all, the upper improvements contribute to the smooth ride. But no shoe is flawless, especially one that costs less than $100. Specifically, most runners take issue with the shoe’s stiff foam and lack of flexibility. This new version still has PWRRUN foam throughout, but it isn’t as soft and can be unforgiving to runners in the market for a plush underfoot feel. Additionally, the Axon Two’s rigid rubber bottom means it can’t offer the flexibility to provide a comfortable feeling while running over gravel or rocky terrains. Some runners even complain about repeated heel slipping in these environments. But for shorter runs on paved territories, you won’t find better footwear at a friendlier price than the Axon 2.
