***Spoiler Alert*** Saucony® PowerGrid Hurricane 14 is nothing like ProGrid Hurricane 13. As the following video shows, Saucony® has converted their signature version 13, stability shoe into a cushioned, potato shoe. This change will affect every runner wearing version 13, who requires pronation control and support.
Alternative shoes to Hurricane 14, include Brooks Trance 11, or Brooks Adrenaline GTS 12.
My previous reviews on Saucony® ProGrid Hurricane, follow the video.
Runner’s World should be this objective. It’s refreshing to have real reviews without editorial or advertising bias.
Hopefully, they’ll take my lead. Thanks!
Thank you for your review. It was really helpful!
Hi Dr Sanders,
is the Hurricane 13 more like the 10? Or the 9? I ran on these for eyars and years (from the yellow and red version) til I bought the 10. That shoe did not support me in the least. switched to the Omni, then to the ASIC Kayano but if the Hurricane was back at the 9 structure, that’d be great to know.
Thanks!
Unfortunately Hurricane 13 is not like the 9 or 10. Both of those versions were stability shoes (firm medial EVA) and the 13 isn’t. If you did well in Hurricane 9, it’s probably because it doesn’t hourglass at the waist (more midfoot support), and is narrower than version 10. I would go to a specialty running shoe store and work with the manager to find an appropriate fit for your foot type and running style.
Thanks Dr Sanders!
This review was spot on!!! I have ran in hurricanes for years; this year I was forced to give them up and try something new. The 14s were such a great disappointment and I appreciate this honest assessment!
