Saucony Men's Echelon 8 Running Shoe

Product Information

While most shoes designed for flat feet offer significant cushioning and arch support, some don't always provide the level of tread necessary for running on unpredictable terrain. That's where the Salomon X-Mission 3 comes in. When it comes to trail running, stability and connection with the ground beneath you is also important in preventing falls. As you can see from the image above, EVERUN is an additional layer of cushioning material that lives close to the foot, providing a more immediate cushioning. According to Saucony it provides an 83% energy return and it does not break down with usage. Running Shoes Buying Guides

Running shoes come with different amounts of arch support. Most people with flat feet need more arch support rather than less. But some types of arch support are designed to prevent overpronation, which is common among people with flat feet. It's a good idea to have your gait evaluated at a professional running store or by a podiatrist, so you know how much support or correction you need. Heel-to-Toe Support If you have rigid flat feet, you'll probably want a motion control shoe, which helps normalize your gait and prevent the overpronation that you're, well, prone to. Arch Support

EVERUN is the newest Saucony technology and it’s slowly but surely being incorporated in all new premium Saucony running shoes.I tested the Saucony Echelon 8 on a series of moderate-paced road runs ranging in distance from 4 to 6 miles. These runs involved some very hilly terrain. Given the season, I also encountered a lot of fallen leaves as well as some wet weather on my runs. The Saucony Echelon 8 fits true to size Several brands sell running shoes in both standard and wide widths. That said, these brands often have a variety of wide shoes available for runners: It doesn't matter how well a shoe fits your arches if it's too narrow it won't be comfortable for walking and running. And while many running shoes do come with wide size options, it's even better to find a pair that doesn't require special sizing to work with your feet. The Saucony's Men's Echelon 8 offers neutral arch support with a wider sole. Its wider toe box encourages a natural gait, and the ample cushioning keeps you comfortable through even the longest runs. The Echelon 8 also has a removable insole, which is great if you'd prefer to use custom orthotic insoles for flat feet in your running shoes. Arch support is not all you need! Depending on whether you're a heel-, midfoot-, or forefoot-striker when you run, you'll need supportive cushioning in different parts of your shoe. Make sure the shoe you select has support where you need it. It should also have a drop (the difference in height between the heel and toe areas) that you're comfortable with. Drop can impact stability and speed, and over time, high-drop shoes can have ill effects on the Achilles tendon. Shoe Last
