Good!

For years, the Saucony Echelon series has been among the top choices for runners in need of orthotic support because of its accommodating fit and deep cushioning. While longtime fans missed the usual bombproof hold and bouncy ride of previous editions in the 9, they still got the superb comfort and support long associated with the Echelon name.

Inserting insoles won’t be a chore

The Echelon is Saucony’s line of cushioned road runners perfect for people with orthotic needs. Its thick sock liner, while soft and comfortable on its own, can be easily removed and replaced with custom orthotics or insoles.

Reviewers loved how well the shoe plays with aftermarket inserts, saying that even though the fit is accommodating, the shoe still “cradles your foot” and prevents the orthotics from sliding around inside.

The top of your feet won’t have any complaints

Testers had plenty of praise for the Echelon 9’s mesh upper. They found it to be soft, breathable, and more comfortable overall than its predecessors, stating that it’s now “more in line with modern Saucony models like the Triumph 20.”

Perhaps due to the upper updates, users say that the Echelon 9’s fit is significantly different from before. Those with wide feet experienced a narrower fit even in the 2E and 4E sizes, while narrow-footed ones found the shoe broad enough for their orthotics, but too voluminous for their feet that their heels are constantly slipping.

Reviewers shared that the Echelon 9’s thick stack of PWRRUN foam provides them with “cushion and spring in every step,” and its wide footprint “creates a supportive foundation” that is helpful in keeping even those with supination issues injury-free.

Toe-to-heel drop?

While the v9 has an 8-mm heel drop, it feels “almost like a negative heel shoe,” according to runners. One said that the way the sole “sweeps down in the back” altered his posture and bothered his back while wearing the shoe.

“Weird heel drop in the back” aside, the 9th-gen Echelon is quite a comfortable shoe. Some wearers described their experience as “literally like walking on a cloud,” with a few even claiming that it’s the most comfortable trainer they’ve ever worn.

This type of comfort makes the version 9 an ideal trainer for middle to long-ish distances at mild speeds, but a lot of owners found more utility in it generally as a work and all-day wear shoe.

One avid runner claimed that while the Echelon 9s aren’t as comfy and cushy as the Ride 15 or Endorphin Shift, “they are great and fill a gap perfectly.”

Reviewers noted that there isn’t as much rubber coverage in Echelon 9 compared to the 8. One runner called this outsole design horrible, as he felt that it made the shoe “a trip and fall hazard.”
