Zapatillas de Trail Saucony Peregrine 12 GTX | Ténis Saucony Jazz Original castanho bege branco mulher review

Ténis Saucony Jazz Original castanho bege branco mulher review and lab test

If I could swear here I’d say “**** these are comfortable!” BUT they are not running shoes. 

The Ténis Saucony Jazz Original castanho bege branco mulher is an insanely comfortable trainer that performs really well in the gym or around town rather than on the open road. 

Who the shoe is (not) for 

Saucony Trainers Shadow 6000 in Grey:

• a stable, low-to-the-ground shoe that’s incredibly comfortable for gym and interval asfaltoouts
• an amazing around-town sneaker. 

Pass on the Ténis Saucony Jazz Original castanho bege branco mulher if you are looking for a Saucony White Mountaineering sneakers. Yes, it has Saucony’s fantastic PWRRUN PB midsole, but if you want to experience this tech in a true running shoe, I suggest opting for the Endorphin Pro 3 or the zapatillas de running Saucony niño niña entrenamiento neutro pie normal apoyo talón.

Serious fit issues in Freedom 4

The main issue with the Freedom 4 is its fit. 

• It’s too loose and sloppy to be a true running shoe. 
• The heel slip was unsolvable for me. 
• It runs a half size too big. 

Saucony Jazz Original S2044 636

On the positive side, Saucony built in a really nice gusseted tongue with stretchy mesh gussets that extend 3-4’’ down the sides of your foot (compared to the 1’’ gussets on the Endorphin Speed) which does give this shoe great lockdown in the midfoot. 

Superb comfort

Although I don’t think this is truly a running shoe, I will sing praises from the rooftops for the Freedom 4’s comfort! The second you slide this shoe onto your foot you’ll audibly sigh. 

The upper is smooth on the interior, making it easy to slide on. The material by the heel is slippery nylon that feels great (although this is part of the heel slip issue), and the PWRRUN PB midsole is insanely plush. 

I want to focus on the midsole for a second though because Saucony really does have a great product here. However, what makes Saucony’s higher-end shoes asfalto so well with this product are the nylon and carbon plates that stiffen it up. 

On the Freedom 4 there’s no plate, just a soft squish, topped by a generous layer of soft foam in the sock liner, and then a 4mm insole. It’s built for comfort, no two ways about it. 

Better for walking and gym activities

Ultimately I’d say this is a cross-training shoe. I think you’ll be more pleased using this on gym days, moc your feet a rest from your running shoes, and focusing on how good they feel rather than how well they run.

I took this shoe to the gym and out on a few runs, the outsole grips well in all conditions and it’s plenty sticky and stable for activities like box jumps and super legs. 

I would use this shoe for walking as well. I’d be happy to spend a full day on my feet in the Freedom 4, maybe touring a new city, enjoying a local park, or chasing my nephews around Six Flags (fingers crossed COVID is over soon). 

Ténis Saucony Jazz Original castanho bege branco mulher feels like running in Vans sneakers

I’ve said it already, this is not a running shoe, but you can run in it. You can also run barefoot… I tested it as a running shoe and it does asfalto, and the ride is enjoyable. The midsole is just that good. 

However, the shoe feels flat, low, and loose. I measured the stack heights at 21.1mm in the forefoot and 26.4mm. The shoe’s lower stack heights are a welcomed change compared to the trend of 35-40mm stack shoes these days. 

The Freedom 4 is kinda like running in a pair of Vans (there’s virtually no rocker underfoot) and it feels much more like a townie sneaker than a runner.

I scored it at a 4 out of 5 on flexibility, 5 being a minimalist shoe you can basically roll up and put in your pocket.

Heel drop inconsistencies found in Ténis Saucony Jazz Original castanho bege branco mulher

Best rated Saucony shoes.

There’s a bit of confusion around this measurement, Saucony says it’s a 4mm shoe on their site, but the insole has “8mm drop” printed on it. 

Impressive weight 

At 7.95 ounces (227g) the Freedom 4 is light. Saucony nailed this, and it’s impressive since it’s adorned with ample, luxurious suede elements throughout the upper which Saucony could have ditched to lighten this shoe up even more. 

Between the PB midsole and it coming in under 8oz, it's insanely enjoyable to have on your feet. 

Reinforced and durable

Womens Saucony Cohesion 15 Running.

It’s reinforced with suede around the toe, on the tongue, and on the back of the heel. The extremely breathable engineered mesh upper seems well made and durable as well. 

It also has a full-rubber outsole. Although the outsole is thin at right around 3mm, there’s not a lot of exposed midsole hitting the ground. 

Freedom 4 gets dirty quickly

One gripe though, they got insanely dirty insanely fast.

I have no idea what happened to these but they are a mess after just a few test efforts. 

Hidden perk: reflective elements

Saucony Ride 15 TR Bleu Taille 37.5 M.

Looking at it in daylight I didn’t assume there were any, but surprise, there it is! Look pretty dang cool too. 

Conclusion 

Wrapping up, I think this is a great sneaker. From what I can tell, Saucony designed it as such. It’s flat, low, has suede overlays, and is focused more on comfort than performance. 

I love how these shoes look and if I hadn’t sawn them in half I’d be thrilled to wear them all day every day. 

The PWRRUN PB midsole is amazing, I have to say it again, but without a stiff inlaid plate, it's more suited for walking than running. 

If you’re a runner, spend the $10 more and get the Endorphin Speed, if you want cool kicks for town or the gym with a top-end midsole try the Freedom 4.
