In Testing

Previous seasons of the Hurricane have always felt a little intrusive on the arch for my overpronation, so I was never able to warm to them. Once having tried this new (and improved!) version, however, it felt like a completely different shoe.

I first noticed the cushioning, which looked quite thick, but in reality, felt incredibly light. The anti-pronation features also kicked in as soon as I set off on an initial run, during which I felt my posture was more aligned than usual.

Fortunately, I continue to harbour these positive feelings with my runs in the Hurricane and would recommend all runners who need strong overpronation support to look at them with fresh eyes.

Verdict

Saucony’s Hurricane has made a powerful return, having been redesigned top to bottom with a new approach to stability and cushioning. The holistic Center Path Technology, alongside the plush incrediLUX FOAM foam, is what makes the Hurricane 26 stand out. Ideal for runners who overpronate but also desire a soft and responsive landing, as well as walkers who want something to keep them going for another couple of miles!

Saucony Hurricane 26 Comparison

Product	Comparison
Asics Gel Kayano	More traditional stability system with a firmer, more structured feel. Similar level of maximalist cushioning, but the Kayano feels slightly heavier and less responsive. Higher 8mm drop. Better for moderate-to-severe overpronators. Slightly higher price point.
Asics GT-2000	Less cushioned with a lower stack, closer to the ground, with a firmer, more responsive feel. Lighter and more streamlined but offers less protection for long or easy runs. Higher drop at 8mm. Lower price point.
Hoka Arahi	Firmer and less plush underfoot, with a more controlled and stable ride. Lighter and less bulky, with a smooth rocking sole. Similar stack height but a higher 8mm drop. Lower price point.
Mizuno Wave Inspire	A bit firmer and a more traditional trainer feel, slightly more structured and a more rigid transition. Lower stack, less bounciness, but lighter and more responsive. Considerably higher drop at 10mm, more suited for heel strikers. Lower price point.
