Our Verdict

Nike Structure 26

Saucony Hurricane 25

The Saucony Hurricane 25 and Nike Structure 26 are both stability trainers that rely on a classic combination of a wide outsole and guide rails along the footbed to correct over- or under-pronation. But the Hurricane 25 has several more modern innovations designed to correct over-pronation, including a dual-density arrangement of foam under the heel with a higher concentration of denser foam on the medial side to prevent inward rotation. A cutout on the lateral side of the Hurricane 25 acts as a corrective measure for over-pronation, but also makes the ride much more fluid. With its softer cushioning, the Saucony shoe feels like a modern trainer that provides support for over-pronators, while the Structure 26 feels like a classic stability shoe.
