Our Verdict

Saucony Hurricane 25

Nike Structure Plus

The Saucony Hurricane 25 is a better choice than the Nike Structure Plus for most runners. It's more cushioned and much bouncier, making it a more comfortable and lively pick for most training runs. The Structure Plus is a bit more stable and has a higher heel-to-toe drop, so it's the better option for runners who want a more traditional support shoe.
