Our Verdict

Saucony Hurricane 25

Nike Structure Plus

The Nike Structure Plus and Saucony Hurricane 25 are both mild support trainers that manage to add guidance features without making the usual big sacrifices in cushioning and comfort. The Nike has a higher 10 mm drop and a ride that feels more in line with a classic support shoe, just with more cushioning than the category usually offers. The Saucony pushes further into the modern side of things, delivering much more cushioning and noticeably more bounce from the midsole while staying in a similar weight range. It also uses a lower-drop setup, which gives it a less traditional feel overall.
