Our Verdict

Saucony Hurricane 25

Saucony Hurricane 26

The Saucony Hurricane 26 follows on from the Saucony Hurricane 25 as a deeply cushioned, very stable, and lively support shoe for daily training. Though the Hurricane 26 is a touch more protective and energetic, most runners won't notice a huge difference underfoot. However, it's also significantly lighter, so if you want a more nimble shoe, it's the pick. Otherwise, the Hurricane 25 is still a great shoe, especially if you can find it on sale.
