Saucony designs and manufactures high-quality, high-performance athletic footwear for men, women, boys, and girls, with shoes ideal for running or walking, classic old-school style sneakers and track shoes, training shoes, and contemporary athletic-inspired casual shoes. Beautifully styled, all shoes feature the most advanced athletic footwear technology, including such features as the ProGrid cushioning system, a Flexion Plate that helps propel the foot forward quickly and efficiently, and the Comfortemp climate control system that keeps the shoe drier while cooling the foot and helping to prevent blisters.
Based in the United States, Saucony had its start back in 1910 in the Cambridge, Massachusetts, shop of a Russian immigrant shoemaker. The brand name comes from the Saucon River, site of one of the company's original factories, from an Indian word meaning "swiftly flowing waters," a most appropriate image for the fluid motion that Saucony shoes enable.
