Need a good running shoe, this is it, September 24, 2009
This review is from: Saucony Women's ProGrid Hurricane 11 Running Shoe (Apparel)
I've been buying Saucony since the Jazz series back in the 1980's. The Hurricane line has had some big mistakes, such as Hurricane 9 & 10. But they finally got it right with the 11. The fit is great (I wear one size larger than normal for my marathon runs)
Once your foot enters the shoe - it's happy feet and away you go. You'll love the cushion it gives and the stability.

Love em, September 11, 2009
This review is from: Saucony Women's ProGrid Hurricane 11 Running Shoe (Apparel)
I have the Grey/pink/purple combo(besides loving these being functional, people say how pretty they are). I trained then ran and have continued to use saucony's for all of my running. Im not what you would call a natural runner. I struggle with my love/hate relationship with running. I have to work at it and this shoe helps. It has an arch support and what feels like a strong heel. every foot is different, but I personally love these:)

Great right out of the box! & Just like 8s and 10s, May 5, 2010
This review is from: Saucony Women's ProGrid Hurricane 11 Running Shoe (Apparel)
This is my third pair of Saucony Hurricanes and I continue to love them! I previous had version 8 and 10, and I was a bit worried that they'd change the design, but from what I can tell it is almost exactly the same. They fit perfectly right out of the box and I immediately went for a run and had zero "breaking in" issues -- no blisters, no soreness, no poor fitting, no issues whatsoever. The two differences I can see are the the base seems a little thicker in the 11 - -which is great -- and the midfoot seems a little wider -- also good for me. As far as fit and style, I see no differences from the 10.
I have feet/knee "issues" that these shoes work wonders for. I had knee surgery, I pronate a lot, and I have a triangular shaped foot with wide toe spread and narrow ankles (it comes from growing up barefoot in Hawaii -- your toes spread out!). So if that sounds like you, I'd recommend this shoe. It has good stabilization and a wide toe box.
The quality of these shoes is impressive. I work out a lot (5x/week) and so I replace my shoes about once a year. My Saucony 10s still have a lot of life left in them, but due to aforementioned knee issues, I try to replace shoes before my knees start complaining. The only thing is that I had to replace the shoelaces about 6 months in. Oh, and the very last shoe lace holes (right at the top of the shoe's tongue) started to break/fray recently, which encouraged me to buy the 11s.
Finally, I got the black/silver version which look quite cool and I think will age more gracefully than the white/blues that I've had previously.
