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.

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:)

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.

These are the best series of running shoes my wife has ever found and she has been running religiously for over 20 years... God forbid they stop making the series, I dont know what she would do!

I just got these specifically for running. I am not a marathon runner - maybe 12-15 miles per week. As another reviewer said, shoes are a very personal thing, but I absolutely love these. They are really comfortable out of the box and the arch support is great. A good shoe for someone like me that has some ankle flex when they run (they do a good job stabilizing the foot). I got a 1/2 size bigger for running.

I was a die-hard fan of the original Jazz running shoe until it became a "sneaker." The original Jazz eventually morphed into a cheapy senior-look leisure shoe...the indignity! Why was that ever allowed to happen? I should have bought two dozen pairs way-back-when when I found that I liked the fit, comfort, stability and durability of the Jazz and later Jazz Grid.

I fast-walk 4 miles daily M-F on a university track and have been doing so since the early '80s so I know which shoe of those I've tried over the years delivers what I want/need in a running shoe. After the demise of the Jazz-as-I-knew-it and years of pinched toes/blackened toe nails, quickly worn-out outsoles from Adidas et al, it took me awhile to rediscovered the curved last, generous toe area and narrow heel area of the Jazz in the Hurricane 11 Progrid running shoe. Fit and comfort at last. Should buy a dozen before these morph...

Not crazy about the look though--that segmented bulbous heel...Not attractive. And the over-the-top visual busyness of the shoe top. How about a more minimalist, stream-lined look? Also, do wish Saucony would come out with REAL COLORS other than the boring whites w/ baby blue or other pastel accents they offer. Docked it 1 star for aesthetics.

This was an excellent purchase for me. I am very pleased with the feel and comfort of the Progrid Stability Running Shoe. Transaction went very smoothly. Would recommend product for those who need extra arch support.

this shoe seems to be stiffer than the Hurricane 9 shoe I once loved and can no longer find. I'm hoping they mellow out as I wear them.

I owned hurricane 9s and loved them, but the 11 seems loose and my heel comes up out of the shoe. I ordered a regular width and my same size -- the length was correct, but they are too wide across my foot. Ok for walking, but horrible for exercising. Wish I hadn't worn them once so I could send them back.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this shoe! This is the only one that I buy anymore. Excellent support and fits GREAT! I would recommend this shoe to anyone!
