Saucony ProGrid Jazz 13

Running shoes can be expensive, with some costing well over $100. The Saucony ProGrid Jazz 13, on the other hand, is an affordable neutral-cushioning running shoe that experts recommend as a good value. The ProGrid Jazz 13 is designed for runners with high arches and underpronators. It has a higher heel than many running shoes, which corresponds to increased cushioning in that area. Some reviewers say this provides excellent impact protection in the heel, and most wear-testers are able to achieve a comfortable fit. The Saucony ProGrid Jazz 13 also has a well-ventilated upper that keeps feet cool. However, the toebox is larger than previous versions, and some reviewers find this bothersome. If price is not a concern, more experts recommend the Brooks Glycerin 8 (Discontinued), another popular neutral-cushioning shoe.

The Saucony ProGrid Jazz 13 is brand new, so there are only a few reviews to choose from. Both the American and British editions of Runner's World test the shoe and incorporate wear-tester feedback into their analysis. User reviews are few and far between as of this point, but expect more once this running shoe has some time on the market.
