Saucony: Which model of running shoes to choose?
The history of Saucony running shoes
Born in Pennsylvania along the Saucony Creek, the Saucony brand began by producing shoes for children and adults.
It was only in 1968, after a takeover, that the company began to produce running shoes.
The brand became very popular to the general public in the 1980s, thanks in particular to its successes on the New York and Boston marathons. Technical improvements and R&D investments are bearing fruit and the American brand is present on the podiums again and again.
