If your training is all about racking up miles with a side of joint-saving stability and no surprises along the way, the Saucony Hurricane 24 might just be your next go-to. This isn’t one of those old-school, brick-like stability shoes—it’s a plush, smooth operator that mixes Saucony’s top-tier cushioning with a sleek, modern approach to support.
Whether you’re on the heavier side, dealing with overpronation, or just need something to baby your legs through double-digit days, the Hurricane 24 delivers structure without the stiffness—and comfort without compromise.
Upper
The moment you lace these up, you’ll feel the balance Saucony nailed here: a breathable mesh upper that actually lets your feet breathe (it’s a 5/5 for airflow) while still wrapping snugly and holding shape. No swampy feet on hot days—huge win for summer training or warm-weather runners.
There’s just enough padding around the collar and tongue to feel comfy without veering into “stuffed animal” territory. The heel locks in with no slip, and the midfoot fit is snug but not clingy. Bonus points for a spacious toe box that plays nice with wider feet or longer runs. We didn’t hear many complaints about sizing—most runners stuck with their usual Saucony size without issue.
What’s not perfect? The non-gusseted tongue can slide a bit during speedier runs, and while the mesh feels dreamy, it might not be the most battle-hardened fabric out there once you hit the 200-mile mark.
Midsole
Here’s the soul of the shoe. Saucony blended their super-bouncy PWRRUN PB foam with the more grounded PWRRUN—think of it as spring and stability in a handshake. The result? A gently propulsive ride that still feels anchored and steady, even as your legs start fading late in the game.
This isn’t just a pillowy mess underfoot. It’s structured softness, the kind that supports you from first stride to final push-off. And with the built-in rocker, transitions feel smooth, almost automatic. It’s like they took the Triumph, added a safety net, but skipped the usual stiffness you get with stability shoes. Ideal for long runs, slow days, or recovery miles when you want to protect your legs without dragging.
Outsole
Down below, Saucony kept things practical. The rubber outsole grabs onto just about anything—dry roads, park paths, even some light trail duty. It’s classic Saucony in the best way: sticky where it needs to be, smooth where it should be.
Rubber coverage is generous but not overbearing, and those front flex grooves add enough give to keep toe-offs natural. It also scores well for torsional rigidity (4 out of 5), meaning you’ll feel supported on uneven surfaces without your foot feeling locked in a cast.
Fit and sizing
Fit-wise, the Hurricane 24 gets it right. The shoe hugs in all the right places while still leaving room where it counts. The upper molds to your foot over time, and the padding walks the line between cozy and overdone.
As mentioned earlier, sizing feels spot on. You probably won’t need to size up or down. And that roomy toe box? A godsend on longer days or for anyone with a wider forefoot. A lot of stability shoes skimp here—this one doesn’t.
Comfort
Here’s the thing that makes this shoe stand out: the underfoot feel. If max cushion and comfort are your priorities, the Hurricane 24 absolutely delivers. It’s plush, luxurious, but still feels responsive enough to keep you moving.
Despite tipping the scale just over 11 ounces, the weight disappears once you’re in motion. It’s the kind of shoe you reach for when your legs are cooked, your form is shot, and you still have five miles to go. And honestly? It’s comfy enough to wear all day—even if you’re just standing around or on your feet nonstop.
Performance
Let’s be clear: this isn’t a race-day shoe. But it might just help you recover fast enough to show up to the next one in better shape. The Hurricane 24 is built for mileage, support, and forgiveness.
It shines on long runs, slow training days, and anytime you’re prioritizing joint health or managing fatigue. Heavy runners or those who overpronate mildly to moderately will feel right at home. It’s not the pick for speedwork or those who obsess over weight savings, but even runners who usually avoid stability shoes have found this one surprisingly smooth. No aggressive arch, no clunky midsole, just a ride that gets out of your way.
Durability
Durability looks solid so far. After 30 to 40 miles, there’s no noticeable breakdown in the foam or outsole, and the ride still feels consistent and lively.
If past Saucony builds using this foam combo are any clue, you can expect these to hold up past 300 miles—especially if you’re a midfoot or heel striker. The only wildcard is that breathable upper. It’s awesome for keeping your feet cool, but could show signs of wear earlier than heavier-duty mesh.
Final verdict
The Saucony Hurricane 24 is what happens when a brand listens and builds for real-world runners. It’s the kind of shoe that checks all the boxes for max-cushioned support without the old-school baggage.
If you want reliable comfort for everyday miles, long training sessions, or just something that makes your legs feel good when they shouldn’t, this one’s a winner. It’s not flashy, it’s not trying to be fast—it just works. And sometimes, that’s exactly what you need.
