Saucony Hurricane 24 vs Saucony Hurricane 25:
Which to Choose

The biggest change is under the hood. The Hurricane 24 runs a full-length PWRRUN PB midsole — all superfoam, top to bottom — which gives it a genuinely lively, springy bounce despite the tall stack and earns it the higher responsiveness rating of the two. The Hurricane 25 reworks that into a dual-density stack: a plush PWRRUN PB top layer sitting over a firmer PWRRUN base. The result is the softer, more forgiving initial step-in (it's rated maximum cushioning versus the 24's already-high level), but transitions feel a touch more muted and controlled rather than propulsive, since that firmer base tames some of the pure foam rebound. Stack height is effectively unchanged — Saucony lists both at 38/32mm — so this isn't about more or less shoe underfoot; it's about how that foam is layered. Drop nudges up marginally, from 6mm on the 24 to 7mm on the 25, a difference you're unlikely to feel. Weight, though, moves in the 25's favor: it comes in around 283g in a men's US 9, trimmed down from roughly 302g on the 24. Both are still unmistakably heavy, deliberate shoes — weight is the standing trade-off for this much stability and cushion — but the 25 is the lighter of the pair. Stability is a near-tie: both lean on a wide base and geometry rather than a firm medial post, correcting gently without feeling intrusive, with the 24 rated a hair firmer and more planted and the 25 tuned to nudge more intuitively. Two smaller but real refinements round out the 25: a roomier toe box (the 24's forefoot was notably tapered) and a redesigned XT-900 carbon-rubber outsole with less exposed foam for better durability and grip. On use case, the 24 stretches from 10K through the half and up to the marathon, where its full-length superfoam pays off over long distance; the 25's catalog sweet spot pulls back to the 10K-to-half range and easy/long training miles.
