Saucony Hurricane 24

Who Are Saucony Hurricane 24 For?

The Hurricane 24 is built for runners who want maximum protection and guidance underfoot — those logging steady daily miles, base-building blocks, and long weekend efforts, especially anyone who mild-to-moderately overpronates (the arch rolling inward on landing). This is a stability trainer, not a race-day flyer, so if you're chasing 5K PRs or want a lightweight snappy shoe, look elsewhere in the lineup.

Feelings and Experience

Underfoot you get a deep, soft-but-lively cushion: the PEBA-based foam has genuine bounce, so it never feels dead or mushy despite the tall stack. The ride is planted and secure, with a wide base that keeps you upright through fatigue, though that same broad, supportive platform makes it feel a touch heavy and deliberate when you try to pick up the pace.

Performance Specs

• Drop: Standard-ish daily-trainer offset (not confirmed for this model) — favors a smooth, cushioned heel-to-toe roll rather than a sharp forefoot pop.

• Cushioning: High — full-length PWRRUN PB (PEBA) superfoam for a plush, protective feel.

• Responsiveness: High — driven purely by the springy PEBA foam, with no plate for propulsion.

• Stability: Very high — a wide base plus Saucony's guidance geometry for meaningful pronation support.

• Pace: Optimal for 5:30–6:30 min/km (8:50–10:30 min/mile) — comfortable steady and easy running.

Best Distances and Maximum Speed

This shoe shines from 10K through the half and full marathon, with its sweet spot in long, controlled marathon-pace and easy long runs. It can hold a moderate tempo — its fastest effective zone is roughly 5:15–5:45 min/km (8:25–9:15 min/mile) — but push faster and the weight and stability structure start to work against you.

Technologies and Materials

The heart is a full-length PWRRUN PB midsole, a PEBA-based superfoam that delivers both cushioning and rebound without relying on a plate — none is used here. It pairs with Saucony's premium stability geometry and a wide, guiding platform, wrapped in an engineered mesh upper. Exact weight and stack height weren't provided, but expect a substantial, max-cushion feel typical of this max-stability class.
