Women's Saucony ProGrid Mirage

Comments about Womens Saucony ProGrid Mirage Running Shoe:

I was looking for a replacement for my beloved (discontinued) Tangents. I hoped that the Mirage would be it. These are not terrible, but they are not great either. The toe box is narrower which is a problem for me. They feel less responsive and just did not give me the feeling of joy that I got from the Tangents. They are also not durable at all. The bottom is extremely soft and was showing a obvious wear after just three runs.

I sent these back.

Thank you Saucony! It's so great to see a new design like this on the market!

This shoe offers a flexible arch with some stability and support built in. It is a great shoe for a new runner, or an experienced runner that is looking for something new and different. It would be a great way to transition into minimalist running (though this is not a minimalist shoe). Road runner groups this with stability shoes, but I really prefer the neutral shoes and I would consider it a neutral shoe.

I have been struggling with running injuries for years. I've seen several sports medicine and ortho doctors and physical therapists and nothing seems to help. I finally tried Chi/Pose methods of running but still continued to have issues. Currently I often have several issues come on during my run: some numbness in my left foot, pain in left ball of foot, and knee pain in my left knee. The numbness comes on about a mile into the run and it seems to be caused by running shoes with the larger heels and stiff soles..or rather, my running form and anatomy conflicting with these large bulky running shoes. The Saucony mirage and Brooks Launch are two shoes that seem to work for me to avoid the numbness,and the Saucony mirage provides lots of cushion yet enough stability/guidance to prevent the pain I get in the ball of my foot.

So excited to find a shoe that works for me!

I need to replace my SAUCONY® PROGRID™ MIRAGE in black/pink and cannot find a replacement shoe!!! Hoping to see this exact product in same colors back in stores/online! IT'S OK TO KEEP A GOOD LINE OUT FOR LONGER THAN ONE SEASON! I wish I had purchased two of these as soon as I realized how much I loved them!

Great shoe. First time I have tried saucony's. Knowledgable staff suggested this one and it has been terrific. Lost its resiliance sooner than some, abt 300 mi, but that's OK. Has been a terrific shoe for routine speedwork and tempos on the road. Snug heel, wide toebox and cradles the arch and midfoot w/ plenty of support. Nice looking too. Wore my first pair out but after evaluating alternatives, its the best option and I'm getting another pair

These shoes were just OK. The length was fine, but the toe box was quite narrow compared to the Tangents that I used to run in. The sole is very soft and shoed wear after just 3 runs. Overall, they were not terrible, but they did not feel that fast and responsive for a lightweight shoe.

Overall, it's a great shoe. I twisted my ankle a year ago and when I tried this one I noticed right away it has less impact on my ankle when I run.

The Kinvara was more comfortable for my feet than Mirage. Thought this might provide bit more cushioning but it seems to be just different cushioning, not more. Lightweight, good quality, like Saucony shoes in general.

I wanted a lighter shoe to wear outside and on the treadmill and these were suggested to me after describing my needs to a local store clerk. When I put them on I literally jumped up in the air. They fit better than Cinderella's slipper and I didn't want to take them off. They are extremely fast and light weight, I feel like a Ninja when I put these sneakers on, fast and furious. These are my first go to sneakers when I know I will need speed and comfort. The arch support is also excellent, I do not have to wear the insoles I normally wear and my feet feel more responsive to the ground. These sneakers are heaven sent.

I love this shoe! It is really lightweight but has great cushion. I have fallen arches and need to wear orthotics and this shoe gives me the support I need without feeling heavy. I had been wearing the Asics PT trainer but the Mirage is lighter. I use these shoes for fast track days and road races but they are comfortable and supportive enough to run in everyday.
