Saucony, Inc. announced that both the Grid Shadow 9 and the Grid Kineta Walk have been named a “best” by SHAPE in the magazine’s 2005 Spring Shoe Review.

In the review, SHAPE named the Grid Shadow 9 as “Best Value” in the running category and the Grid Kineta Walk as “Best For Fast Walkers” in the walking category.

“After countless test runs and walks to rate comfort, cushioning and stability, we narrowed the field to 15 standouts, two of which are Saucony,” said Sarah Bowen Shea, contributing footwear editor for SHAPE and the review supervisor. “Both the Grid Shadow 9 and the Grid Kineta Walk won raves for comfort, in particular.”

The new Grid Shadow 9 features Saucony’s patented Strike Guide™ and Arch Lock Cage™ midfoot wrap, the visible Grid System™ and forefoot HRC™. The Grid Kineta Walk addresses the needs of the fitness walker in a fast package.
