Saucony Swerve

Twenty-five years ago the Swerve was a hefty stability shoe, before being retired. Now it’s back and it’s been on a sensible but effective diet, morphing into a stripped-back model with an impressive combination of Tigger-like bounce and an ultra-light upper that holds your foot lovingly and soundly in place. It held wide appeal for different types, shapes and sizes of runner, and was the most cushioned heel on test in the RW lab. Bottom line A nippy and durable chameleon, suitable for short races and long training runs.
