Saucony ProGrid Stabil CS review
Saucony ProGrid Stabil CS running shoe is perfect for excessive overpronators who are a bit on the heavy side. It offers superior motion control, a smooth, cushioned ride, and a supportive, comfortable upper that locks the foot down and keeps it in place.
Saucony ProGrid Stabil CS is a running shoe that is meant for bigger and heavier runners who tend to overpronate during the gait cycle.
Saucony ProGrid Stabil CS has been on the market since spring 2009. The new version of this sneaker, the Saucony ProGrid Stabil CS 2, was released to the general public for purchase in spring 2011.
In March 2009 the Saucony ProGrid Stabil CS motion control running shoe won the Runner’s World Best Update Award for the improvements Saucony made in the amount of comfort, flexibility, and fit of the running shoe.
You can read reviews of how the Saucony ProGrid Stabil CS compares to other shoes such as the Saucony ProGrid Paramount 3.
The CS in Saucony ProGrid Stabil CS stands for Comfort and Stability. The medial post in the midsole of the Saucony ProGrid Stabil CS, which controls overpronation, runs all the way from the heel up to the forefoot.
This gives runners who tend to run on the inner side of their feet a smooth transition from heel-strike to toe-off. In addition, the flex grooves in the outsole under the forefoot add to the flexibility provided by the Saucony ProGrid Stabil CS.
Saucony ProGrid Stabil CS also has something called Arch-Lock, which is a piece of foam welded over the arch of the foot. This piece of foam locks the laces tightly over the mid-foot, so improves the fit of the running shoe and gives the foot a really nice wrap.
Another great benefit of the Saucony ProGrid Stabil CS is that it has a roomy toe box that accommodates orthotics and the flat-arch of runners who tend to run in motion control running shoes.
The Saucony ProGrid Stabil CS comes in models for both men and women, but the women's model weighs approximately 332 grams (11.7 oz), which is 0.1 oz (3 grams) heavier than the Saucony ProGrid Stabil CS 2 when you compare motion control running shoes by weight.
The suggested retail price of the Saucony ProGrid Stabil CS is US $115, which is approximately US $5 cheaper than Saucony ProGrid Stabil CS 2 when you compare motion control running shoes by price.
