Saucony’s natural running range has revolutionised the running shoe market, led by the Kinvara.

However, it’s the Mirage which has become recognised as the real runners shoe. With a touch of guidance from the medial arch unit, it’s suitable for the large category of runners who need some support in their everyday training shoe.

The Mirage 3 is the solution for runners seeking an incredibly lightweight, responsive ride with a touch of guidance.

FlexFilm reduces the number of layers in the upper for a seamless, flexible feel, and the bevelled, decoupled heel provides a smooth, efficient transition. The forefoot is re-engineered with deeper, more substantial flex grooves for a super-responsive ride.

About Stability Running Shoes

To determine the correct type of running shoe for your feet, use the tried and tested "wet foot test". Dip your foot into water and then stand on a surface that will show your footprint - a towel or piece of paper or cardboard. The shape of your wet footprint indicates the amount of stability you might need in your shoe. If your footprint looks like the one on the right (with a a flare, but with the forefoot and heel connected by a broad band.) then you should choose shoes from the stability category on this page. Stability shoes offer a good blend of cushioning, medial support (to limit excessive inward rolling of the foot, which can cause injury) and durability. To provide stability, they often have a medial post or dual-density midsole - these are features that provide a firmer density under the inner edge of your foot. You should buy these if you’re a midweight runner who doesn't have any severe motion control problems and wants a shoe with some medial support and good durability The Normal Foot Normal feet have a normal-sized arch and will leave a wet footprint that has a flare, but shows the forefoot and heel connected by a broad band. A normal foot lands on the outside of the heel and rolls inwards slightly to absorb shock. It's the foot of a runner who is biomechanically efficient and therefore doesn't need a motion control shoe. Best shoes: Stability shoes with moderate control features.
