About
In their 121 years of hard training, Saucony has seen it all. They’ve seen their shoes transform from humble leather cleats into today’s lightweight wonders, sponsored some particularly badass runners like Rod Dixon, and even played a part in the shoes Neil Armstrong wore for his “one small step” onto the moon.
