Ride 16
Ride 16 is a neutral daily trainer for routine road miles. Its PWRRUN midsole and PWRRUN+ sockliner provide balanced cushioning, while higher sidewalls let the foot sit into the shoe for a smooth heel-to-toe transition. Compared with Ride 15, the upper gets fit-focused changes: breathable mesh, a midfoot gilley lacing loop and a semi-gusseted tongue. The cushioned platform stays familiar for everyday runs.

Weight measurement and plate details
- Weight note
- Direct men's single-shoe weight from the manufacturer-provided SP23 catalog. It differs by 1g from converting the authorized retailer's rounded 8.8oz value, so the directly stated 250g is preferred.
- Plate note
- The exact Saucony Australia page and the bounded Ride 16 section of the manufacturer-provided SP23 catalog identify PWRRUN, a PWRRUN+ sockliner, weight, drop, and stack, with no carbon structure. The same catalog explicitly labels plates on plated models. Carbon_plate is therefore false.
