Saucony
running shoes are distinguished by their unique technical features
that give runners the definitive competitive edge. Apart from
technical running shoes, Saucony also offers a wide range of
walking shoes, trail running shoes, fitness trainers,
cross-trainers, casual leather shoes, athletic apparel and related
accessories. The Saucony brand also includes Saucony Originals - a
classic/retro line of technical running shoes that feature styles
from the early 1980's.
HISTORY OF SAUCONY:
The Saucony company has its roots dating back to the 1910's when
Abraham Hyde set up a footwear company called A.R. Hyde and Sons.
This is followed by a half century of manufacturing a wide variety
of footwear, including carpet slippers, ice skates, army boots,
and even astronaut boots.
In 1968, the Hyde company acquired the Saucony name and added
Saucony running shoes to its stable of products. However, before
the late 1970's, Saucony running shoes were largely a best-kept
secret among a niche group of discerning runners who could count
on their shoes to improve their performance. It all changed after
Saucony shoes were acknowledged with an excellence award given by
a popular U.S. magazine. The publicity that followed helped
established Saucony sneakers as one of the leading running shoe
brands on the market.
In 2005, Saucony became a part of the Stride Rite Group, which
also included other footwear brand names such as Keds, Sperry
Top-Sider, and Robeez.
SAUCONY TRIVIAL:
