I love the shoes, but 2 of my last 3 pairs have broken down in the uppers in about 3 months. I do low-mid mileage with a lot of cross training. Has anyone else had problems with this brand? Most recent pair was C2 Glide. They fit like no other, but I'm not happy with the durability.
Hey, I stand by my sauconys. I do 70 a week and my hurricane 11's have held up for 500 miles and will likely get me to about 700 maybe before i break out a new pair.
are you wearing them for your "lot of cross-training"? if so, that's probably the problem.
Noticed the same thing when I switched this year-I will continue to buy Saucony but I have noticed they do break down faster than Nike.
I have a pair with 1059 miles on them.
I run a lot of miles exclusively in Saucony (Mirage, Kinvara and Ride) and have had no problems with durability. But cross training puts more lateral force on shoes, so that might be why they are breaking down.
they are owned by the same company that owns Payless Shoes.
i'm just saying wrote:

No. They are owned by the same company that owns Stride Rite who makes quality childrens footwear.
you are both correct.
In 2007, Stride Rite bought Saucony. Then in 2008, Collective Brands Inc (owner of Payless Shoes) bought Stride Rite. Thus, making them the owners of Saucony, in addition to Sperry, Pro Keds, Jessica Simpson Shoes, Stride Rite Kids Group, etc.

My bad. Missed that detail.

Two problems- using running shoes for cross training will make them wear down faster. Also, you're using one of the cheapest shoes they make. I wouldn't expect a cheap Saucony to last any longer than a cheap Nike or a cheap NB.
