Overall though the upper of the shoe is really good for being so simplistic. The volume is a little bit lower through the forefoot which may not do great with excessive swelling. The mesh is pretty comfortable to me and the gusted tongue does help create a better lockdown throughout.
There is a toe guard and sidewall in the midfoot present that might cause a little bit of rubbing for those with wider feet. The fit of the shoe is slightly snug through the midfoot and forefoot. There are minimal overlays throughout and no additional reinforcement in any specific areas. The upper is pretty minimal throughout to keep the cost of the shoe down. Overall the upper is simple, slightly snug with an unstructured front and a secure heel.ĭavid: The Saucony Axon fits true to size in my normal men's 9.5. I have run sockless in the Axon without much issue, but would not do long miles as there is a mild toe guard that may cause some rubbing without socks. I did not have to lace lock the shoe, but did notice some slippage in the midfoot and forefoot with turns. The heel is a bit more snug, which combined with the additional padding helps lock my foot in well in the rear. This did not bother me at all due to the padding at the heel counter and the fact that it only comes up about 1/2 to 3/4 height. This does a decent job of holding the tongue and I had no slippage. The tongue is fairly wide and is gusseted with a strip in the posterior midfoot. There is also some flexibility there, so expect the forefoot to stretch with time. The mesh is very comfortable and fairly breathable. This was noticeable initially, but broke in with some flexibility within a few miles. The forefoot in particular tapers, especially on the lateral side. The fit width wise is slightly snug, although somewhat unstructured in the midfoot and forefoot. Matt: The Saucony Axon fits me true to size in my normal men's US size 10. This shoe lacks some of the glamour of the Endorphin Shift, but still delivers an enjoyable and protective ride and can function for many types of runs.

The Axon, a component of the nerve that helps transmit electrical signal, is an offshoot of the Endorphin series with clear inspiration from the Endorphin Shift. Nathan: In the world of an increasing amount (thankfully) of quality "budget trainers", Saucony comes in with their own unique option, the higher stack, rockered Axon. The shoe only comes in at $100 US and for the right runner is probably worth much more than that. There is a little bit reinforcement in the outsole and midsole due to a plastic guiderail on the medial and lateral aspect of the midfoot that creates some inherent rigidity and stability for those that may need some light stability elements. A great entry level shoe for those who want to experiment with a max stack shoe without breaking the bank, the Saucony Axons delivers a ride above its price point.ĭavid: The Saucony Axon is a high stack neutral training shoe that features a rockered sole and a fairly firm ride.
The upper fits snug, with few reinforcements, but opens with time. The rocker is noticeable, but combined with some sidewalls and other features create a uniquely stable ride.

Inspired by the Endorphin series, the Axon features full length PWRRUN in the midsole for a firmer but responsive ride.
Matt: One of the rare max cushion $100 shoes, the Saucony Axon is a high stack and rockered shoe.
