About Saucony

Saucony has spent years studying the biomechanics of top athletes. Saucony's goal? To develop creatively engineered systems that maximize your performance in your specific activity, allowing you to focus on the activity instead of the equipment. From Saucony's studies have come many innovative concepts. Advanced technologies-like Grid, the first sole-based stability and cushioning system—provide an advantage to athletes of all types.

Saucony designs, develops and markets performance-oriented athletic footwear, athletic apparel and casual leather footwear.

In 1968, The Hyde Company, an American shoe company known for their excellence in manufacturing since the 1930's, acquired the Saucony Shoe Manufacturing Company of Kutztown, PA. Saucony running shoes remained the closely-kept secret of a small group of serious runners until 1977 when the company's shoes were recognized with an award given by a U.S. magazine. The resulting publicity established the Saucony name and the ongoing reputation for high quality and innovative technical performance for which it is known today.
