Our verdict
Heavy and bulky it may be, but the Hurricane 25 scored higher with independent reviewers than most stability shoes we track. RunRepeat's lab review put it in its top band, and the other two reviews we read liked the ride just as much. It's Saucony's most cushioned support shoe: 38mm of stack under the heel, a 6mm drop and a wide base that keeps an inward-rolling foot in line without a hard medial post. At 283g it isn't built for intervals, and nobody we read tried to use it that way. It earns its £160 RRP on slow miles, recovery days and the back half of long runs, when your form starts to fade. Reviewers disagree on how much it moved on from the 24. Believe in the Run found it bouncier and less plodding, while a UK panel called it a mild update to a similar shoe. Neutral runners who like a big, planted shoe get on with it too.

- Padded upperHolds your heel and midfoot securely, though it traps heat
Who it suits
Who should buy it
- Overpronators who want maximum cushioning on easy and long runs
- Neutral runners who like a wide, planted platform for recovery days
- High-mileage runners who want their legs protected late in a long run
- Runners who find a firm medial post uncomfortable
Who should not buy it
- You want one shoe for easy days and faster sessions, as it lacks agility
- You run hot, because the upper traps heat
- You have a wide forefoot and dislike a tapered toe box
- You need firm, corrective support rather than gentle guidance

Extra information
Fit & sizing
Every review we read put it true to size, and a UK panel of four all wore their normal running size, so start there. Volume is where views differ. Lab testing called it medium width with enough toe box height, but one reviewer flagged a toe box that tapers sharply on the outside edge, which could pinch a wide forefoot. If Saucony has rubbed your little toe before, try a pair on before you buy. The upper is thick and padded, and reviewers found the heel and midfoot hold secure, so the fit itself is rarely the complaint (warmth is, see upper comfort). If you usually need a roomier toe box, the Glycerin GTS 22 is worth trying alongside it.
Performance breakdown
Ride & feel
Soft on landing, with more spring than a max-support shoe usually has. Reviewers put that down to the bouncier core foam and a gentle rocker that rolls you through to toe-off. One tester had to hold back on easy runs because the shoe kept nudging the pace up. It still feels like a big shoe. Changing pace is hard work, and one of four UK testers found it overbuilt even for easy running. Most of that panel, all neutral runners, still picked it over the Triumph 23 for easy days and kept the Triumph for anything quicker.
Cushioning
The 38mm heel and 32mm forefoot stack puts this near the top of the stability category, and reviewers describe it as plush without the dead, sinking feel of some max-cushion trainers. Lab testing found the foam softer than a typical stability shoe but slightly firmer than the Hurricane 24, and read that extra firmness as better support. It protects your legs well on long runs, though on shorter, faster work the softness gets in the way.
Stability
The support comes from shape, not a post. Raised sidewalls, a wide base and flared edges guide the foot, and reviewers with mild overpronation found it kept them in line without feeling pushed. One tester saw no medial wear on the midsole after their miles. It's a stable platform rather than a corrective one. If you need firm, hard stopping on the inside of the foot, the Gel-Kayano 32 was described as the firmer option by one panel.
Upper & comfort
The upper is padded and comfortable, and the heel collar holds well. Breathability is the weak point: lab testing found an inner layer blocks most of the airflow despite ventilation holes in the mesh, and a UK panel agreed it runs warm, which matters in a British summer. Looks are plain. One reviewer called it a dad shoe.
