The Saucony Hurricane line has never lived up to its name, unless you consider a hurricane to be especially comfortable and approachable, but it has delivered some of the best running shoes of recent years for stability seekers.

I’ve enjoyed the past two models, and the Saucony Hurricane 26 improves upon both of them thanks to a new midsole foam that makes the ride softer, springier and reduces overall weight.

It’s still not a shoe I’d grab for speed sessions, but when it comes to cruising through easy long runs and daily training, it’s an impressively comfortable and supportive option.

The Saucony Hurricane 26 launched in summer 2026 and costs $170 in the U.S. and £170 in the U.K., which is far from cheap but in line with other flagship stability models like the Asics Gel-Kayano 33 and Nike Structure Plus.

The Saucony Hurricane 26 is currently available in nine colors for the men’s shoe and 10 for the women’s. There are also five colors available in a wide version.

I found it fits me well in my normal running shoe size; the same size I use across the Saucony line-up.

At 9.7oz in my US men’s size 10, it’s over an ounce lighter than the Hurricane 25, which is all down to the lighter midsole foam because it has the same 6mm drop and stack height of 41mm at the heel and 35mm at the forefoot.

The Hurricane 26’s upper is built for comfort rather than focusing on lightness and breathability, which is no bad thing in a max-cushioned shoe like this.
