Ice Melt Hurricane 24 Max Cushioning Road Running Shoe - Ultimate

In this review the Ice Melt Hurricane 24 is presented as Saucony's most premium, maximum cushioning road shoe, aimed at runners and walkers who prioritize plush protection and all-day comfort. The single biggest reason to buy is the cushioning platform: with PWRRUN PB foam and a generous midsole stack the Hurricane 24 delivers noticeably softer landings and confident support, making it a strong pick for long runs, recovery days, or anyone with a preference for a highly cushioned ride.

Key Features

• Max Cushioning: A revolutionary platform is designed to provide deep, consistent shock absorption for long miles and extended wear.
• PWRRUN PB: The advanced foam offers a lightweight but resilient feel that maintains responsiveness while prioritizing comfort.
• Ortholite Insole: Built-in ORTHOLITE improves underfoot comfort and breathability so the shoe stays comfortable during multi-hour runs.
• Center Path Technology: The center path guides footstrike and helps create a smoother, steadier transition through stance for more efficient road running.
• Protective Design: The overall build is profoundly protective, with a platform that reduces impact and shields feet from fatigue over longer sessions.

Who It's For

The Hurricane 24 suits road runners who want maximum cushioning without adding excessive weight, and anyone needing extra protection on longer training days or recovery runs. It will also appeal to walkers and runners with a preference for a plush, secure ride and noticeable arch support.

Runners who prefer a very narrow, minimal or highly responsive racing shoe should look elsewhere, and those needing a radically wide toe box may want to try before they buy since customer feedback on fit is mixed.
