Echelon 9 Wide

Verdict

The Saucony Echelon 9 Wide is a high-performing option in its class — a max cushion wide scoring 86/100 in SoleHunt's data-driven evaluation, drawing on 0 consumer reviews and 0 independent expert tests. Tipping the scales at 296g, it is standard weight for a max cushion wide. The 36mm heel stack — a generous stack — delivers a comfortably cushioned ride at 26 HC, returning 64% of impact energy and feeling responsive and lively underfoot. Geometrically, the Echelon 9 Wide runs on a mid 8mm drop that works with most running gaits, with a 28mm forefoot stack that maintains the traditional heel-elevated geometry runners with tight calves often prefer. Fit-wise, the toebox measures 102mm — extra-wide, suited to broad or bunion-prone feet — and the upper is available in D/2E/4E widths. Extra room in toe box and midfoot. Best wide Saucony. The removable insole makes it compatible with custom orthotics. It is designed for wide feet, bunions, long runs, heavy runners, orthotics, and performs less well for narrow feet or racing.
