Weight 368gEvaluation Traditionally motion control shoes have tended to be heavy, brick-like creatures best suited to big guys. But not all runners who need bags of stability want a heavy shoe. Saucony’s GRID Stabil is lighter than many motion

Weight 366gEvaluation The new Stabil has lost some weight. That’s in order to better distinguish itself from Saucony’s other £75 motion control shoe, the heavier-duty GRID Hammer. While Saucony pitches the Stabil at moderate to severe overpronators
