Saucony - Expensive, yet utterly poor quality
I bought a pair of Saucony running shoes in July 2018 for R2350. I run with them on average once per week. 2 months ago, 1 shoe stared ripping. I thought maybe I had run into some barbed wire, but a week ago, the other shoe started ripping in the same place. Upon closer inspection, it is easy to see that it is a seam in both shoes that has ripped.
I know shoes don't last forever, but a pair that cost in excess of R2300 lasting less 16 months (when not used that much) is actually crazy.
I have tried to contact Saucony via their website (the only place they list to contact them), and as yet have received zero response.
I would really like to know if they have received similar complaints about this model of shoe, and how they can justify such a short lifespan for a ridiculously expensive shoe.
Saucony? Are you out there? Will you perhaps respond?

I used my pair of R2400 Saucony's for walking, over a period of 16 months.
In the words of the supplier 'They are simply finished/worn out'.
Thus, the life expectancy of a pair of R2400 Saucony's is 16 months.
Probably about 6 months if one actually used them for running.
Steer well clear of Saucony's.
