From the moment we lace up our shoes, to the way we feel when we hit our stride and experience the runner’s high: running inspires us. For good. Saucony was founded way back in 1898, just two years after the first modern day Olympics and one year after the first Boston Marathon. Ever since, we’ve been loyal to the sport, building goodness into every product and inviting millions around the world to run with us. Along the way, we discovered running is a means to an end. We run for fitness and mental health. For ice cream and beer. For ourselves and for our communities. Running brings out the best in us, and bridges the gap between the people we are and the people we want to be. So whether it’s to find our inner strength, discover our world, or be part of something bigger than ourselves, we run for the goodness of running. And that’s been at the heart of our brand every step of our journey. Saucony is a division of Wolverine Worldwide, the world’s leading maker of casual, work, outdoor, athletic and children’s footwear. Wolverine Worldwide is one of the largest non-athletic footwear companies in the world, with a unique portfolio of 12 brands.
