Who should buy the Saucony Hurricane 24 ?
This shoe is a great option for runners needing some added stability. Maybe you overpronate or you’re rehabbing an injury and could use extra support. Outside of running, they’re also super comfy for anyone spending long hours on their feet.
Who should not buy the Saucony Hurricane 24 ?
It should seem obvious by now but nothing about this shoe screams “nimble” or “speedy”. They’re not a race shoe for moderate to elite runners and they’re not all that light compared to dedicated racing shoes.
Saucony Hurricane 24 Introduction
Any shoe that has many versions warrants a certain amount of respect and the Hurricane 24 is no different. In fact, Saucony actually cancelled the Hurricane model after version 23 in 2022 and was eventually brought back by popular demand. That’s consumer commitment if I’ve ever seen it! With that said, they had to “bring it” for the 24 and they certainly did.
The Hurricane 24 incorporates PWRRUN PB foam and PWRRUN FRAME technology as its biggest features are cushioning and stability. They offer similar cushioning to the Saucony Triumph 22, but additional stability for those who need it. Outside of Saucony, Brooks Adrenaline GTS 23 is a comparable option although a bit firmer and lighter than the Hurricane 24.
They sit at 38mm in the heel and 32mm in the toe to create a 6mm drop which suits my stride very well for medium to long runs. Size 9 men’s weigh in at 10.6 oz, .8 oz less than the 23 model and finally the price tag is $160 which sits at the higher end of the market and some of their competitors. Having said that, I loved the features in this shoe and would be willing to pay the additional $10-$20 more than other options.
Saucony Hurricane 24 First Impressions
The appearance of these shoes closely resemble the Triumph 22. Both stylish and quality built. I received the While/Gray/Neon colorway which I liked quite a bit. They have a clean yet modern appearance and the neon midsole really pops.
On my feet, the shoes had a very natural feel. They laced up comfortably and contoured flawlessly to my foot. Within minutes of trying them on, I was out on my first run. Almost immediately, I noticed the firm ride of the PWRRUN midsole. At the same time, the rocker design eased the transition through each stride.
My thoughts after the initial run were that this would be a shoe for easy runs and recovery days. I wouldn’t be using them to break any speed or distance records.
Saucony Hurricane 24 Upper
The upper is composed of a high quality, engineered mesh material. The shoes fit true to size and as far as width is concerned they are on the wider side. I liked everything about the fit and feel from the moment I put them on.
There was a natural, familiar comfort which says a lot about Saucony’s design and craftsmanship. Also, I was able to get a consistent and secure lockdown in the heel which is always a plus for me. Even wearing the shoes untied felt more secure than others being tied. That says a lot.
One thing to point out is that the upper on the thicker side. These shoes don’t have noticeable breathability that others may feature. This wasn’t an issue for me during the testing period as winter temperatures were in the 30s, but it is something to me aware of. I envision them being quite hot and uncomfortable on asphalt in summer months.
Saucony Hurricane 24 Sole Unit
I really enjoyed the sole unit of the Hurricane 24. This shoe shines at medium range distances and slow, steady paces. Think anything up to a half marathon would be ideal.
They incorporate a late stage rocker shape with a beveled heel. In this case, the rocker curve is located towards the front of the shoe. This provides added forgiveness and a smooth transition for heel strikers although I consider these shoes to have a rather firm ride. Overall, I could go out and enjoy some easy miles without thinking about the shoes.
To me, the best running shoes are the ones you don’t have to think about.
There are two midsole foam technologies found in the Hurricane 24s. First is PWRRUN PB which makes up the majority of the midsole that you see. It is Saucony’s best cushioning foam and uses PEBA technology. One benefit to PWRRUN PB is that the foam will perform consistently in all weather conditions and temperatures. It doesn’t get super firm when the weather is cold or mushy feeling on hot summer days.
Supporting the PWRRUN PB is PWRRUN… confusing I know. This is an EVA foam which is more firm and provides the stability in order to call these a stability shoe. There is much less of this compared to PWRRUN PB and is mostly responsible for the firm ride that you may experience.
Saucony Hurricane 24 Conclusions
The Saucony Hurricane 24 may not be my favorite running shoe ever but I enjoyed them much more than I expected.
They’re not the lightest or most nimble.
But these shoes can fill the role of being a great stability option or recovery shoe and are comfortable for everyday wear. Saucony made a good choice by reviving the Hurricane 24.

Been a Hurricane fan forever and this version’s a winner. Finally lighter but still got that plush feel I need. Hit 300 miles in these mostly on easy and recovery runs. You get the stability without feeling like you’re wearing a brick – way smoother than my old Adrenaline GTS. That PWRRUN+ foam is just right – cushioned but still keeps some pop. Only complaint is they get pretty toasty in the summer. Crushed two 20-milers in these during marathon prep and they felt great the whole way.

The Hurricane 24 exceeded my expectations during my marathon build-up. Logging 250+ miles in these, the stability features work seamlessly with the PWRRUN+ cushioning. Despite being on the heavier side, they feel surprisingly nimble for a max-cushioned stability shoe. Perfect for long runs – used them for multiple 20-milers and recovery days. The upper could be more breathable, but the locked-down fit is worth the trade-off. Coming from the Triumph 20, these offer similar plushness with added stability. Definitely worth the investment for runners needing support on long distances.

At my local running store checking these out – bit shocked at the price jump from my Hurricane 23s! The cushioning feels great though. Anyone switch from Hoka Arahi to these? My overpronation needs something stable but don’t want to feel like I’m running in bricks.

The Hurricane 24 has been my daily trainer for the past three months, covering about 250 miles. The redesign is a huge improvement – the max cushioning really shines on long runs while maintaining stability. I’ve used these primarily for easy runs between 8-15 miles, and they’ve been incredibly consistent. The weight reduction is noticeable compared to the 23, though they’re still on the heavier side. Upper breathability could be better, but the lockdown is excellent. They remind me of the Brooks Adrenaline but with more cushioning. Did a recent 15-mile long run in these and they still felt fresh at the end. Great option for stability runners who want more cushioning.

I ordered the hurricane 24 on a big discount but sent it back.
My saucony size is US11 but the Guide 17 I am running in are big and wide so I ordered size 10.5. However, the hurricane 24 runs small. There is also less height in the toe box.
I can understand the remarks that the shoe is a warm / hot shoe. The only place where there is some ventilation is the toebox. For every other place there is no ventilation. A thick tongue and the mid and heel sections are covered in plastic. The expected hotness made me decide to wait for the Hurricane 25 which looks like has better overall ventilation. Unfortunately it will take another 6 months before I will a get proper discount as these shoe are expensive. However, the foam setup looks promising.

After 3 weeks and 100+ miles in the Hurricane 24, I’m really impressed with the updates. The PWRRUN+ foam feels more responsive than the 23 while maintaining great stability. Used these for speed work, tempo runs and a recent 10-mile race. The new upper design eliminated the hot spots I experienced in previous versions. Stack height is perfect – protective without losing ground feel. Compared to the Brooks Glycerin GTS, these feel more nimble despite similar stability features. Only negative is the weight, but that’s expected in a stability shoe.

I’ve put about 200 miles on my Hurricane 24s and they’ve been fantastic for my daily training. The increased cushioning compared to the 23 is noticeable – my legs feel much fresher after long runs. While they’re still on the heavier side, the weight reduction is welcome. I use these primarily for easy and recovery runs in the 5-8 mile range. The stability features work well for my mild overpronation, though the upper could be more breathable during summer runs. Overall more comfortable than my old Brooks Adrenaline GTS. I’ve found them especially good on concrete surfaces where the cushioning really shines.

The Hurricane 24 hits the sweet spot for stability and cushioning. As someone who needs extra support, these have been perfect for my marathon training. Completed two 20-milers and numerous long runs without any stability issues. The PWRRUN+ foam feels more responsive than the 23, though still on the firm side. The upper could be more breathable, but the locked-down feel is worth it. Compared to the Brooks Adrenaline GTS, these have better energy return while maintaining similar support. Despite the weight, they’re my choice for long runs where stability is crucial.

Hey runners! Looking at the Hurricane 24 for my summer training but worried about that non-breathable upper I keep reading about. Anyone running in these during hot weather? My feet tend to run hot anyway. Also, I usually wear thicker Balega socks – should I size up half a size? My current pair of Triumphs are feeling a bit snug.

Long-time Hurricane fan here – the 22s were my jam but the 23s felt like they were controlling my every step. Anyone know if the 24s found a better balance? Also trying to figure out if they’re too squishy for my Tuesday tempo workouts.

Hey runners! Training for my first marathon and debating between the Hurricane 24 and Glycerin GTS. Worried these might be too heavy for those long training runs. Anyone use these in summer? My current shoes get super hot and I’m looking for something more breathable for those humid morning runs.

Hey runners! I’ve been using the Brooks Adrenaline GTS forever but thinking about switching things up. Anyone here tried both and can compare the stability? My overpronation gets pretty bad on longer runs. Also, my feet tend to swell – should I size up like with other Sauconys?

Hey runners! I’ve got mild overpronation and currently use the Guide 16s, thinking about switching to the Hurricane 24. Worried they might feel too clunky though – has anyone made this switch? Also need advice on sizing since my feet tend to swell on longer runs. Should I size up like I did with my Guides?

Just tried these on at Fleet Feet and man, they really beefed up the cushioning from the 23s! My feet were getting pretty toasty just walking around though – bit worried about summer runs in these. Really nice shoe but $175? My GT-2000s were way cheaper and still going strong…

Training for my first marathon and dealing with some mild overpronation – would these be a good pick? My PT suggested a stability shoe but I’m worried about them being too clunky for long runs. Also, how’s the outsole holding up for those of you putting in serious miles?

250 miles in and loving these updates to the Hurricane. The extra cushioning is perfect for those long marathon training runs while keeping my form in check. Been rotating them between long runs and recovery days after hard sessions. They’re more responsive than my 23s but still prioritize comfort over speed. Compared to my old Glycerin GTS, they feel more structured but just as plush. Only wish the upper breathed a bit better, but the lockdown is spot-on. Really notice that weight reduction on those 2+ hour runs. They’re not cheap, but they’re built to last.

After putting 150 miles on the Hurricane 24, I’m impressed with the updates. The increased cushioning is noticeable compared to the 23, especially during my long runs. I recently used these for a 20-mile training run and my legs felt fresher than expected. The stability features work well without feeling intrusive. While still on the heavier side, the weight reduction is appreciated. I’ve found them particularly good for recovery days after speed sessions in my Endorphin Pros. The upper could be more breathable – my feet got pretty warm during summer running. Overall, they hit the sweet spot between comfort and support, though I wish they were about $20 cheaper.

The Hurricane 24 marks a significant improvement in Saucony’s stability lineup. After 300 miles of testing, I’m impressed with how they’ve maintained support while improving the cushioning. The PWRRUN+ foam feels much more responsive than previous versions, especially during tempo runs. I’ve used these primarily for long runs (16-20 miles) where the stability features really shine – no late-run fatigue or form breakdown like with neutral shoes. Compared to the Brooks Glycerin GTS, these offer better energy return though they’re still on the heavier side. The upper could be more breathable but provides excellent lockdown. Recently completed a 3:45 marathon in these with zero issues. For stability runners wanting max cushioning, these deliver.

Dealing with some mild overpronation and my PT suggested trying stability shoes. Been running in Brooks Ghosts but looking at these Hurricanes. Anyone switch from Adrenaline to these? Worried they might feel like bricks since I’m used to lighter shoes – doing mostly 5-10k runs right now.
