Technical Specifications Guide

The Saucony Paramount Max Women’s are running shoes designed to offer maximum cushioning, premium comfort and protection during everyday runs. They are Saucony’s softest model and feature a particularly generous platform, designed for those who want plenty of foam underfoot without compromising on an energetic response during each stride.

The midsole utilises incrediRUN foam, optimised in this model for daily training and developed to combine high cushioning with energy return. The stack height measures 43 mm at the heel and 37 mm at the forefoot, with a 6 mm drop, creating a highly protective structure that helps absorb impacts whilst running. The SRS insole adds an extra layer of comfort directly underfoot.

Despite the substantial amount of cushioning, the Paramount Max is built around a wide base with higher sidewalls, a design intended to make foot strike safer and more controlled. The segmented midsole, meanwhile, helps to make landings smoother and efficiently supports transitions during the stride.

The upper, made from breathable technical mesh, offers a comfortable fit suitable even for prolonged use, whilst the anatomically moulded heel is designed to hug the foot, minimising friction. Weighing 250 g, the Paramount Max Women’s combines a highly cushioned construction with a lightweight design, making it suitable not only for daily runs and training sessions, but also for walks when comfort and protection are a priority.
