SAUCONY SHOEMAKERS
combine old-fashioned craftsmanship with modern technology to produce some of the finest running shoes in the world.
We've been making quality shoes along the Saucony Creek in Kutztown since 1898. These four craftsmen alone represent a combined total of 135 years of shoemaking experience. Saucony makes a full line of running shoes for men and women ... quality training and racing flats retailing from $20 to $30. All made in the Pennsylvania Dutch tradition for craftsmanship available to your favorite running shop or sporting goods dealer from five warehouses across the country. That's Saucony (SOCK-a-knee) running shoes. Ask for them by name.
