Ladies’ First.

SCAT women's track shoe, rated first by Runner's World in 1977.

DOVE women's training shoe, rated first by Runner's World in 1976.

Saucony Scat is the top-ranked women's spiked shoe because it's specifically designed for the woman runner. It's not just an adaptation of our popular men's Speedstar, or any other model in our full line of men's track shoes. The Scat's uppers are soft, well-padded blue nylon. The bottom, with a small heel lift, is suited for both sprints and distance running. Heel and ankle collars are well-padded for comfort. And the chevron-claw spike plate with seven receptacles is a Saucony exclusive. Dove, the top-ranked women's training shoe for 1976, has a flared heel and suction cup traction sole. The tongue and quarter are fully padded. The Dove's uppers are lightweight, soft, white nylon with color-coordinated blue trim. You know how important good shoes are for comfort and performance. So remember the name. Saucony. Top-ranked women's shoes for training and competition at a lower price than any ranked shoe, regardless of category.

We're out in front. And we're going to stay there.

Saucony Hornet, Trainer 1980, Ms. Gripper and Dove II vintage sneaker ad

Here’s a 1979 vintage sneaker ad for Saucony featuring the Hornet, Trainer 1980, Ms. Gripper and Dove II vintage running shoe models. The Hornet and Trainer 1980 received Runner’s World 5-star honors.

Ad info is below:

Not one, but two Saucony running shoes rated 5-Stars by Runner's World

Hornet — This Runners World 5-Star Shoe is listed as “an excellent shoe. Very good construction, excellent buy. We recommend this shoe highly." It was ranked #1 for rearfoot impact absorption

Trainer 1980 — Given a #1 ranking for flexibility, this Runner's World 5-Star Shoe was called "A brand new excellent shoe… We recommend this shoe." It’s made with soft foam replacing the insole board.

Ms. Gripper — Rated 4-Stars by Runner's World. “Excellent rearfoot cushioning." Saucony's second generation in a long line of fine women's running shoes.

Dove II — "Excellent rearfoot impact protection... " says Runner's World. "Best buy for the money. We recommend it." Rated an RW 4-Star Shoe.

Were pleased. But were not surprised: We've been making quality shoes in Kutztown since 1898. We know what it takes to make a shoe that provides maximum comfort and support. So we're not surprised that these two were given top ranking. Or that our two women's models are Runner's World 4-Star Shoes.

The only thing surprising about Saucony is our price. Each of our top-rated shoes is the lowest priced shoe of its type. But we're not about to sit back and rest on our stars. We're committed to old-fashioned pride of craftsman-ship. And we're dedicated to finding design improvements to make our top-rated shoes even better. So don't be surprised to find Saucony out in front. In the ratings ... and the running.

Ms. Hornet

Hornet

The ‘Attic is full of Hornets.

Athletic Attic stores are loaded with Hornets these days. These top ranked shoes from Saucony were rated #1 for rearfoot impact absorption by Runner's World Magazine — and given a 5-Star rating. We recommend them highly, and a closer look at a Hornet will tell you why:
The added tongue and quarter, thick midsole wedge and herringbone outsole design combine to create a highly comfortable durable training flat.
The Ms. Hornet provides the same kind of outstanding performance for the female runner, and both men's and women's models are available in a wide variety of sizes. But our favorite Hornet feature is the very affordable price. It really takes the sting out of buying a top-rated running shoe! Visit your nearest Athletic Attic today. Things are buzzing!
