Excellent product

I Use This Product For: Casual Wear, Walking
I have purchased Saucony runners for the last 7 years. This is my 3rd pair. Back then I used to run but these days I wear them as casual wear so they are on my feet most of the day and are always comfortable to wear for extended periods.
This shoe is very rigid and with my orthotic inserts, my feet and insteps are kept in great alignment, hence appropriately called "STABIL".
The venting works well and my feet stay 'cool' even on the hottest days of summer
Saucony....thanks for a great product.

Have been having leg pain and fatigue with reeboks. So far, the Stabil CS2's have been worn-albeit only several full days-without leg stress at the end of the day.

A real knee saver
PostedFebruary 6, 2013
I Run: To set a personal best, To stay in shape
I Use This Product For: Running
I have worn out six pairs of these shoes and each time I get a new pair, I can just slip it on and run out the door. There is very little break-in time needed. I run around 30 miles a week and they last about six months before I need another pair. I tried Nike, New Balance and Oasics and had problems with all of them. Mostly they did not support my knees, but some of them had trim right in the area that bothered my bunions. This shoe does not have a trim that rubs it. So, for me, the mesh style is a bonus. Not only making the shoe lighter, but also making it more forgiving.

Good shoe but innersole/sole is too hard for me
PostedJanuary 29, 2013

I have arthritis in both feet and need a softer and more impact absorbent innersole and sole. This shoe is almost rock hard in comparison to most of the Saucony shoes I have purchased in the past.

I'm a 240-pounder with flat feet, and I run 3 miles every other day, so I need a durable, stable shoe that can absorb a pounding and keep me from overpronating. The Stabil CS2 is a lifesaver.

Great relief for foot pain
PostedMay 28, 2012

I bought these shoes for my husband after reading reviews that indicated that the shoes were great for foot pain issues. He has been having really bad foot pain for months now and has even had steroid shots in his feet with little help. He has been wearing the shoes daily for a couple weeks now and is having much less pain. He was really surprised at how big of a difference it has made.

This shoe should be called the 'Injury Preventer." Yes, they are bulky and a little heavy. BUT, this is MUCH better than having to take 2 weeks off of running due to shin splints like I had too before this shoe. These shoes keep me injury free and help me keep a mid-foot strike. I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone who is injury prone and unlucky like myself.

At first my husband thought they were too small, but after he got them on, he loved them. Was not real happy about price but did admit it was the most comfortable shoe he has put on in a while.

The Progrid Stabil CS 2 is an excellent running shoe. I am a competitive runner who runs marathons and ultramarathons, and this shoe easily stands up to the heavy mileage and training I put in. The CS 2 is very stable, flexible, lightweight, well cushioned, and is perfect for running marathons and anything else you throw at them. I would highly recommend them.

Caused Pain in My Knee
PostedOctober 26, 2011
I Run: As a social activity, For fun, To stay in shape
I Use This Product For: Running, Cross Training
I've been running in the Saucony Grid Stabil or its predecessors for years. Out of the box, this shoe felt much lighter to run in which I initially thought was good. On my second run, my left knee began to stiffen. Third run, pain. I returned them and was told that this update is much lighter than the previous Stabil. Lighter means less stability material. Thankfully, the company that I purchased them from let me return them. I'm not sure why Saucony made such a drastic change. Now I have to find another shoe to run in. I've tried the Asics Evolution and my ankles slip in them.

If it was not for the Pro Grid Stabil I would have given up on marathons for life. But this shoe prevents injury by absorbing lots of shock.

This shoe has saved my heel!

I Run: For fun

I have always had problems with new shoes and my heals. The time that it took for my heels to adjust to the Stabil was minimal. The fit is much firmer than any other shoe that I have had. Also, the overpronation benefits are as advertised. As I am approaching 300 miles with them, they remain a well fitting durable shoe.

I'm on my 4th pair of these Saucony shoes over the last two years. They work well but could be SOOOO much better if they were leather instead of mesh.

Bring Back the Grid Stabil 6
PostedMarch 20, 2011
I Run: To stay in shape
I Use This Product For: Running, Casual Wear, Walking
The single most important feature for super-pronators is stiff construction, medial posts and anything else that holds the foot firmly in place, supports flat arches and stands up to the shift and stretch from orthotics inside the shoe -- face it most of us super-pronators are using orthotics in our shoes and this is one of the first sources of stress that causes our shoes to lose their shape and ultimately fail to hold our arch up and support ankles.
The Grid Stabil 6 had a lot of this support infrastructure at a reasonable price. The newer generations of Grid Stabil seem to sacrifice stiffness in order to reduce weight and go with lighter, less reinforced mesh. Mesh is pretty much worthless when it comes to motion control.
