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.

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.
