Saucony calls the moderately lightweight Sinister a “speed trainer,” but our wear-testers thought it would be better described as a “protective racer” ideal for races from 10K to the marathon. The protection comes from the thick rearfoot cushioning, a plush interior and an energetic, semi-rigid plastic plate that runs from midfoot through the toe box. The plate provides a small degree of stability in the heel and midfoot and torsional rigidity throughout the shoe. It is intended to increase propulsive efficiency in the forefoot, but a few testers weren’t sure if it added to the speed factor or merely tempered the shoe’s flexibility.Related Articles

The new Sinister features a full-length plastic plate in the midsole that provides a smooth transition from heel-strike to toe-off. This design helps move you through the gait cycle more quickly for a more efficient toe-off. The plate and the durable carbon-rubber outsole makes the shoe firm, but the Sinister is not as stiff as you would expect, according to RW Shoe Lab tests. We recommend the Sinister as a racing shoe or trainer for efficient, average-weight runners.
