About Us
At Saucony, we believe that running is more than just a sport—it is a way of life. Whether you are enjoying a leisurely morning jog along the Danube in Bratislava, tackling the rugged trails of the High Tatras on a weekend adventure, or making your final sprint preparations for an upcoming marathon—Saucony is here to be your most faithful companion.
A Century of Running, True to Our Roots
Our story began in 1898, alongside a small creek in Pennsylvania, USA—a creek named Saucony. Four shoemakers adopted the creek's name and chose the river stones as their emblem; those three winding curves and three dots became the iconic logo we proudly use to this day. For over 120 years, we have never ceased in our pursuit of the perfect running shoe. In 1965, astronaut Edward White wore custom-made Saucony boots to complete America's first spacewalk; in 1969, our soles traveled with Armstrong to set foot on the moon. It is precisely this unwavering dedication to peak performance that has earned Saucony the reputation of being the "Rolls-Royce of running shoes."
**Technology Driving Every Kilometer**
We understand that the heart of a great running shoe lies in its midsole. From the revolutionary GRID cushioning system introduced in 1991 to today's acclaimed family of PWRRUN, PWRRUN+, and PWRRUN PB foams—every material undergoes countless laboratory tests and real-world road trials to strike the perfect balance between lightness, responsiveness, and protection. Whether you are an elite runner chasing a personal best or a beginner taking your very first steps, Saucony has a shoe designed to let you experience that magical sensation: "the further you run, the easier it feels."
Running with Slovakia
Slovakia boasts breathtaking natural landscapes and a vibrant, ever-growing running culture. From the Bratislava City Marathon to the Tatra Mountain Ultra, we see more and more Slovak runners lacing up their Saucony shoes to challenge themselves and savor the scenery along the way. Through every pair of shoes, every online interaction, and our support for local running clubs, we aspire to truly become an integral part of this land. Saucony’s online store is now open to consumers in Slovakia, offering fast shipping, free 30-day returns, and local-language customer support—so you can shop with peace of mind and focus on your run.
A Sustainable Future: Every Step Counts
Running deepens our love for the Earth and inspires a greater sense of responsibility toward it. Saucony is committed to ensuring that by 2025, 90% of our products will utilize recycled, renewable, or organic materials—a figure we aim to reach 100% by 2030. Today, the Saucony running shoes on your feet may feature sugarcane-based EVA, corn-based PWRRUN BIO+, or recycled polyester—proving that eco-consciousness never comes at the expense of performance.
Choosing Saucony means more than just selecting a pair of running shoes; it means joining a global running family that spans continents and generations. Together, we run further, run longer, and run toward becoming our best selves.
Saucony – Born to Run, Running with You.
