Founded in 1898, Saucony’s earliest roots trace back to Kutztown, Pennsylvania, where the factory was established on the high banks of the Saucony Creek (from which the company would get its name) by four business men. Today, Saucony is a leading global running lifestyle brand that fuses performance, innovation, and style to produce award-winning footwear for runners everywhere. Saucony shoes are designed for 3 main purposes: racing, running, and walking. Shoes are also made by focusing on the runner’s foot size, type of running, arch type, pronation, and running location.

Saucony’s shoe boxes once had the phrase “sock a knee” printed on them, which represents the correct pronunciation of the company’s name. The Saucony brand logo represents the Saucony Creek’s constant flow, and the boulders lining its creek bed. The company is a popular racing shoe producer, and also makes shoes for specific track and field athletics events.
