Ladies’ First.

SCAT women's track shoe, rated first by Runner's World in 1977.

DOVE women's training shoe, rated first by Runner's World in 1976.

Saucony Scat is the top-ranked women's spiked shoe because it's specifically designed for the woman runner. It's not just an adaptation of our popular men's Speedstar, or any other model in our full line of men's track shoes. The Scat's uppers are soft, well-padded blue nylon. The bottom, with a small heel lift, is suited for both sprints and distance running. Heel and ankle collars are well-padded for comfort. And the chevron-claw spike plate with seven receptacles is a Saucony exclusive. Dove, the top-ranked women's training shoe for 1976, has a flared heel and suction cup traction sole. The tongue and quarter are fully padded. The Dove's uppers are lightweight, soft, white nylon with color-coordinated blue trim. You know how important good shoes are for comfort and performance. So remember the name. Saucony. Top-ranked women's shoes for training and competition at a lower price than any ranked shoe, regardless of category.

We're out in front. And we're going to stay there.

Bullet (Model No. 8832) .. blue with gold trim, and a tough Gumtred sole in basketweave design. Features padded quarter and Achilles tendon protector. and weighs a feather-light five ounces.

"Saucony's two new track shoes look great, feel great and weigh practically nothing."
-Edwin Roberts, Olympic Medalist and Track Coach at Temple University

Introducing two topflight additions to the Saucony line of racing shoes—Bullet for sprint events, and Pacesetter for the distances.

Both have nylon oxford uppers with suede trim ... one-piece seamless toe construction . . . and versatile 7-position nylon tap with interchangeable spike positions. Saucony offers a full line of racing shoes and training flats for men and women. Edwin Roberts calls these two new Saucony shoes, "the best available for runners at every level of competition. They are attractive, comfortable, durable, and very light in weight. And they are reasonably priced! After all, why should you pay $40 for a shoe because some celebrity got his for nothing?"

Pacesetter (Model No. 8834) ... gold with blue trim, and an extremely high-abrasion Tufcrepe. sole in Caprice design. The sole is flared and rolled, and the heel wedge assures maximum shock absorption. Pacesetter's sock liner is 2-way-stretch nylon on rubber.
