{{DISPLAYTITLE:Saucony Virrata 2 Review}}
The [http://www.zappos.com/saucony-virrata Virrata] is a light weight, minimal drop shoe with a nicely flexible sole at a reasonable cost. I've been impressed with the level of comfort the Virrata provides, and I highly recommend it. It is similar to the slightly better but more expensive [[Altra One2| Altra One<sup>2</sup>]] , the discontinued [[Mizuno Cursoris]] and the more expensive [[Altra Torin]]. (Note the Virrata 2 is virtually identical to the original Virrata.) {{H:WhatToLookForInShoes}}

=Characteristics=
* '''Why you'd buy it'''. The Virrata is a nicely cushioned, lightweight shoe. Overall, I prefer the [[Mizuno Cursoris]] and the [[Altra One2| Altra One<sup>2</sup>]], but the Virrata is easier to get hold of and quite a bit cheaper.
* '''Lacing'''. The flat laces work well and remained tied.
* '''Heel counter'''. The heel counter is quite strong, and comes as far up the back of the heel as is normal for running shoe.

Here are some direct comparisons with its potential competition.
