Saucony Excursion TR11

The 11th update of the  Saucony Excursion TR gets seriously mixed reviews from users. The moderately cushioned neutral trail shoe looks rugged enough for off-road wandering but falls short in many ways. Thankfully, it’s comfortable enough that you could wear it to walk the dog but as a trail shoe, it’s just not up to snuff. The TR11 features an updated upper design that’s definitely better at keeping out rocks and pebbles but falls short in terms of durability. A new midsole design features a better distribution of cushioning, but not everyone liked the new midsole configuration. The biggest issue with the newest Saucony Excursion? Durability. Time and time again reviewers were disappointed and frustrated by the shoe’s flimsy construction. This being the 11th iteration, it’s surprising that durability seems to have been given very little thought at all. Does the TR11 have any redeeming qualities? Read on.

Saucony Excursion TR11

The style name means this is the 11th update Saucony has made to the Excursion TR. Users have given the mixed shoe reviews . If a consumer were to read two reviews of the TR11, he or she might wonder if the two reviewers are writing about the same shoe. Some critics highly recommend the shoe while others claim it would not be money well-spent.

People who have worn Saucony shoes for years expressed disappointment in the quality of the TR11. The shoe is an example of getting what you pay for. One reviewer was unhappy with a pair of the shoes, because it developed holes after six months. The pair the consumer received in exchange was given a five-star rating.

It is comfortable enough to be worn walking the dog. As a trail shoe, some reviewers found the shoe to be lacking what it takes. The TR11 has an updated upper that does a better job of keeping pebbles and rocks out of the shoe than previous versions. In terms of durability, the shoe falls short.

There is a better cushioning distribution in the new midsole design. Not everyone cares for the new midsole configuration . Durability is the most significant issue. Reviews express disappointment and frustration with the flimsy construction of the shoe. It is surprising that an 11th iteration has been given so little though to durability. The shoe does have some redeeming qualities.

Saucony Excursion TR11

Heel To Toe Drop

Breathability, latest version, key features, responsiveness, flexibility, bottom line.

• Available in wide widths • Neutral • Moderately cushioned • Made for trail running • NEW upper design with smaller mesh to keep out debris • NEW midsole design, more cushioning throughout the shoe • GRID cushioning system for protection and support • IMEVA cushioning in midsole • Removable insole • Heel tab • Well-padded ankle collar • XT-600 outsole rubber • Multi-directional lugs underfoot

The shoe’s upper received the biggest makeover. A new mesh material with smaller openings is better at keeping out dirt and small rocks. The mesh is also quite breathable. Unfortunately, the mesh material is terrible for withstanding wear and tear. Reviewers were annoyed that the mesh tore and frayed easily. Reports of mesh ripping only after a few runs were frequent. Users also complained of a too wide fit, which produced slippage for some. Thankfully, reviewers did have one good thing to say about the upper. They liked that it was lightweight and able to ventilate efficiently. The upper also features a removable insole, a heel tab, and a well-padded ankle collar.

The midsole of the Saucony Excursion got a bit of an update in this version. More IMEVA cushioning was added and the cushioning was better distributed along the length of the shoe. Reviewers felt this update was done right and liked the comfortable, soft cushioning in the TR11. The old GRID cushioning system remains the same. So users get added padding at the back of the shoe and some extra support in the heel area. A few reviewers said that there wasn’t enough cushioning for their needs and may prefer a more highly cushioned trail shoe. The TR11 is moderately cushioned and good for both running and walking.

The outsole of the TR11 is basically the same as before. The outsole features XT-600 rubber for durable traction and multi-directional lugs so when things get dicey, the shoe can really dig into surfaces and keep you from flailing in all directions. Reviewers, though, were not impressed with the outsole. Many complained that the outsole didn’t deliver enough traction for technical trails. Others said that the shoe provided enough traction but did not specify the surface they were regularly running on. If you’re regularly running on a technical single track, the TR11 is probably not going to work for you.

The new mesh upper does one thing right, it ventilates and circulates air really well. Reviewers were impressed with the shoe’s ability to breathe. They noted that the TR11 is a great choice for summer weather thanks to the lightweight mesh that cools feet down efficiently when conditions get too hot.

Reviewers had mixed opinions regarding the level of comfort provided by the Saucony Excursion. Many liked the soft IMEVA cushioning and found it comfortable. Others appreciated the super breathable mesh upper. Some reviewers felt there was a lack of cushioning in the midsole, even with the IMEVA being evenly distributed. Others complained of a wide fit that compromised stability. Some also felt that the shoe was really stiff underfoot and that running in the TR11 felt too jarring. Finally, quite a few runners were disappointed in the lack of arch support.

The Saucony Excursion looks super rugged, though it seems, according to reviewers, the tough exterior is just a mirage. Still, reviewers liked the shoe’s aesthetic. It’s also available in plenty of color options. For women, the shoe is available in neon yellow/indigo, grey/pink, black/teal. The men’s TR11 comes in grey/brown, black/orange, orange/black, and grey/green.

The TR11 is not at all durable. Reviewers consistently complained about the shoe’s lack of durability. The new mesh upper works as intended to keep debris out of the shoe, but it’s flimsy and not at all resistant. Reviewers relayed various reports of the upper tearing or ripping just after a few uses. The material is prone to fraying because it’s so lightweight. A few users also had issues with the outsole rubber coming off in places. Users who took the TR11 on long multi-day hikes found the shoe was wrecked by the end of the excursion.

There’s no rock plate in the TR11 so don’t expect protection from sharp rocks and debris. The moderate midsole IMEVA cushioning does provide some impact protection for wearers, though a few users felt there was not enough cushioning. The breathable mesh upper does one job right, and that’s to ventilate and cool things down when the weather gets hot.

The Saucony Excursion isn’t very responsive. Users mostly felt the shoe was rigid. The IMEVA cushioning doesn’t have any special rebound qualities, at least not according to reviewers, who weren’t very impressed with the ride feel of the TR11.

The Saucony TR11 provides a nice amount of support. The IMEVA cushioning provides a supportive base. The mesh upper encapsulates the foot to provide additional support, though some users had issues with slippage due to a very wide fit. Narrow-footed runners will want to steer clear of the TR11. Overall, the shoe is fairly supportive. The rigid feel keeps users in check but reviewers did note that the shoe lacked arch support in the midfoot area.

The shoe is intended for trail use but it seems to lack the durability for off-road running. The new mesh upper is certainly a great addition. It’s better at keeping out dirt and such. The mesh upper is also great for keeping things dry and cool inside the shoe. It’s just not durable enough to withstand frequent jaunts off-road. It’s barely durable enough to handle regular road running. The outsole provides traction, but according to many reviewers, just not enough for technical trails.

While the price of the TR11 seems reasonable, once you examine the shoe more closely it’s clear it’s not good value for the money. The rampant durability issues mentioned consistently by reviewers is reason enough to reconsider purchasing the shoe. Fit issues, a flimsy upper, and less than perfect overall design make the TR11 a poor choice for trail running or any kind of running at all. There are too many good options on the market to settle for a shoe with so many problems.

The Saucony Excursion features a standard 12mm drop. Reviewers didn’t seem to find anything wrong with the drop and found the shoe felt adequately stable.

The Saucony shoe provides adequate stability for wearers. A few problems keep the shoe from providing optimum stability, though. The shoe is a bit too wide for many users, which reviewers said resulted in slippage. Too much movement not only increases the chance for blisters, it also reduces overall stability. While traction is likely fine on hard packed terrain, users who tried the TR11 on technical trails felt it provided subpar traction. Running on wet rocks with the Saucony Excursion was a slippery mess.

Most reviewers seemed to agree that the TR11 felt quite rigid and stiff. The design helps provide support and stability but keeps runners from experiencing a natural ride. For some, the stiffness was welcome as it provided structural integrity and support. Others found the rigidity uncomfortable enough to kick off the shoes for good.

Traction is so important on the trails. When you’re heading down uneven terrain, you want your shoes to keep you grounded. Shoes with good grip provide you with confidence. Unfortunately, the Saucony Excursion seems to have traction issues. While a handful of reviewers had no problems with the shoe’s grip ability, many users felt the shoe was just not up to par for technical trail running. Bounding down a single track was a chore for the TR11 according to reviewers who said the outsole felt slippery on wet rocks and rugged terrain.

The Saucony Excursion TR11 is a poor choice for the frequent trail runner or thru-hiker. If you’re looking for a reliable shoe for off-road running, keep looking. The TR11 just won’t cut it. While problems outweigh the good stuff on the TR11, some users might appreciate the soft midsole cushioning, the stable design, lightweight construction, and breathable upper. These things might be enough for and work for the occasional weekend hiker, but otherwise, it just doesn’t provide enough traction for technical trail runs nor does it provide a lifespan that’s worth its price tag. The new mesh upper seems only half thought out. It’s great for keeping out dust and debris but it’s weakly constructed and rips easily. The design of the TR11 looks tough and ready for any kind of trail adventure, but the actual components just aren’t good enough for spending a significant amount of time outside the city. Serious trail runners should look elsewhere for a reliable, solid shoe. Reviewers seem to agree that the 11th edition of the Saucony Excursion just doesn’t cut it.

WGS 84 coordinate reference system is the latest revision of the World Geodetic System, which is used in mapping and navigation, including GPS satellite navigation system (the Global Positioning System).

Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).

Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).

UTM or Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system divides the Earth’s surface into 60 longitudinal zones. The coordinates of a location within each zone are defined as a planar coordinate pair related to the intersection of the equator and the zone’s central meridian, and measured in meters.

Elevation above sea level is a measure of a geographic location’s height. We are using the global digital elevation model GTOPO30 .

The conditions of the existence of sulfide phases in Fe–Ni–S alloys and four-component Fe–50 wt % Ni–0.001 wt % S– R ( R is an alloying or impurity element from the TCFE7 database) systems are studied using the Thermo-Calc software package and the TCFE7 database. The modification of nickel superalloys by calcium or magnesium is shown to increase their ductility due to partial desulfurization, the suppression of the formation of harmful sulfide phases, and the uniform formation of strong sulfides in the entire temperature range of metal solidification. The manufacturability of superalloys can decrease at a too high calcium or magnesium content because of the formation of intermetallics with a low melting temperature along grain boundaries.

For the first time Rosatom Fuel Division supplied fresh nuclear fuel to the world’s only floating nuclear cogeneration plant in the Arctic

The fuel was supplied to the northernmost town of Russia along the Northern Sea Route.

The first in the history of the power plant refueling, that is, the replacement of spent nuclear fuel with fresh one, is planned to begin before 2024. The manufacturer of nuclear fuel for all Russian nuclear icebreakers, as well as the Akademik Lomonosov FNPP, is Machinery Manufacturing Plant, Joint-Stock Company (MSZ JSC), a company of Rosatom Fuel Company TVEL that is based in Elektrostal, Moscow Region.

The FNPP includes two KLT-40S reactors of the icebreaking type. Unlike convenient ground-based large reactors (that require partial replacement of fuel rods once every 12-18 months), in the case of these reactors, the refueling takes place once every few years and includes unloading of the entire reactor core and loading of fresh fuel into the reactor.

The cores of KLT-40 reactors of the Akademik Lomonosov floating power unit have a number of advantages compared to the reference ones: a cassette core was used for the first time in the history of the unit, which made it possible to increase the fuel energy resource to 3-3.5 years between refuelings, and also reduce the fuel component of the electricity cost by one and a half times. The FNPP operating experience formed the basis for the designs of reactors for nuclear icebreakers of the newest series 22220. Three such icebreakers have been launched by now.

For the first time the power units of the Akademik Lomonosov floating nuclear power plant were connected to the grid in December 2019, and put into commercial operation in May 2020. The supply of nuclear fuel from Elektrostal to Pevek and its loading into the second reactor is planned for 2024. The total power of the Akademik Lomonosov FNPP, supplied to the coastal grid of Pevek without thermal energy consumption on shore, is about 76 MW, being about 44 MW in the maximum thermal power supply mode. The FNPP generated 194 million kWh according to the results of 2023. The population of Pevek is just a little more than 4 thousand, while the FNPP has a potential for supplying electricity to a city with a population of up to 100 thousand people. After the FNPP commissioning two goals were achieved. These include first of all the replacement of the retiring capacities of the Bilibino NPP, which has been operating since 1974, as well as the Chaunskaya TPP, which has already been operating for more than 70 years. Secondly, energy is supplied to the main mining companies in western Chukotka in the Chaun-Bilibino energy hub a large ore and metal cluster, including gold mining companies and projects related to the development of the Baimsk ore zone. In September 2023, a 110 kilovolt power transmission line with a length of 490 kilometers was put into operation, connecting the towns of Pevek and Bilibino. The line increased the reliability of energy supply from the FNPP to both Bilibino consumers and mining companies, the largest of which is the Baimsky GOK. The comprehensive development of the Russian Arctic is a national strategic priority. To increase the NSR traffic is of paramount importance for accomplishment of the tasks set in the field of cargo shipping. This logistics corridor is being developed due regular freight voyages, construction of new nuclear-powered icebreakers and modernization of the relevant infrastructure. Rosatom companies are actively involved in this work. Rosatom Fuel Company TVEL (Rosatom Fuel Division) includes companies fabricating nuclear fuel, converting and enriching uranium, manufacturing gas centrifuges, conducting researches and producing designs. As the only nuclear fuel supplier to Russian NPPs, TVEL supplies fuel for a total of 75 power reactors in 15 countries, for research reactors in nine countries, as well as for propulsion reactors of the Russian nuclear fleet. Every sixth power reactor in the world runs on TVEL fuel. Rosatom Fuel Division is the world’s largest producer of enriched uranium and the leader on the global stable isotope market. The Fuel Division is actively developing new businesses in chemistry, metallurgy, energy storage technologies, 3D printing, digital products, and decommissioning of nuclear facilities. TVEL also includes Rosatom integrators for additive technologies and electricity storage systems. Rosenergoatom, Joint-Stock Company is part of Rosatom Electric Power Division and one of the largest companies in the industry acting as an operator of nuclear power plants. It includes, as its branches, 11 operating NPPs, including the FNPP, the Scientific and Technical Center for Emergency Operations at NPPs, Design and Engineering as well as Technological companies. In total, 37 power units with a total installed capacity of over 29.5 GW are in operation at 11 nuclear power plants in Russia. Machinery Manufacturing Plant, Joint-Stock Company (MSZ JSC, Elektrostal) is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of fuel for nuclear power plants. The company produces fuel assemblies for VVER-440, VVER-1000, RBMK-1000, BN-600,800, VK-50, EGP-6; powders and fuel pellets intended for supply to foreign customers. It also produces nuclear fuel for research reactors. The plant belongs to the TVEL Fuel Company of Rosatom.
