I tried a pair of Jazz Low Pro because of the thin sole. I've always found thick-soled shoes to be a bit bulky. These Saucony shoes have the same stable feel as walking barefoot but allow you to walk on coarse gravel without pain. They are also light. I've had them for almost a year now. The fabric lining of the heel counters has been worn for some time, but otherwise it is holding up normally. The protrusions are small enough and the gaps large enough that they don't stick to the dirt in the room. The tires have wet grip properties on the sidewalls, but when I buy a pair of shoes I don't know if they will provide reliable grip on smooth surfaces. , wet surfaces. These soles have earned my trust. The friction between the laces and the six rows of leather grommets is uncomfortable when you need to loosen the laces to put your shoes on and then tighten the laces to tie them. To walk a few steps on wet grass, you need to change shoes and socks, because the fabric on the top does not resist water at all. However, the shoes dry quickly. I've never been tempted to put my shoes in the washing machine, but the fabric on these shoes doesn't stain. Washing doesn't seem to hurt them at all and they dry quickly. Removing and replacing strings is the biggest inconvenience. I like to have at least two pairs of all-purpose shoes. I liked these shoes so much that eight months later I bought a second pair to replace my other shoes. When they arrived I found them easier to put on and take off and more luxurious. The labels on the tongues say they are the same model, size and look the same. It's like Saucony switched to a better filler and less friction fibers for the strings. The treads look the same but when I press the old sole against the new one I can see that the lugs have shifted a bit. . It looks like Saucony has found ways to improve on this shoe since it came out. I like it. Update: For a while now I've been wondering why my index finger knuckles sometimes hurt. I finally realized. I use my index fingers as a shoehorn to put on these Saucony shoes. This process tends to bend the joints backwards. Never have I ever used a shoehorn. The tips of the heels of these shoes go beyond the tips of my heels. I like it because it helps keep your heels off the sole when you strike. I should have realized 15 months ago that a shoehorn or a ruler works better than my fingers.
