Review on Saucony Men's Bullet 6-Inch Running Shoe by Ari Tanner

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Superb 'minimalist' shoes

I bought these shoes to replace my 'Whitin' canvas shoes which were great but too minimalistic for me. These bullet shoes are exactly what I was hoping for: a minimalist yet stylish look that goes with everything and a little more cushioning in the heel. They are well made, fit perfectly and don't pinch your toes after all day. I've been wearing them for 6 months at work in the concrete warehouse and also working out at the gym and I'm in love with them! A little information about the sizes: (I have a wide foot) I wear MOST shoes $10.5 / 43 EUR. When I bought my Whitin Canvas shoes (more glove-like, with a shorter toe) their size 9 was perfect for all needs. I take 11 in my favorite running/casual shoe, Brooks Ghost. I took a chance and bought 11 in these balls. And they fit really well. They're snug but not tight, a bit shorter and "slimmer" than my Brooks, but I still have plenty of room in the toe box. About half an inch apart. Interestingly, I was able to transfer my secondary insoles from Brooks directly to Bullets so the insole is almost identical. These shoes have a tighter fit and less padded padding on the sides and tongue. I think this makes the shoe feel tighter than regular athletic shoes. The heel cup is very supportive and durable. I would definitely buy them again. Although my wife says they look like "bowling shoes". They also have a grippy handle and squeak on slick floors when changing directions quickly. My wife's head explodes during the moonwalk. It is very funny!
