Make sure you have the right width.

Bought this for my 9 year old who needed a wide fit. They said it was a roomy fit but it isn't. They were so narrow in width that he could not put them on. I had to send them back.

Pros
  • My son loves these shoes. They fit perfectly. He also loves color
Cons
  • Shoes may not be appropriate for those with certain foot conditions or injuries.

As good as advertised!

I am grateful that this brand exists. My daughter has wide feet so finding the right shoes is difficult. Luckily, Saucony offers a wide range of running shoes, and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

Pros
  • My son has been with Saucony for many years. This particular style is narrow, although I ordered WIDE
Cons
  • They are very cute but very small and narrow.

Great shoes! - my new rating

Great shoes! My child moves them around and wants to wear them right away! And new shoes are always difficult for him, so they must fit very well! It's been a few months and they're really holding up!

Pros
  • They are easy to use (no laces), comfortable and durable. Great for the price. Overall excellent.
Cons
  • Shoes may not be suitable for people who need waterproof shoes.

Fantastic new review

Fantastic shoes. They seem to lose their color faster than expected. They are very comfortable with her and she loves them.

Pros
  • My daughter loves the color and said they are so comfortable.
Cons
  • The shoes are great except they fell apart the first day my son wore them :(.

Great buy, my pros and cons

My 8 year old loves these sneakers. There is a really good rubber pad on the bottom which is the most important thing for me and my kids shoes. very easy to turn on and off. She has had them for a year and a half and is still in excellent condition. The colors are amazing too.

Pros
  • It suits our son very well. He has a very wide foot and this fit was good. Will buy more as my feet grow.
Cons
  • Large sizes can be uncomfortable for people with narrow feet.

Poor quality, disappointment with Saucony.

Low quality. Worn less than a month, the bottom literally falls off. I have worn running shoes for many years and have never had this problem.

Pros
  • My daughter loves them and they fit her perfectly. The price isn't bad either. Thanks
Cons
  • I added an insole for more cushioning

not wide at all

We bought them specifically for the extra width, but that's not the case at all. I'm frustrated because I liked how durable the mesh is compared to the New Balance mesh. but really need a real extra-broad.

Pros
  • The Saucony Wind Alternate Closure Running Shoe provides cushioned support for maximum comfort while running. Alternate closure provides a secure fit and easy access for donning and doffing.
Cons
  • Shoes are not for everyone

Buy these sneakers!

These shoes hold up much better than the Skechers. I bought the same pair 4 months ago and still look great even though my daughter is very picky about shoes. The dark color also hides dirt well. I just bought a size up.

Pros
  • They adjust to size, are easy to clean and stand up to the rigors of the playground.
Cons
  • Shoes may not be breathable enough for sweaty feet.

Didn't last long: my review

My 6 year old daughter wore them comfortably for less than a week before the toe of the shoe came off. Very disappointed, that's why I decided to return it.

Pros
  • My son has been with Saucony for many years. This particular style is narrow, although I ordered WIDE
Cons
  • ordered wide and it's not WIDE at all, my 11 year old's size 4.5 fits better than this 5...

Finally wide shoes!

My children and I have fairly wide feet. Shoes are hard to find. My daughter found them to be the most comfortable of all the shoes we tried on at our local Rogans. Here they were much cheaper. I will probably buy this style for her from now on!

Pros
  • The perfect children's shoes.
Cons
  • Shoes may not be suitable for people with sensitive skin or allergies to certain materials.

Not wide at all - my new review

I ordered them for my son who has wide feet. The Saucony Wide usually worked as one of the few running shoes that was really wide, but it wasn't wide at all. I returned them.

Pros
  • My 10 year old loved these, I bought her the next size up. they are well done.
Cons
  • Shoes may not provide adequate traction on slippery or uneven surfaces.

Good shoes! In my opinion

My six year old son says he's comfortable on his feet. I like the look, bright colors, velcro closes easily. However, the shoe neck seems a bit narrow. This is a tough shoe for my son to put his foot in.

Pros
  • My son has a high foot/high arch. They are comfortable for him and have withstood wear and tear.
Cons
  • I ordered these shoes for my 6 year old. They fit well, but both shoes were torn in several places after just a few months.

Works a little snugly, good for me

I always buy Saucony for my son because they sell well then. I had to go up a size and a half in this design from his previous Saucony.

Pros
  • This is her third pair. she loves them There were different colors. Always holds up well.
Cons
  • That's very little

Not like the Saucony shoes we loved.

I have been ordering Saucony shoes for my children (ages 8 and 13) for almost 6 years, mainly for their fit and comfort but also for the quality. Apart from some wear on the sole, the shoe looks almost new (after cleaning) when it grows out. But my son has only been wearing them for 2 months and the front trim on both shoes was falling off and the toe on one of the shoes was falling off. I had to get Gorilla Glue and fix my sneakers but I'm not very happy about it. I don't know if I will order…

Pros
  • I loved it so much and it was a gift for my grandson.
Cons
  • The combination of gray, red and yellow colors may not please everyone.

I'm not sure I would call them X-Wide

I have very wide feet that are not very big. For women I would wear 6.5-7 if I could find the right width. It's actually the same with kids (sneakers for big kids). I'm sure as I've done this before with big kids shoes. When I received them the first thing I honestly said was that they looked cheap. I'm not usually the type to say that unless it's important. They didn't feel like normal shoes, it's hard to explain. They seemed more rigid to me and the material is just poor quality. Also, they…

Pros
  • My daughter loves these. They are easy to put on, they are colorful and she tells me they are very comfortable. Very happy.
Cons
  • These shoes didn't look wide at all and it was painful for my son to even put them on.

Not as wide as expected

I bought this shoe because it was wide as my LO has wide feet. The length of the shoe was ok but the width was way narrower than I expected. Also a bit difficult to put on. I have to wear it every day. He can't do it himself.

Pros
  • My child is very difficult for me to fit into shoes, he has a wide foot. They fit so perfectly and he loves them
Cons
  • The alternative closure may not be as secure as traditional laces.

Good shoes for school

My son liked these very much. Slightly smaller than its normal size so I recommend an estimate. They have served well and have stayed in good condition after being used in basketball, running and everyday school games.

Pros
  • My child appreciates the Velcro and says the shoes are comfortable.
Cons
  • Velcro has come loose.

Very comfortable.: my rating

Got these for a 9 year old and he loves these shoes. Says they are very comfortable. He will not wear any other shoes and they have held up very well after wearing them daily for several months. Just bought another pair.

Pros
  • true size.
Cons
  • Shoes may not be light enough for some people.
