    Boa or not boa

    I didn't like the lacing system. It can be fun on the occasional outing, but my feet didn't feel as secure as they would with traditional lacing. I have a feeling this is a shoe to love or hate. Sorry I'm on the later page. I really wanted to love this shoe. Looks cool, love how the Saucony goes with everything and has a great midsole. Good luck to the buyer. I wanted to walk in them

    Pros
    • Very comfortable and well made. love her
    Cons
    • The shoes look good but I can't put them on, they sent women's shoes so they are too small.

    Great shoes, love without laces

    I use it more for cycling and everyday use. I love laceless cycling. It also fits like a glove...thin or running socks are recommended. A black pair is great for everyday work shoes.

    Pros
    • My teenage son is a very active cross country runner. The best feature is BOA. We can never go back to non-BOA
    Cons
    • Great for trail running except the Boa laces snap into a boot. Cannot find replacement laces. avoid them.

    They're fine, but they're cool.

    The pillow is great! But the width might help. I'm between 11.5 and 12. 12 is too much. The BOA lacing system is fast and efficient. In general they are pretty good.

    Pros
    • The ventilated design helps keep feet cool and dry during physical activity.
    Cons
    • Maybe not enough grip for off-road

    The lacing mechanism stopped me

    I was concerned about the binding mechanism. If you use something often enough, it wears out over time and I can see it becoming a problem. I liked the way he tightened the boot to make it snug but just didn't want to risk it breaking and beyond repair - or there is a way but it will take forever. For the money I would have liked an old fashioned cord or velcro closure.

    Pros
    • Available in a stylish and attractive color combination of pine and orange.
    Cons
    • Shoes can cause blisters due to lack of padding.

    Very durable, very comfortable.

    Right out of the box, these shoes are very comfortable. They are light, flexible and perfect for running and training. Definitely recommend this shoe. The Boa lacing system makes it easy to put on and take off.

    Pros
    • Features a comfortable and secure fit for a wide range of foot sizes.
    Cons
    • New shoes can have a strong smell

    Feeling of separation after 60 miles

    I bought them for hiking in the southwestern desert. The shoes feel good and the grip was good but the soles are falling apart. For the first 40 miles, each sole had the same tear near the big toe. With 60 km, both shoes have a few years in the sole and are quite large.

    Pros
    • Couldn't ask for better shoes
    Cons
    • Please contact me for photos. My son now has no more shoes :-/ Holes have appeared

    Fantastic running and walking comfort

    I love the feel and the comfort. From now on I will only buy shoes from Boa. Very grippy and water resistant, making them a good choice for four seasons.

    Pros
    • My husband loves these! I bought the same style for women. Love her!!!
    Cons
    • Appears to have been listed for 1 day outside of the return policy

    Great light shoe.

    The rear tension might take a bit of care, but they still glide pretty well. It's good to have Boa lacing and it's the coolest and quickest drying shoe I own.

    Pros
    • The soft, responsive midsole provides cushioning and support for all-day comfort.
    Cons
    • Some buyers may find the shoe too tight.

    The shoes are great. Very durable yet flexible. They are a bit loose around the base of my toes for my liking. But not so bad that I don't use them. Overall really good shoes.

    Pros
    • Designed with a padded tongue and collar for added comfort and support.
    Cons
    • Shoes may not be as breathable as other options on the market.

    Comfortable and great protector.

    This was my first Saucony purchase and I actually only bought them when I was looking for BOA laces. Great for the gym and treadmills or running with kids. Comfortable shoes and love the BOA laces. They can be worn as slip-ons or pulled tight for more aggressive action.

    Pros
    • Offers excellent protection from rocks, roots and other trail-specific obstacles.
    Cons
    • Shoes may not provide enough cushioning for long-distance runs.

    Comfortable but not durable!

    I loved these shoes when I received them. I like the Boa lacing system, although the dial does snag a bit on the side. I'm a delivery driver and the dial got caught in the boxes on the floor of my truck. It popped out once but fell into place. The sole is not very durable. The tread itself is fine and not very worn, but the outsole has started to peel (see photo). I've been wearing these shoes for a little less than 2 months. I would not recommend anyone to wear them for daily or intensive use.

    Pros
    • Durable materials and construction ensure long-term use
    Cons
    • May not be suitable for people with wide feet

    Overall a good pair of shoes

    These shoes look good, fit well and are generally comfortable. Taking off one star for the padding, which could have been a bit thicker (like other Saucony shoes) to really make them more comfortable.

    Pros
    • Available in different sizes for men with any foot size.
    Cons
    • Lack of ankle support can cause problems for some runners.

    These are cool shoes with a quick binding on the side.

    I looked for something else and saw them on another site but they only had a size 15 and 7, as I have a 10.5 I decided to check my place, Ebay. These shoes are very comfortable and the quick lacing system on the side is very cool. It also grips your foot a little differently, I've had ankle issues and that seems to help. Sometimes lace-up shoes cut into the top of the foot. Made for the trail, the profile is a bit aggressive but still very comfortable. I've used them both outdoors and on the…

    Pros
    • Breathable mesh upper lets air circulate and keeps feet cool.
    Cons
    • The outsole can wear out quickly under heavy use.

    I love Boa laces but this shoe was just uncomfortable. Tight in the wrong places hoping for more sole cushioning. Get at least 1/2 size up, these run small. Other than that fantastic product..

    Pros
    • The Boa system works great on this shoe. Very comfortable shoes.
    Cons
    • Increase at least 1/2 size, they run small. Apart from this fantastic product.

    Fell apart after a month

    The sole fell off after a month of little use. They are literally trash now as the soles ripped when the glue came off. The most expensive trash shoes I've ever bought.

    Pros
    • Saucony is a respected brand among runners and outdoor enthusiasts.
    Cons
    • Shoes may not be comfortable for walking on sidewalks or concrete.

    Healing is possible, but one day it's a great show

    I had healing blisters the first few times I wore them, but once they got hard I really liked these shoes. They are light and the lacing system is very comfortable. I use them for long walks with my dog and find them very comfortable.

    Pros
    • An excellent choice for people with high arches or foot conditions such as plantar fasciitis.
    Cons
    • Some buyers may find the shoes too heavy.

    Revainrating 2 out of 5

    It was not necessary to spoil the original design

    I chose this because I have the first "generation" of the iso switch. I have high arches and thought this would be a worthy replacement. I should have read the reviews. Very difficult to put on and very, very tight to the point, almost too tight. They're bonded to the point where you don't even have to use the lacing system. What made it worse was the fact that I couldn't find a proven original shoe as it was the perfect shoe.

    Pros
    • The lightweight design offers added comfort and maneuverability
    Cons
    • Shoes may not be suitable for those with foot pain or injuries.

    6 months in my review.

    Fits perfectly, feels like I'm not wearing anything. The BOA system worked flawlessly. They're a bit pricey but I would buy them again.

    Pros
    • The rubber outsole offers excellent traction and durability
    Cons
    • May not provide adequate arch support

    Disintegrated after 2 weeks of use; See photo

    Fits well; comfortable. Walked and walked only once. Fell apart after 2 weeks of use. No joke. Should be full credit to my ebay account.

    Pros
    • Built to withstand harsh weather and harsh environments
    Cons
    • The price can be higher than the competition

    Great series last review

    Tried it out in the dark and looking for a new casual shoe, they are very durable and quite comfortable. Also very comfortable in my size!

    Pros
    • Provides excellent grip even on slippery or wet surfaces
    Cons
    • Shoes may not last long with heavy use
