Nice shoes Men: Athletic

I really like the Saucony shoes and found them on sale at a great price. I have one small exception - the tongue sewn to the boot. There's some stretchy material it's sewn to, but that's a pretty minor issue for me. Nice and comfortable true to size and good looking.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

The protector does not last.

I've had these shoes for a little over a month. I walk 40 to 45 miles every week for my core exercise, uphill and downhill, streets and sidewalks. I'm 70 years old so I doubt I overuse shoes. After about 200-250 miles in 5 weeks, the toe profile becomes clear. I liked the comfort and weight of the shoe, but it's not worth changing often. Back to New Balance?

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Outlet required

Shoe lacks arch support

I've had a lot of Saucony shoes in the past. I had to return them due to very poor arch support. They're not very comfortable either. The fit was as expected but due to the lack of arch support which was the main reason I bought the Saucony I had to go back.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Not as good as it says it is

Super soft insole: for men

Bought for gym use, treadmill included. I used to use beat up jazz classics but decided to switch to something more specific. The fit, as expected, is more like a glove (but firmer than my Type A8), which is nice, but the insoles are a lot softer than I'm used to, to the point where I feel like I'm walking on a water bed. For the past 10 years I've run all distances in minimal shoes (now Trail Glove 4) but even compared to the Jazz they feel too soft. The soles themselves seem pretty stiff, so…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • pisses me off

The fit (not the sizing) is a bit tighter than older Sauconys

I love the style and color of this shoe and I can wear it so I keep it to myself. However, the toe box (height) of these shoes is less than my previous Saucony, which I've always liked. Maybe I need to take a closer look at the different models in their lineup. Would like to know if others have experienced the same thing with their purchases.

Pros
  • Regular Price
Cons
  • Factor Set

Good at first, poor quality doesn't last moderate use

This show was great at first. Good fit that matched Nike and Reebok sizing and comfort. However, after only two months, the heels on both shoes wore out and became painful. Problems such as loose seams also occurred. I have a pair of Nike and Reebok shoes that last 1 year better than these shoes after 2 months. I only wear these shoes for business and walk my dog in the area. I can't imagine them lasting longer for someone who runs daily or wears them longer.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

NOT the shoes pictured on the sales page!

I ordered this shoe on purpose because the insole on the sales page has a special memory foam insert: Form2U and can be recognized by its green color. I have bought several Saucony shoes and this insole fits my feet the best. Unfortunately this was not sent to me. The appearance of the shoe looks the same as the picture on the Amazon sales page and I have included the picture here. BUT, the interior is not the same. The foam insole is white and is called REACT2U+. This is a lightweight shoe…

Pros
  • nice article
Cons
  • negative impression

Just not what I expected! Unfavorable.

Nothing beats a good pair of running shoes. This pair is inexpensive, difficult to lace up where the "pull" is the same all over the foot, and it doesn't fit your foot like I would expect. I will not buy again.

Pros
  • Brilliantly made
Cons
  • Not bad

Fantastic quality / Surprisingly comfortable

I haven't had these shoes for a long time, but I'm also considering what I'm capable of. Revain did a fantastic job of sending them out quickly and accurately. Let me just say I've never owned a pair of Sauconys. I opened them up and tried them on straight away and had a terrible pause. It only held a pair of socks and is now one of, if not the only, most comfortable shoe I've ever owned. I would recommend this brand to anyone who enjoys running or is just looking for a fantastic pair of shoes.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Feels like I won't buy it again.

I usually go up a size so my legs can stretch. For some reason these shoes give me a lot of pain in my toes and feet. I mean, it's comfortable when I'm not working out, but that's not what it's made for. I say if possible go to the store and buy it. Buying this type of show is generally a mistake on the internet.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Nothing here
