Review on Saucony Men's Switchback Walking Shoes in Classic Black: Maximum Comfort and Durability by Matthew Davenport

These are great running shoes. I don't run trails (at least not on purpose) but I do road/track runs. That's why I rode the minimum number of kilometers in them as running shoes. The little bit I ran through them, they're fantastic. The BOA system must be applied to other sneaker models! (Anybody listening at Saucony?!) It's that good. The experience of tightening the entire foot instead of pinching the instep. The towbox is wide for great expansion with almost zero drop and yet a well supportive, cushioning midsole - not plush (like the Hoka) but definitely more "responsive". The only part that took me getting used to was the "fabric" of the upper. It's more stretchy and plastic than fabric at the edges, with mesh/fabric in the middle. As a running shoe, this is a great idea - they're practically waterproof in puddles as long as they're no deeper than this part. I decided I liked it after I got used to it. But I'm interested in the durability of this material. I can't say enough good things about this BOA system - it's fantastic.
