Review on Saucony Women's Echelon 8 Running Shoe: Maximum Comfort and Performance for Female Runners by Tyrone Lyons

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great for my flat feet

I am a runner with anatomical flat feet (ie no arch) and wanted to try a shoe designed specifically for my foot shape. These shoes are very comfortable and offer ample cushioning and support during your workout. Towards the end of my run, I no longer feel the fatigue and numbness in my joints that I used to experience with other brands. These shoes are also very well made. I bought my normal size 9 and they fit perfectly, had enough room to put on a thick sock and I could still wiggle my toes. The back of the shoe is absolutely non-slip. The laces have a slight stretch which allows me to put the shoes on as I please. I wish they were in different colors and a little more stylish but I'm glad I switched to this brand. I discovered Saucony after reading an article in Runner's World magazine recommending their shoes for people with anatomical flat feet. I recommend trying them out even if you're not a runner. I suspect they would be good for walking and standing for long periods of time.

Pros
  • Simple platform provides a stable, wide base
Cons
  • Long delivery time
