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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Extremely comfortable with adequate protection

I've ridden 50 miles in my new Switchback Iso and am very impressed. These shoes don't have the usual plate on the outsole to protect against sharper rocks, which was a concern for me, but for all but the most technical, unkempt. Trails, these shoes can handle it. The lacing wheel seems useless but actually saves a lot of time and the ratcheting sound is reassuring. I overtightened them on my left foot during a run which caused foot discomfort, but I attribute that to user error. Compared to previous trail running shoes, the toe box is wide enough to make me feel very comfortable. Thumbs up!

Pros
  • impressively
Cons
  • May not be suitable for people with flat feet
