    Just ok....: my rating

    Poorly padded. Labeled as moderate but persistent. Also, there is a minimal drop from heel to toe. I'm definitely feeling more pointy rocks in the balls of my feet. Otherwise good shoes. top quality. i love boaz

    Pros
    • The men's Saucony Switchback ISO trail running shoe comes in a size 14, making it ideal for those with large feet who struggle to find comfortable and supportive trail running shoes.
    Cons
    • Shoes may not be comfortable enough for people who overpronate.

    Boa Constrictor for Victory is the best in my rating

    The Boa lacing system is amazing. I love the colors, the fit and the feel. More like a minimalist shoe but with more sole and cushioning than the NB minimalists. I wish more shoes had the Boa lacing system. Fit is available.

    Pros
    • impressively
    Cons
    • The heel can slip, causing discomfort and instability when running.

    Bad fabric quality

    Very convenient. I love the BOA lacing system. But the fabric frayed where the toe was worn in less than a week. I will not buy shoes made from this fabric again.

    Pros
    • The tough rubber outsole offers superior durability and can withstand rough terrain and heavy use, making it a reliable option for long-term use.
    Cons
    • Shoes may not be suitable for people with narrow heels.

    Comfortable with good traction

    I've only been wearing these shoes for about a week, but they are very comfortable for me. I'm not a runner but I've put on a few miles and the grip on every surface I've encountered is excellent. They appear to be durable, but time will tell.

    Pros
    • Only sneakers...hadn't broken them in yet...but they're good and comfortable now
    Cons
    • The design may not provide enough support for people with flat feet.

    BOA vs LACES is the best in my rating

    I've bought a couple of pairs of Ever running shoes and love them. I didn't notice BOA's characteristics when choosing this pair. It is comfortable, but not as comfortable as models with laces.

    Pros
    • The vibrant lemon and black combination makes the shoe stylish and eye-catching to keep you looking your best on the go.
    Cons
    • Shoes may be uncomfortable to wear if you have a history of blisters or calluses.

    The exact size is the best in my rating

    I really love these shoes. Minimalist feel, good grip and I'm a big fan of the lacing system. But even without the ISO, these are amazing shoes. The only thing to watch out for is that they have a wide toe box if you're not used to that.

    Pros
    • Great light and fast trail running shoe. The BOA lacing system makes it easy to adjust the fit on the go.
    Cons
    • Shoes may need a break-in period before they are comfortable.

    Ventilation: my rating

    I use it not only for hiking but also for my daily commute to work. The mesh in the toe area is really ventilating, I could feel the LRT conditioner.

    Pros
    • Like the shoes. I like the BOA system of dressing. I took them running, they are light and fit my feet perfectly.
    Cons
    • Shoes may not be suitable for people with plantar fasciitis.

    Tech-savvy; need more comfort

    I really appreciate the lacing system for both the convenience, the functionality and the cool factor, but the insole feels like a trough and doesn't give me the usual comfortable (flatter) surface that I'm used to from my other Suacony shoes am . . I will try a new insole to correct my personal negativity towards shoes. I hope Saucony uses this lacing in more of their popular shoes.

    Pros
    • Voladora de Trope
    Cons
    • For people looking for lightweight trail running shoes, the shoe may be too heavy.

    Broke on FIRST DAY

    I love the idea of these shoes. The Boa quick lacing system works great! I no longer have to tie my shoelaces. However, as I have seen from other reviews, the durability of this shoe seems very low. I wore these shoes around the house all day to test them out. Only to not even find out at the end of the day that the tongue holding the Boa lacing system snapped. I didn't even do anything physical today except get up from my chair a few times to go to the bathroom or get lunch from the fridge. If

    Pros
    • Slightly larger than other Saucony shoes of this size. Otherwise great shoes.
    Cons
    • Shoes can have a short lifespan with frequent use.

    Dig up last review - my new review

    Good minimums. I've had them for a month now and have never worn them. It's atypical for me (I wear out my sneakers quickly), but I like it. I've been a fan of Boa for a while.

    Pros
    • The Saucony Switchback ISO men's trail running shoe offers superior traction and traction over uneven terrain for a safer, more stable run.
    Cons
    • Shoes may not provide adequate cushioning for people with knee or back pain.

    Excellent, durable and comfortable

    Really comfortable and the Boa lacing system is still comfortable and secure. I would recommend them for trail running or daily walks.

    Pros
    • Very comfortable but seem fragile. The time will show.
    Cons
    • I've been running at Saucony for over 10 years. This couple didn't have the same feeling. Usually comfortable shoes, but not this time

    Extremely comfortable with plenty of protection

    I've put 50 miles in my new Switchback Iso and am very impressed. These shoes don't have the usual plate in the outsole to protect against sharper rocks, which was an issue. These shoes handle everything but the most technical, unkempt trails. The lacing wheel seems useless but actually saves a lot of time and the ratcheting sound is reassuring. I overstretched them on my left foot on a run, causing an uncomfortable feeling on the top of my foot, but I attributed it to user error. Compared to…

    Pros
    • Imported
    Cons
    • Annoying

    Tech-savvy; needs more comfort

    The lacing system is well-regarded for comfort, functionality and coolness, but the insole feels like a trough and doesn't give me the usual comfort ( flatter ) surface , which I am used to from other Suacony shoes. I will try a new insole to correct my personal negativity towards shoes. I hope Saucony uses this lacing in more of their popular shoes.

    Pros
    • FORMFIT uses three layers of contoured foam to support the foot
    Cons
    • Durable
