I bought a pair of Bullets back in high school - the were my first Saucony shoes. I thought they looked sleek, I liked the thinner sole, and most of all: they were the first pair of shoes that fit perfectly and comfortably on first try. I loved that pair of shoes. I bought the shoes when I was 18, and I am 23 now - I only just stopped wearing them because I finally wore a hole in the rubber of the right shoe (and if I'm being honest, I still wear them on nice days when the ground is dry). They are STILL my most comfortable shoes, and I have tried several others - they have been up mountains, through deep mud (and then the laundry), and across my college campus more times than I could recount. I have worn them while skateboarding, dancing, running, and playing sports with friends.
I would love to replace my old pair - if there were better color options. I loved the light grey/white and light green versions of the shoe, and I'd love to see those colors and more make an appearance here. I'll be first in the queue if that happens.

I bought my first pair a few years ago and they quickly became my go-to. I stand all day on my feet and shoes really are uncomfortable for me but these don't hurt me. I am not limping around by the end of a long day when I wear these. Please bring them back. I neeeed all the colors.

These are great shoes and I'm not sure why they would be discontinued as they have a big fanbase. If Saucony likes money they should continue making these.

I've owned more Bullets than any other shoe. They are so comfortable and wear really well for as simplistic as they are. Sadly it appears they are discontinuing them and I'll probably have to move to onitsuka 81's. Please keep this line alive and bring in some new colors, you'll get my money!

I love these shoes - they are my everyday go-to for dog walking and most other daily activities. Really hope that you continue to offer this style - could use a few more colors!

I've been buying these shoes for a while now. Just bought my 5th and 6th pairs. I'll reiterate what others have said - don't phase them out and add more colors!!!

I was introduce to Saucony bullet vegans 10 years ago and after those were discontinued I bought these. I wear them both for casual wear and for running. Really helps with promoting mid/forefoot strike for better running mechanics. Love how flexible they are. They're also my work shoe. I introduced them to my husband who wears zero drop minimalist shoes but needs just a tiny bit more padding in the heel for standing for hours at work. We both hope they don't get discontinued! Also would love more colors again.

The best shoe for riding a bike. It's really hard to find relatively low, flat non-bulky shoes right now because of the 00s trend of ugly bulky shoes being "in" right now, but as a bicyclist, I can't bike in bulky shoes. These are the most perfect shoes I've ever had for my bike. I wish there were more colors to choose from. And like others, wish it didn't seem like they are being discontinued. I love these shoes so much.

I bought a pair of these in 2013 and never looked back. I've lost count of how many pairs I've had. Black and white, dark gray, light gray, burgundy, blue and yellow, blue and gray. I will keep buying as long as they are available. Don't let me down, Saucony.

I love these shoes. I now have them in four colors, and should additional colors be released, I'll almost certainly get more! They are the perfect casual shoe - comfortable and cute without the bulk of a running shoe, and able to accommodate arch support insoles should you need that. I wear them at every opportunity - commuting, travel, weekends, weight lifting, even dressed up with a midi silk skirt - and constantly get compliments.

I've been wearing the bullets for over 10 years now. And they have been very difficult to find as of late. I was told they're discontinued? I hope not... if they are, please bring them back!!
One of the best shoes I've ever owned.

Love the Bullet and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a good comfortable running/walking show. Only thing I'm disappointed about is the lack of colors. Please give us some more color options and watch your sales soar

I have own several pair of the Bullets and am a huge fan. They helped in my transition to forefoot/ toe striking. Which lead to reduced back issues and better health! Thank you! Even if the bullet were discontinued the world needs a redesigned, low cost, zero drop, shoe in a similar styling. Perhaps like the mesh style of bullet that was released at one time.

Favourite trainers, hands down. Especially love the smooth lining at the heel - it wears much better than fabric, and the tonal grey colourway is a great neutral alternative to black.
As a large-footed female, it's really difficult to find flattering footwear, especially in the midst of dad sneaker mania. These take a full size off the appearance of my feet, and I promise I will actually cry if you stop making them.

I am on my third pair of Bullets and I came to this site looking to purchase more, not because they wear out, but because I, like others, fear they will soon no longer be available. I sincerely hope this is not the case. I purchased my first pair last year to replace Nike Killshots for casual fashion purposes. I had no idea I was going to get the perfect fitness/running shoe.
Being a previous fan of NB Minimus before they'd bulked up and lost my interest, I immediately found a home in these shoes. The way they hug the foot and give such a satisfying ground feel is unparalleled. I understand this shoe won't appeal to everyone, but for those of us who appreciate this low-profile approach, I cannot imagine a more perfect design.
Sometimes to move forward, we have to reach back. '80s-style running shoes offer everything you need and nothing you don't. Please please please continue manufacturing these. Slap different colors on them and I will keep buying.

Nice light barefoot shoe. I ordered the men’s size because it’s almost impossible to find a women’s.

I've been wearing these for years, and i absolutely love them! They are the best shoes I've ever owned. I buy a new pair every Christmas and pass on the old ones to someone who needs them. They are incredibly comfortable and light. I love the low profile as well. They are much less bulky than other casual Sauconys. I hope they aren't being cancelled!

I replaced a pair of Saucony Jazz. The 12’s fit great in those with the canvas uppers. The nylon Bullets (or what I am guessing is nylon) doesn’t stretch very well. I wish there was a 12.5, maybe even a 13.

I have incredibly flat feet. Someone suggested Saucony. I'm not a huge fan of the larger looking shoes but the bullet really caught my eye. I got one pair and now it's the only shoe I want to wear. I just ordeeed my second and third pair today. Please don't discontinue these shoes. The only thing I will say is to buy a size up. I wear an 8.5 in men's normally but the 9.5 fits in this particular shoe.
