If you are a "minimalist" runner but don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on certain brands of barefoot or minimal shoes, these are great! I ran my first marathon in them, did tons of training on roads and hills. Thank you Saucony for not changing a shoe that works (except for color) like so many other manufacturers do! These are awesome shoes.

I just ordered these yesterday, wore them all day today and am in love! I might consider ordering other colors down the line. They are perfect for everything. I don't like shoes with a lot of loft so these are perfect. They are comfortable out of the box. I am usually a 7.5 or 8 and ordered an 8 so I can vary the weight of socks I use without problem. The only minor complaint I have is that the back of the shoe rubs on my ankle, but that would easily be solved with more of a crew sock; I was wearing very low socks.

These shoes are shockingly comfortable to bop around town in. I have a wider, 7 1/2 to 8 foot and typically wear Keen shoes/boots. I bought an 8 in these and they fit perfectly w/enough room in the toe box. If Adidas (Tigers) and Pumas in a similar style are too narrow for you, these might work. I'd wear something else to work, walk, or do a lengthy shop in. The color is a nice neutral sage grey.

These shoes squeak when I walk in them, which drives me crazy. I wanted to love these but I still find myself reaching for an older pair of sneakers instead of these new squeakers.

I have been searching for a great flat for Crossfit and found it in this shoe. I do everything in it...lift, jump, run, etc. Very light weight and form fitting...not to mention super cute. Love these shoes.

I love my Sauccony..it make think back in the 80’s in high school.i had these when I was 17 .. I wear 9 , I got 10 What I know about This sneakers is that it run small and you have go with your best judgment by examining the sneaker or shoe carefully .For me to get a whole size bigger I have narrow long feet ,Me getting a size 10 is the wisest decision I’ve made .They are comfortable and I don’t have to return them.. yay!!

I have officially found the best causal sneakers. These are the best shoes, not only are they super comfortable and affordable, I wear a size 11 and bought a size 11 and they don’t make my feet look huge like a lot of other sneakers can. I got them in the light grey which has a sliver tone. I really loved that the shoes come with a white pair of shoe strings and a grey pair. I like the look of the dark grey shoe strings against the light grey shoes. I’m definitely getting more bullet Saucony shoes. Bonus there’s no breaking them in. The first time I wore them was to an amusement park and they felt amazing all day.

I just spent 10 weeks studying abroad throughout China, and I wore these Sauconys every single day. I adore these shoes, I found them so comfortable! On days when I was hiking/running I would put in a pair of Dr. Scholls pads and they were extra comfortable! I had to to exchange them for a whole size larger (from a 6 to a 7), but then they fit like a gem!

Was excited to receive my new sneakers less than 1 month ago, but after wearing them for 8 days, the sides started to tear. The fit is perfect with enough space for my toes. Loved the style, it’s the quality that is disappointing.

I own several pairs of these shoes in different colors. Low profile, super light-weight, comfortable. Zappos is cheaper than amazon for the pricing and just as fast. One note on these: the description is black and silver, but they basically look black and white.

This is my 2nd try at sizing, I went up a full size and they finally fit! Padded around the ankle, a bit spongy in the insole, and very lightweight. I have a very high arch, so this one doesn't reach for me. Love the style!

Perfect running errands or kicking around shoe! I ordered an 8 as recommended by a couple of reviewers, and I'm glad I did. I think that I could have worn a 7.5 based on the room at the end, but I like the room to wiggle my toes. And the heel cradle is so wonderfully snug that I'm not slipping and sliding even with the toe wiggle room. If you love color and all my yoga and active clothes are black so I add color with shoes. The electric purple is hot!

I think women need to come to terms with their actual shoe size. I read the reviews and many women said “get a half size up.” I ordered my actual size and it fit. Perfectly. I just think women wanna think they’re a 8.5 when really, you’re an 9. There’s no shame in admitting your real shoe size to yourself. The shoes are light and minimal. Very nice look. True to size. I like them plus they came super fast! Like 2 days. But all my orders from Zappos are amazingly fast. And I live in the sticks.

I bought these in 11, my normal size is 10M. They are slightly big, but I think a 10 would have made my toes hit the front of the shoe. I wore them to the San Antonio zoo with hours of walking. There was no rubbing, no pain, they were extremely light and comfortable. Heaven!

I bought these as low-profile shoes for traveling. They will work great for that. The issues I find are: 1) The sides swoop down quite a bit between the back and the laces. The main issue with this is it shows a lot of your sock. I have on a basic low profile sock and you see more of it than I would like. I now need to buy some even shorter socks. 2) I find my sock squeaks on the back of the shoe when I walk. Also, just FYI, I usually wear an 8 and found I needed an 8.5.

I love these shoes! I walk a lot, and I have either been wearing holes in my shoes or getting blisters from shoes that don’t fit well. These shoes were perfect the first time I used them. I’m anxious to see how well they hold up, but for now they are my new favorite brand.

I purchased a pair in 9.5 (my usual for tennis shoes) but had to return for 10's. I now have two pair, a black pair and a grey pair. The grey pair I took out the white shoe laces and used the dark grey ones they have for you to exchange out. I think it looks much nicer than the white. I get a lot of compliments on these tennis shoes as they are very sporty and cool looking. They are quite thin, but sleek and look much nicer with leggings than my bulky running shoes. I think they are great to run around town in. Please be advised that they have absolutely no cushion, no arch support and you feel like you are walking almost barefooted so you certainly don't want to walk miles and miles in these. I just noticed someone commented on a swishing sound while walking. Sometimes I hear this and some flopping but I thought it was because I have a little room at the toe. Again, the 9.5 was tighter than I like so to have room and not feel squished I bought size 10. Overall the sound doesn't bother me and it's not constant.

This is my second pair of these shoes! I love them. I can do everything in them: long walks, a night out dancing, running around with my little one. I usually wear an 8.5, and that is what I ordered these in. The fit perfectly. They have super thin soles which allows me to feel everything when I'm walking. There is little to no arch support, which I like (it makes me more aware of how I'm stepping). Love the purple color too!

Fit true to size. I'm usually a 9 or 9.5 and these fit perfectly in a 9. They're my favorite shoes for lifting, running or just hanging around. They're very stylish and super comfy. They're also more "barefoot" style so this makes them even more appealing to me. Highly recommend.

Wore this shoe today for zumba and kickboxing and it was lightweight, comfy and super cute! Love it! The arch support isn't quite there but surprisingly my feet were okay. Love the shoe!

Perfect! Low profile casual athletic shoe. These are for being comfortable and looking cute at the same time. Order a 1/2 size larger than usual. I find this to be the case much more these days with many athletic shoe brands not just these. For example I wear a 6 1/2 to 7 in high heels and flats but in athletic shoes 7 1/2. I do love these shoes almost as much as I love Zappos! Bought these in black, look great, no break in time!

Okay , I don’t have dainty feet. I have wide, flat feet with a Greek toe and bunions... I know, I know... anyway, I LOVE these shoes. I hate clunky shoes and I am very picky about sneakers. I buy these in my actual size (8.5) and they fit fine! MEASURE YOUR FEET, Ladies! Believe me, it’s hard to have ugly clodhoppers and find a comfortable and flattering sneaker. These actually flatter the foot. I wear these with no-show socks. I don’t think there’s arch support— or very mild— but my flat feet can’t stand a lot of arch in the foot bed. These shoes are perfect. Do not wear these if you are doing any hiking that involves slippery rocks, ha ha, they’re not made for that. Oh, and I like to jog in these and enjoy feeling the ground under my feet. They really taking a beating, do well in the wash and are my best friends. I have four pair and will get more.

I bought these to walk around the city and so far, I love them. They are extra comfy, supple and very light. They come with and extra set of laces (yellow), which is fun. I bought the black because I wanted something neutral but I will definitely get a second pair of colorful ones for the summer.
