Customer Reviews Saucony Kilkenny XC4 (Flat)

This minimalist shoe is great for the gym! Fit very supportive. I love Saucony!

Runs very small! I normally wear a size 8.5 tennis shoe; after reading reviews I ordered the 9.5 and it was too small!

Let me first say that I am a totally new runner. I am 30 years old and I have never run for pleasure or sport in my life. This is my first pair of official running shoes, as I am training for my first 5k. Fit: I am a size 7.5 in nearly every shoe I've ever bought, but after reading the reviews I ordered a full size up and I really like the fit. They are a somewhat narrow shoe (I have a medium-width foot), but with the step up in size I found that was not a problem for me. Comfort: Overall, these are very comfortable for running shorter distances. I run on pavement, but I never go more than 3 or 4 miles. From what I've seen around these days, these seem to be a somewhat minimalist running shoe, but with more cushioning than the barefoot running shoes that are coming out this year. I like the little bit of cushioning and stability, as my ankles are not the strongest; they perform that function without adding much bulk at all. They are definitely the lightest shoe I've ever worn and it made a big difference once I switched from my old Merrells, which were not built to be running shoes anyway. Not having more experience with distance running I don't have much more to say, but they are definitely cute and they serve my amateur running needs so I can't complain!

These shoes run small but they are cute and well-priced. I wish I understood that they are not true-to-size before I ordered them.

I wear an 8½ and I thought that I could get by with ordering a 9. Nope. I had to order a 9½. These are great shoes. They are much lighter weight and sleek than the picture shows!

I love these Kilkennys! They are super comfortable! I don't use them to run. I use them to wear with sporty clothes when I do my running around, errands, mall, etc or for a light workout. They are a nice streamline look, not clunky at all and feel great all day without socks in the hot hot hot south Florida heat. I have a narrower (B) medium width foot and I usually wear size 10 in all shoes except sneakers which I have to wear a 10.5 and these are very true to size with that in mind. Not going to fit a wide foot so don't even bother. Bought all the colors so far but love the black best! Going to buy another pair today! Would love an all white one, wish they would make it!

Definitely get a full size up! I read a bunch of reviews telling me to do so, but I normally take an 8.5 and have never worn a 9.5 in my life. So I ordered the 9.0 as a compromise and had to switch it out for the 9.5! Aside from figuring out the sizing thing, I love these shoes. The fit is great and they're really cute!

I really happy with these shoes. They are light weight, breathable, and comfortable. They do run a half size small.

I absolutely love these running shoes. They are really light, fit close to the foot, which make it feel like you are running without weight on your feet. I made sure to read the reviews before ordering. This shoe runs a FULL SIZE small. I ordered a full size larger than my normal size and it fits perfect, not loose at all. The purple color is really cool and fun, bright, but not obnoxious in my opinion.

I bought these on the recomendation of my son, who runs cross country. I did "break" them in slowly, only running about 5K or so at first. I have been running in them for a month now and have also shaved a few minutes off my best time! So, I am very happy with them! I did go up half a size and still found them to be snug. But, that is preferable for me.

Very cute shoes, but they run narrow. Haven't decided if I'll keep them. Threw away the box by mistake, so I guess they are mine now.

These shoes are nice and very comfortable but you have to get used to them. Very light for those who like to run with no socks on you'll completely feel free I like my socks on so still super light with them on. A+.

Great shoes, very comfortable, but like others have said they run small. I have wide feet and normally wear an 8.5 in Saucony shoes but I ordered a 9.5 and they fit perfectly.

I read several reviews that indicated I should order a full size up and so I did. They are a full size too big.

These are super cute and comfortable. As reviewers suggested, I ordered a full size up. I normally wear a 7.5 in Saucony and an 8 in most other shoes. So, I ordered an 8.5. I'm actually returning them for a 9! I never wear a 9, so yes, definitely order up, but with any luck, these will be great.

Shoe was identified as a size 8, but more like a size 7. Might be the maker of the shoe that the shoe sizing is off.

It took me three tries to get the correct size. I usually wear and 8 or 8.5, so, based on reviews and advice from a Zappos customer service rep., I first ordered 8.5. They were way too small (my toes were squished against the end of the shoe). I called Zappos customer service and asked how much bigger the size 9 would be. The rep. replied that it would be 1/8 inch longer...9.5 would be 1/4 inch longer. Being that the 8.5 was very small, I ordered the 9.5. Well...that was quite big - I would have had to fill the extra space with a couple of insoles. So, I decided to send them back too and order a 9. Yeah! They are perfect. My feet are quite narrow, so, depending on the width of your foot, order at least a 1/2 size larger or go a full size larger. Also, FYI, the aqua color is very green, it has no blue in it at all. I ended up getting the purple/pink...very cute.

I love Saucony shoes. They are lightweight and a great cross-functional shoe. I have found that they almost always run narrow though so be cautious of that. I have high arches and needed more cushion so I purchased separate in-soles for this shoe for added cushion. Otherwise, a great shoe and I love the color!

I usually wear a 9.5 sneaker and when I saw these ran small I ordered a 10. They are still too small. With the help of Zappos customer service, I have a 10.5 on the way to me. I hope these fit well because this is an awesome flat sneaker. I'm not accustomed to flat sneakers but they seem very comfortable and have a great grip on the bottom. I hope they last as long as my other Saucony sneakers!

Great super light shoes. Love the light blue color. Bought different insoles for them since I need more cushion and the ones that came with did not offer that.

Nice but they were not long enough. I usually wear a 6 or 6.5 depending on the maker. I got these in a 6.5 but they were half a size too short. Sent them back.

Bought these shoes for my two daughters who both wear a regular 7 in womens and they could barely get their feet in because these were so narrow. I would definitely go up a full size. That being said, they seem well made so I hope the larger size will fit.

Could barely squeeze them on. Had to return. I felt like they were pretty snug shoe even with a proper size.
