Customer Reviews Saucony Cohesion 7

I have never been happier with an athletic shoe purchase. I am aesthetically picky and have very hard-to-fit feet. They're wide, have slightly higher-than-average arches, and I'm a supinator/underpronator (my feet don't roll inward like they're "supposed" to; impact lands on the outside edge of my feet). I've gone through two pairs of Saucony Echelons in the past (versions 1 & 2), and though I loved the way they fit, I was never happy with the colors. It seems to be industry standard to only offer a single color option to folks with wide feet, whereas people with non-wide feet get 3+ colors to choose from. Very frustrating, especially for someone like me who is decidedly not into the day-glo colors that seem to be so popular with this sort of shoe it seems that the "wide color" is always the most garish. I've always wanted a dark shoe, so when my last pair of Echelons finally bit the dust, I decided to do a little shopping around. After several frustrating tries of many brands who do not seem to understand the mechanics of building a wide shoe, I circled back to Saucony and discovered the Cohesion 7. Holy cow, you guys, these things are wonderful. I can't overstate how happy I am. There's plenty of room in the toe and instep (so important for my wide ball/high arch shape), great grip on the heel, nice stable base while still being flexible, super lightweight, and for once the only color option available in a wide width is actually attractive! Subdued and pretty not too bright, not too girly. And to top it all off, they're half the price of the Echelon! These gems are such a rarity that I've already ordered a second pair to have on hand as a replacement for when my first pair are worn out. I've never even considered doing that before. So, so pleased.

These are consistent with past Saucony Cohesion shoes I have owned. Comfortable, stable support. (I have wide toes, and narrow heel.) Priced right. Zappos service still super fast and reliable.

Great shoes! I did not particularly want this color, as they are rather bright, and I prefer a more conservative look, but these were the only ones on sale. I was going to change the shoe laces, but decided to leave the bright green laces in. I guess from a safety factor this works because several people have commented on their brightness while I am walking, so they definitely see me. As far as comfort these are great. I walk 4.5 miles a day 6-7 days a week, and these provide the comfort I need, as well as support. This is my second pair, and I will definitely buy them again.

These are my favorite sneakers. I used them years ago in the breast cancer walk in the city 39.2 miles and I didn't get any blisters or pain! I've been having trouble with my feet and bought these and my pain is gone!! Highly recommended!

I've always been a fan of Saucony running shoes and the Cohesion didn't disappoint. I had the trail version but have been running more on asphalt so I bought these to try -- love them. Perfect combination of support, cushioning, and fit. The trademark Saucony snug heel is there and the nice wide toebox too. I like the weight of these shoes too as they're not too heavy and feel very durable. Highly recommend, as with all Saucony products. I've tried other running shoes and always come back to Saucony. (Note: I usually run anywhere from 3-5 miles a day.)

Cute sneaker, but a little too long for me. I have a pair of the Cohesion 6 sneakers in 7.5 that fit better but liked the color scheme of this sneaker. Unfortunately, they are going back. Thanks to Zappos for super fast shipping -- I received them the very next day!

I just love these and own them in two color combos. Due to severe foot issues, I have a lot of pain and wear custom orthotics. And wearing a size 12 (or larger sometimes) makes shoe shopping a nightmare so I was thrilled that these shoes are perfect! They are cute and comfortable, with lots of cushioning and easily accommodate my inserts. A size 12 Medium (thank you Saucony and Zappos for offering this size) fits my wider forefoot but narrower heel perfectly. Plenty of room in the toe box. As always, Zappos is the best company ever!

This is my second pair! I have a foot that is wide in front and "regular" in the heel. I buy these in wide and they fit well. I wear them for walking and they offer good support and cushioning without being too heavy.

I have always had a difficult time finding shoes that fit my wide feet. As soon as I put these on, I smiled. They are the perfect width! For once a shoe was comfortable. These have good support. I've been wearing them to workout in for the last month. They are hands down the most comfortable athletic shoe I've ever owned. Please be prepared for the very bright neon yellow trim. It took me a bit to get used to that.

I have a hard time finding shoes that fit well and are comfortable. I have a wide foot and a high arch - double whammy! These shoes were comfortable right out of the box! Usually when I get new shoes I have to take an old pair along to change into after I've worn the new ones for a couple hours. Not these!! I work them to my store today, had an especially busy day on my feet a lot and they were comfortable all day! That NEVER happens!! I'm so excited, I want to buy 5 more pair just to have them around for a while!!!!

Great when you need to walk a lot in warm weather. Lots of support and cushioning with a roomy, ventilated toe box. You can feel a breeze on your toes. Trim is a little cheesy-looking, and wish they'd offer it without an accent color.

Nice overall, everyday shoe. Too soft for running I would say but I don't run. Very comfortable for the neutral foot.

I have been wearing Cohesions for over 5 years, and instead of trying out newer, more cutting edge models, I prefer to stick with tried and true. I run 20-25 miles per week, and have had only one injury since I've been wearing these (but don't think it's related to the shoe). I love the cheerful colors, too.

I've worn this shoe for about a year now. I use them when I go to my bootcamp workouts and also just taking walks with my dogs around town. They are super comfy and are holding up really well with the support over time. I have a wide food too and the fit was perfect. The quality is great and there are no tears or rips after a year of full time use. I will be buying them again when they wear out. I'm almost ready to buy another pair but I just gave this pair a full wash and they are like new again! So I will see how long they will keep up. I'm thinking they have about a 1-2 years of wear from regular use. I usually order a 8.5 (I have wide feet but not long enough for a 9) but all they had was a size 9. I have had no problem with fit! Plenty of room in the front even with socks. It might be best to order a half size up just for the extra size when you wear socks. I use the really thin short ankle socks.

Overall, these fit well. I wear a 7 medium. Width was good. The length may be slightly longer than normal, but not enough for me to return because they are comfortable.

So comfortable! Wanted another pair, but always disappointed when they "improve" an already great shoe. Then I have to start searching again...hope this becomes available again.

Very comfortable shoes. They fit well. I purchased the wide width and there is lots of room for my toes. The gray color is very nice - I did not want a loud, flashy color and the gray is perfect. I am pleased with these shoes.

I have ordered and returned a lot of shoes and this is the company I seem to have the best luck with. Plenty of cushion and arch support, plus I have wide feet and they feel true to size. I can wiggle my toes. My only complaint is they tend to wear out where my big toe hits the top of the shoe. I wear them to work for 9 hrs an day and my feet are pretty happy.

Great shoe and great price. I've been pretty loyal to New Balance in the past - always buying wide because of the toe box. But NBs keep falling apart after about 4 months of wear. Sauconys feel solid and are comfortable and supportive, and even if they begin to wear, I haven't paid top dollar so won't feel 'taken' when I have to replace them. So far they are super.

I love these shoes. I own them in two different colors, one for the gym and one for work. I'm a nurse and am on my feet all shift and these shoes are the best. I would highly recomment them.

I have never tried this brand before and I'm glad I gave them a try. I love these shoes! The material is very breathable too.

LOVE LOVE LOVE these shoes! This is my third pair of Saucony Cohesions (the previous were earlier versions)... and I'll never buy another running shoe. This is the first shoe that doesn't squeeze my toes and/or cause toe pain. The wide bed - and mesh-top are a savior for me. LOVE these!

Wonderfully comfortable shoe. True to size/fit. light weight but offers support. Good looking. Highly recommended.

I love the Saucony brand. I always replace the removable insole with my custom orthotic. The Cohesion 7 seems to run wider than my other Saucony shoes but between my orthotics and a pair of thicker socks they work fine. These shoes are really light weight and comfortable with absolutely no break-in time.

This is the best pair of running shoes, winning over than the ones that I bought for over $100. The shoes are light, yet have good support and cushion. It's good for forefoot running, too.
