I have loved earlier versions of this shoe and have always worn them a full 2 sizes larger than my foot measures. The fit has become considerably shorter and narrower still. Not sure if sizing up again would help. Saucony, please return to the earlier fit profile.

Wow were these shoes uncomfortable. I normally wear a 7.5 but I know Saucony runs small so I bought an 8. They were still too small! My toes were jammed right up against the tips. Add to that my foot feeling like it was spilling over the edges of the soles and the supports feeling like they were in all the wrong places, I just couldn't see how sizing up would help. I'm disappointed that Saucony seems to be prioritizing fashion over function. I used to live in their shoes for walking around NYC with kids and I haven't been able to get a new pair in a over a year.

My shoe size is a 7.5. I bought an 8, and they were still too small. Cute shoe though.

I am very disappointed with this shoe. I've had many Sauconys over the years-they're typically my go to running shoe- but the Fastwitch may have ended that. The fit was true to size. It's the function of this shoe that missed the mark. I took a short run in these shoes and my lower back felt like it was on fire before I got through the first mile. I am unable to even walk in these shoes without lower back pain. There is absolutely no support and no cushion, I may as well been running barefoot. I would not recommend. At All.

I have been running in Saucony shoes for over 25 years now. I have purchased the Fastwitch for the majority of those years. I prefer very lightweight shoes and these fit that need well. I also prefer the low heel to toe drop. I run on my forefoot and these shoes give me enough support to avoid any injuries while I run on the pavement/sidewalk surfaces in my neighborhood. I do purchase 1/2 size up from my regular shoe size. I am not picky about color but do like the variety of color options with this shoe. I have worn them for various distances: 5K, 10K, half marathon and other distances in between. I run approximately 30 miles per week and a pair lasts me about 4 months before they start to show wear. I am always happy with my purchases of the Fastwitch.

I'm a forefoot runner and I love these shoes. Also comfortable enough for long runs. If you're between sizes, order the larger size.

Super lightweight and very comfy. Feels like wearing nothing. I love Saucony and always buy them for running shoes. These run small. I have never in my life had to buy a bigger size but the size I normally wear were too small. Went up half a size and they were perfect. I got the neon yellow and red and they are pretty fun.

I have multiple pairs of Sauconys in 9.5. These were short and narrow. Easily exchanged for a 10 and I'm very happy with fit & color. But might plan to get .5 size larger in this one.

Great lightweight running shoe. It does run a little narrow and I had to buy .5 size bigger, normally a 9.5 had to get a 10! Fantastic colour!

If you look for a light-weight, minimal running shoe with just enough support to go longer distances, this is it. My feet are on the narrow side and the fit is perfect. Considering how light-weight these shoes are, they've lasted much longer than expected. Just ignore the colors, your feet don't care. I don't write reviews otherwise, but I'm in love with this shoe.

Liteweight, confortable, good looking: those shoes are perfect for running (for me!) The pale yellow on the top get dirty easily, but it's the only con.

I absolutely hate shopping for shoes. I have old issues with my Achilles tendon which make most tennis shoes (all shoes in general) pretty uncomfortable. I spent months shopping for a new pair of gym shoes but everything seemed too heavy. These turned out to be amazing shoes. They are lightweight for running and grip well. The shoes are flexible for lifting, bending, moving, etc. I haven't had them that long but I am hoping the quality lasts.

I worked in the running shoe business for years and I've always chosen another brand to run in, BUT Saucony has won my heart in recent years and I'm completely sold and won't ever switch back. I'm not sure how Saucony can accomplish such a lightweight racing shoe that also has medial support, but they clearly did it with this shoe! I love this shoe! I've ran up to a half marathon in these so far, and they felt great!

My first Saucony purchase and I'm in love - I was a bit concerned they were small when I first tried them on, but spoke to a Saucony rep and they said the shoes would stretch a bit. So, I kept them and am glad I did - they are a perfect fit. I use them for road races as well as high intensity gym workouts. I don't think I'll ever go back to Nike and am looking forward to using them on my next 10 mile race!

Huge improvement over the previous two generations. Lighter, yet feels more cushioned. If you know which size to get (half a size bigger), then fits beautifully and provides good support. Great road-racing shoe. Miss the funny quotes on the sole! Wish there were more color options.

It's too built up under the foot arch. I wish it was flat. Color is horrible, but also crazy and cool in some way. Comfortable sole. Good quality. The toe box could be a tad wider for my wide feet. For a normal/narrow foot it should be fine.
