I originally bought a pair of these in 11 1/2, realized they didn't fit but there were no 12s in stock. Nine months later, they're back, and they are amazing! I love the low-profile and low stack height, and despite being much more minimalist, they have both a great road feel and enough cushion to keep you going. Can I also say that these colors are bangin'! The Citron is so electric and the orange just POPS. I may have to buy a couple more pairs for later on.

I wish companies have more of these types of shoes, I dislike the high stack ones. And also the high drop. So this one is perfect, but not available in my size anymore

Great shoe, I've put a thousand Kilometres into them and done 2 marathons. They are my All road running shoe. I'm so so sad they are not available anymore, I dislike high stack shoes.

I am so sad these shoes are discontinued. They are fantastic, light, flexible, and great for race walk. Please bring them back.

Use for track workouts; don't like using plated shoes until race time

The Saucony Type A was the shoe I wore when I first ran a sub 3 hour marathon in Chicago 2012 when I was 44 years old. The Type A has been my go to racing shoes for a decade. I went on to have 11 more sub 3 hour marathons in the Type A. It is a fast, properly cushioned shoe that is also really comfortable. While Type A 5 was the most durable shoe I have *ever* owned, the Type A 6 was my favorite - though all of them were better than any other shoe out there. It is regrettable there has not been another run of the Type A's like there was for the Fastwitch - also a good shoe.

Light shoe. Well made. Stitching holds together. Dries fast. Very slight arch support. Just a solid minimal shoe.

Bought initially for speedwork on road and it has since become my go-to shoe for all road activities I throw at them. Even perform well on non-technical trail in a pinch. Also people love the look. Style points.

Love the look and the lightness....just like a feather and I'm a walker not a runner to be clear. I think the toe box is a little tight and also I got a little chafed on my right heel but I just adjusted to that with a little cushion and now it's fine....I bought a 2nd pair in the other color so I have to like them.
Got many compliments on the look from many people...especially women LOL!

A straightforward minimalistic shoe. Light, durable, and effective. I use them on road speed repeats and some track sessions. Great shoe that I will order again.

Shoe fits well. Love color scheme even for this 83 yr. old daily runner. Really like light weight. Seem to run little faster with this light weight shoe.

Great fit on this shoe, I like the feel during my run. Perfect amount of cushion no issues so far. If you're a fore foot / mid foot runner these are perfect.

Kinda reminds me of the A4, great looks and masses of feel in a very lightweight shoe.
I wanted a shoe where I can feel the ground beneath my feet without being too hard.
I mostly run 5-7kms fast, and also use them for walking around in.
Just love them.. did I mention they look amazing too!?

I love these shoes. They are super light and fast. I weight 170 and in process of losing weight. Did an 8 mile run and felt great. I get compliments every time I wear them.
