Customer Reviews Saucony Echelon 9

I've been buying Echelons for years because they're the best fit for my wide feet and inserts. These new shoes are awful and nowhere near what they used to be as far as fit and style. They're completely mesh now which isn't going to work for every day use. Also, I bought wide because I wanted the blue, which fit so small. The extra wide is only available in black and fits like the Echelon 6,7,8 used to. Quite disappointed, I'm going to have to switch brands to find new shoes now.

I bought this shoe in blue this past fall. I was so very happy, I came back for the gray. I have never been so happy with a shoe. I have rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis arthritis, and "nurses feet" which means at 61 yrs old, I have no fat pad left on the bottoms of my feet. With that said, I am comfortable all day in these. Supported, yet padded. It's pure heaven. When I come home, I put keep them on until pajama time. Please don't stop making this shoe! It's a miracle!!!!

These sneakers are fantastic for folks with wide feet. I have used these with orthotics and they have been such a game changer! Great quality and comfort.

I love these shoes. I had a hip replacement and needed a good balanced shoe for my recovery. Now that I am walking a mile plus daily I have no pain anywhere in my body.

Love the wide toe.... Lots of room. Lightweight yet supportive. Sole flexible and not too bulky.

Great toe box for wide feet. Very comfortable for walking. Hoping for more colours

Great shoe, true to size, very comfortable feels like I'm walking on marshmallows!

My daughter runs cross country and has had severe hip pain over the last couple of months. Once we changed shoes to the Echelon 9, she is starting to feel better. She says they are sooo cushioned (she has extremely high arches) and can even fit her orthotics underneath the shoe pad. They are beautiful...the mesh almost looks lacy. Yes, they get dirty as they should, but we just throw them in the wash and let them air dry over the weekend. GREAT shoe!!

I bought these a month ago and LOVE them! After long walks, I have no pain in my knees, feet or back! They're amazing! Plan on getting another pair!

They improved the back of the shoe by ankle. My shoes would always wear in that area and fall apart with the foam coming out. Not anymore!!

They feet great and really help me have happy feet at the end of the day.

The Echelon 9 is perfect for my 83 year old feet with its wide toe box and soft mesh top. The light weight and broad heel base make it the ideal walking shoe for me!

These shoes saved my life! I've been wearing Asics Gel Cumulus for a decade and the toebox just gets narrower every year. I have developed capsulitis in my big toe joint and I need a bit more width and depth in my shoes-not only to stop rubbing on my swollen joint but to have enough room for inserts. Before getting these shoes I couldn't walk due to the pain-in the past month of owning these shoes I've put on more than 100 miles. I've tried both the regular and wide widths and both have plenty of room for my inserts, though I prefer the medium width. These shoes have literally saved me. I've purchased a few more since then. If these came in a Runshield option that would be the icing on the cake for this PNW lady.

Best running shoe I have ever owned, and I have owned many. Ran 2 marathons and still- Saucony always wins.

Very comfortable, fit great. I will be buying them again. Just wish I could keep them from getting dirty!

I recently purchased my second pair of Echelon 9 They are so comfortable on my feet

These shoes are so comfortable. My feet feel like i'm walking on a cloud and the inside cushioning is so soft. The toe box is wide enough that my toes aren't scrunched. I suffer from neuropathy and I highly recommend these shoes to anyone with problem feet.

I bought these before I left for a cruise with the intention of walking a lot. They were well worth it! Very comfortable and fit well.
