Great shoe. Can really feel the ground under your feet. My only problem is that I listened to the recommendations and got a half size larger than what I usually get. I'd say stick with your normal size. I notice they really eat up my heel by scraping it every step I take, which may be solely due to the size being too large, but still wearable. I liked them too much I didn't feel like returning them for a size smaller. They'll wear out eventually. I wear these to mimic barefoot running since they'll very minimalistic and have good traction for dirt. You can run on roads but they're really meant for cross country.

Lightness -
I had just bought 11 size (Normally I use 9.5...). I made a 2km-walk test and I liked them. They are perfect to strengthen lower legs.

This is a nice minimal shoe with little padding. I bought them to try and learn to run more on my forefoot. They seem to be good for this. I've used them three times a week for speed training with good results so far. Once I've built up my calves a little more, I expect to run in them full time. They do run at least a size small (I can usually wear a size 10 if I squeeze a bit, and had to go to a size 11).

Overall a really nice shoe. My foot is a bit more narrow than most and the shoe fits great. Sizes run a bit small (I wear a 9.5 and the 10 is what fits). It is comfortable and holds up well for a running flat.

These shoes are amazing. They feel like you're running on air. They're so lightweight that you practically spring into the air with every step.

Nice lightweight shoe -
My son loved the look of these...but he couldn't get them on...they run (easily) a size smaller than normal and are VERY narrow.

Can only find these online. I was hesitant to buy as I read sizing is different than normal shoes. Zappos great return policy made me feel at ease in buying my first shoes on-line. The styling of these shoes is terrific. They look great! Very light shoe that is also super comfortable. Might be a little tight if you have wide feet. Mine are slim to average. I normally wear an 11 in dress, every day type shoes. I purchased a 12 in these and they fit perfect.

The shoe runs very narrow and short. I am normally an 11, but 11.5 fits with thin sock. Heavier sock would require a size 12. Great look, great comfort, and they pack down really well!

Not a bad shoe, but had trouble with the heel -
While this may be a great shoe, it wasn't a good fit for me. I went for a run and the top of the back of the right shoe ended up rubbing against my Achilles tendon, which I became numb to after the first mile. Unfortunately, at the end of the run I discovered it was worse than I realized and blood soaked through the shoe. I haven't been able to run for 2 weeks now as I've been wearing flip flops trying to get the back of my foot to heal. I'm not warning against purchasing... it may be an issue specific to my foot. Just be careful if you do find the shoe to be rubbing against the Achilles tendon!

Good running shoe -
First of all: ZAPPOS ... AMAZING!!! Bought a few pairs of shoes from here and every time the customer service is impeccable. Last winter I bought a pair of boots for my wife that she wore for a few months before holes developed in them. Emailed Zappos and they said the shoes didn't live up to the quality they expect so they refunded us. With these Sauconys, they upgraded my shipping from 2-3 day to overnight air free of charge. Only at Zappos! Anyway, these shoes are very nice. Great support and the traction is superb! They put "spring" into my step and make jogging easier on my knees. They did fit a little tight lengthwise, so I'd recommend buying a half size bigger than you are used to (at least if you wear socks with your running shoes). Pleased overall.

Good XC shoe, great traction with minimal weight and cushion making this a fast shoe. Not for those with wide feet.

Zappos comes thru once again!
Bought these shoes for my teenage son who does track for high school. Figured cuz of the low price they would be just that low quality; but to the contrary my son loves them, he won’t even practice in them just to save them for meets, they are the lightest shoes I have ever held...

A great shoe for anyone not wanting to pay too much, but still needing a quality shoe. The shoes are extremely light and flexible.

Great shoe -
This is my first pair of flat running shoes and I really like them. They are light but do feel solidly made.
When I first put them on and walked on them, they felt snug but perfectly fine without socks. I did try them with socks and it felt really uncomfortable. I suppose I could have tried a thinner sock but I don't think that the shoe needs it.

I wish every company had the customer service, class, dedication, quality, selection, timeliness, affordability, and style of Zappos. Zappos is the pinnacle of what any business should be. Don't get me wrong; I still browse shoe stores at the mall, but that's just so I never forget how great Zappos is.
I bought these Kilkennys in white/yellow for athletics, but when I tried them on, they looked so good that I'll probably end up wearing them downtown. The yellow-gold is just eye-catching enough to draw a bit of attention on the track, but the understated and predominant white and black (these came with an extra set of black laces, unlike my Jazz) coloring shows that I bought these for an actual purpose, not just for looks. These Sauconys feel much more snug than the pair of Jazz I have in the same size, but that's exactly how it should be with a flat. The last pair of flats I had worn were Asics, which were excellent, but didn't hold up for long. These Kilkenny's look quite solid and they won't soak my socks if I have to cut through a wet surface. There isn't much cushioning (also exactly how it should be with a flat), but what cushion is present is evenly distributed, giving these more stability than I expected with a flat. This is definitely preferable to the Jazz, which has excessive cushioning at the heel and very little cushioning at the ball leading into the toe.

Ok, this is a terrific off-road running shoe. It’s very light weight, very flexible, yet durable and gives a great 'feel' for the trail without giving up protection. Kind of an off-road racing flat. However, it is also very small. If you have wide feet, your toes are going to feel cramped unless you get a wider size than you normally would. I normally run with socks on (odd-ball, I know), and ended up having to get a full half size larger than my normal shoe size and probably could have gone up a full size without difficulty. So, other than the size issue, I highly recommend this shoe for anyone looking for a light, flexible, minimalist shoe.
