Saucony Shadow 6000. They feel great from new and have excellent cushioning. The price is very reasonable. I've owned and used up about 6 pairs and will continue to buy these as long as they make them. The last pair was made in China and there is a difference in quality and fit of shoe compared to the pairs that were made in U.S.A.

Great Shoe - This has been my only shoe for nearly 20 years of running. I've been injury-free for all these years, except for the brief time I let a friend convice me that another brand of shoe was better that winning the Lotto. After using those shoes, knee problems started, begining with shin splints, then hip soreness. The Saucony shoe lets me run like I'm built to run without any special support systems, angulation, or claims for miraculous results due to the shoe. I say, keep it simple and keep it affordable with a shoe that doesn't CREATE problems!!

I have been running in this shoe for the past six years and as long as they keep making it I will run exclusively in this shoe. It's a simple straight forward running shoe and that's what my foot seems to like. Occasionally I have tried one of the new shoes with all the bells and glitter, but always end up back with the 6000's

AWESOME! These shoes are AWESOME. Then again they are Saucony's. Offered in wide too, so very comfortable. A MUST BUY for looks or comfort.

Excellent Shoes Outstanding Service - The Shadow 6000 is the best fitting tennis shoe I have ever bought. I wear an 11.5 wide and have never experienced the kind of fit and comfort I get with this shoe. And on top of that, the service from Zappos was unbelievable. Not only was shipping free, they went the extra mile and shipped them overnight. No hassle. Excellent Service. Excellent Product. I'll be back!

The only thing that I dislike about this shoe is the light color. I run outdoors, as do many other people, and I find the white shoe is becoming dirty very quickly. I suppose you just have to keep in mind that if you use this shoe for outdoor running, you will have to buy another pair of sneakers, too. That is, of course, unless you like walking around in stained shoes.

Saucony , Shadow 6000 - Great shoe. I have been running in the Shadow 6000 since it came out and have tried numerous others, more expensive, and cannot seem to get the fit and cushioning that the Shadow 6000 provides. Unfortunately, it is not available in Canada anymore, so must have a friend ship them to me.

Great shoe felt stiff at first but got used to it. It's really ugly but what do you expect from running shoes?

Great shoe! I bought them as walking shoes and they feel like a cloud, love the breathable material--I truly recommend for those who walk a lot. Great running and walking shoe, also great for wearing as a regular sneaker with jeans they look great!!

Happy camper - Very comfortable shoe. Comfort is most important to me. I wore these shoes while on vacation in fl with my two 5-yr old children. The shoes greatly helped me keep up with the kids and also saved my legs while walking miles on concrete. Highly recommend.
