I hate to be the only reviewer, so far, who had a problem with these shoes. I tried them on, and they felt great! True to size and width, well cushioned, and supportive. I have problem feet and have had surgery several times. I tried them on at the end of the day (when my feet are really beat), and they still felt great. I wore them around the house that evening and decided they felt good enough to try for work the next day. I always wear shoes around the house for a few days before venturing outside, but these felt so good the first evening, I thought I had finally found my shoes. Sadly, the next day, my feet got progressively more sore and uncomfortable as I wore these shoes. It started in the left arch/inside ankle area (my usual trouble spot). When I took them off, my foot was throbbing, and even my toes hurt. On day two, I had the same exact pain in the right foot (not usually a trouble spot). By the time I gave up on day three, my feet hurt so badly that I was practically in tears. I called Saucony customer service to see if maybe these shoes needed a break-in period. Maybe I just over did it. They told me that their shoes are designed to be comfortable from day one and usually do not need a break-in period. Plus, any time that I have had to break in a shoe, it got better, not worse, with time. I used to wear the Saucony Integrity ST and did not have to break them in. Now, to the actual point of this review. The Saucony representative told me that this shoe is the update to the Triumph 8. The heel-to-toe differential has been lowered from a 12mm offset to an 8mm offset. That does not mean much to me, but any time an offset has been listed with a shoe I have worn, it has always been 12mm. The rep said that about 50 percent of the people who wore the Triumph 8 are having problems wearing the Triumph 9. I have never worn the Triumph 8, but I guess my feet are just used to a 12mm offset with other shoes. So if these shoes bother you, it may be the 8mm heel-to-toe offset.

Two things I look for in a shoe that are difficult to find are cushion and a wide to box (not a wide width). This shoe has both. Another combo I rarely ever find with those is flashy color but with this shoe I got all 3! Am ordering another color combo today.

I wish I could be more specific, but all I can say is that I love them. The fit is good. Great, but not too much cushioning in footbed, love the colors (turquoise). Helps get me out when I'm lacking motivation. All that, in a shoe! Toe box is on the wide side (good for me and, from what I hear, most women).

Love these shoes, very comfy and soft on the feet. Got about 300 miles out of them in 4 months. Buying second pair!

These are an awesome color; however, the insole did not have as much arch support as my other Saucony Echelons. Love Sauconys but probably shouldn't have paid the extra to get these.

Super comfortable, perfect walking/boat/summer shoes. Fits true to size. For those with wide feet, the wide size is perfect and so comfy.

Great shoes, although not comfy within the first week, but then your feet get used to the shoe as time progresses. Moreover, the shoelace provides you the choice of tightening or loosening the shoe to fit the width of your feet.

These shoes were comfortable upon the first wearing. I'm able to walk long distances (without socks) without rubbing or discomfort. They're attractive, too.

I ordered these thinking they would be fun for spring/summer and I love them. They seem to fit true to size, and are very comfortable out of the box.

I just got the gold metallic a/o 2 eye Sperry top sider today. I love them! The color is great. Not a bright gold and I suspect it could pass for silver in certain lights. This is my second pair of Sperry topsiders in recent years. They are so comfortable, it's like walking in slippers. At first my usual size seemed big, but when I tied the laces and walked around...they were fine. I have a narrow foot and these are some of the only shoes that fit me in a regular width.
