Customer Reviews Saucony Originals Bullet

These look cool but aren't as durable or comfortable as the Original Jazz or Low Pro.

The shoes is very comfortable and durable. However, the sizing seems to be off. I had to order a size smaller. Not a lot of arch support but it works fine for me. I like them and would buy again.

I love these shoes. Very comfy. However they get worn out pretty quickly. They also don't have a lot of support so they aren't great if you're planning to do a lot of walking

I am pleased with this purchase. Most notably, these shoes are extremely lightweight and have a thin sole. Will make excellent spring/summer shoes. Not much in sole padding but good around the heel. So far, I am pleased with them for the price and would purchase another pair in the future as well.

As I am wearing my shoes now, I guess this is the best time to write a review. These are definitely a great pair of Saucony. If you like the low profile, vintage look of these running/walking shoes, then you should get them. They are very comfortable, lightweight, stylish and alright good shoes. The only downsides are that the shoes are super bendable; which means you can feel any surface you walk on through the shoes and the suede-esque material on the shoes gets dirty very easily and will fade very fast. These have the quality of a less expensive shoe.

Great shoe but is a bit small for the size.

These shoes were so awesome....until they fell apart. Excellent fit, looks totally awesome on your feet like a slipper, but if you are wearing these shoes everyday everywhere, they are not going to last. It started with little tears in the fabric over the toes. I repaired the rips with a needle and thread. That’s where it got crazy. I now have huge vent on the tops of both shoes. Basically if you go casual one day a week, these are the shoes for you. If you are in a band on tour walking around cities and performing in these, they are going to fall apart, FAST!

Good looking but uncomfortable. I bought a pair of Bullets in the green/white style after buying a pair of Saucony Original Blazes. I knew Saucony's ran small so I ordered a half size larger, and the Bullets were still very snug. There's little arch support and after walking on concrete for an hour my feet were really sore. However, they look great and I get lots of compliments on them. These are a night out looking good with minimal walking-type shoe for me.

Fits like a glove - These shoes are a bit odd. At first, I hated them and was gonna send them back. Then I decided to give them a chance and found that they're not that bad. Do not purchase these if you like bulky, oversized shoes. They really do fit like a glove and even though they feel a little small, I can’t imagine wearing a size bigger because it would probably feel even more awkward. I've almost completely broken in these shoes now and I'd have to say that I like them a lot...just wouldn't purchase another pair.

Love Them - Got the Black and spring green. Great super light shoe. The first pair was a half size too small. Called Zappos and the new shoes were on their way. Might just have to get another pair.

Great low priced shoe - Great arch support - comfy - ran small - ordered a half size larger than normal. Like the colors - I might get more in different colors for summer.

Lasted 4 months - I really liked these shoes. I really thought I looked good in them, and they felt great until the last month I wore them. I wore them almost everyday. Just the day by day use of them lasted me 4 months with a tear by the heel and another at the toes. Although it was a relatively short life span for a shoe I liked them enough to get another pair. Not a Bad choice.

Very comfy and great! This pair is great. I had my eye on it and finally tried them on at a store. And they feel great. I have a pair of pumas and Asics and pretty much is a hybrid of shoes like those brands. Very thin. Good soul support and very light. I’m a bit worried on the thinness of it. So ill wear them extra carefully. Not where them EVERYDAY. To keep the shoe in its perfect form. I recommended this for sure!

Very happy - Was a little worried about the thin/flat sole style, but very comfortable shoe. Looks great as well. Arch support isn't the best but still feels good even on them all day long.

Excellent looking shoe, but a bit narrow feeling, and absolutely no arch support or cushioning. It is great when you want a nice looking shoe, but not so much when you need to walk around a lot.

Cool shoes... average comfort - Compared to Merrell, Ecco, or some other higher end brands, this isn't the most comfortable shoe, but it's not the least either. I would most likely buy another pair of these if I ran across another style that I liked.

Good look, not much comfort - These look great, but they're fairly uncomfortable. Also, they look good with shorts, but the shoes are tiny (they look/feel sort of like wearing women’s' shoes), so they look awkward with jeans that aren't skinny at the ankle.

LIKE A GLOVE - This was my second purchase from Zappos.com and man, are these guys serious. I ordered the shoes at 7p.m. and it arrived at my door at 4p.m. the very next day! I guess great service IS what powers Zappos.com. Anyway, this shoe fits like a glove. Its very comfortable, affordable, and easy on the eyes. The only problem I had was how thin the fabric on the shoe was, and how there appears to be virtually no padding for the toe area which makes waking over a graveled area a concern. It is, however, very stylish and did I mention comfortable? I know it’s like my other pair of Onitsukas, but this is another slice of comfort for the feet.

Eye catching and super light - Great service from Zappos by the way. These shoes are very light and fit well but make sure you order about a half size bigger than your regular shoes. They technically are vintage "running shoe-like" shoes.

Light, sharp-looking shoe - These shoes have a very low and slim profile. They look good, retro. They feel good and true to size. Be warned that the front half of the sole has virtually no padding. When I step on a even a pebble I can feel it. With that in mind, these are still good shoes.

I thought I'd use these for running, as I've had good luck with a minimalist running shoes in the past. I bought a 1/2 size up - turns out I should have gotten a size and a half larger. Good for casual wear, though. But I can't run in these at all. Far too snug. Do not buy these if you have wide feet.

The best way to describe Saucony Bullets is that they fit like a pair of wrestling shoes. Very snug, but not tight. Ultimate 81's are way more comfortable, but they don't pair nearly as well with the slimmer fitting pants that are so popular in man's fashion these days. If you buy these and are on the fence about keeping them (like I was), be sure and give them a few wears to make an honest assessment. They may actually win you over in time.

I'm literally puzzled how this shoe has gotten such high marks. While this is a very stylish shoe (cool color combinations and an interesting overall look), it is actually a running flat turned sneaker. As a running flat it offers little in the way of padding. It's an interesting feel at first, but you can feel everything on the ground as you walk. Some people may enjoy this... I was a fan initially because I did get into minimalist shoes this year. However, after a very short while, it just became a very uncomfortable shoe. I ended up replacing the original insoles with an old pair of SuperFeet that I had laying around which improved things some. Not only was this shoe uncomfortable, it was not very resilient at all. Within four months of moderate wear, it looked trashed (I had the white color). After 8 months, these are ready for the garbage. The only reason I actually kept them around so long was because they look pretty cool and go great with jeans. I'd recommend a pair of Asics or a different style of Saucony.

Comfortable sole, great design and color, but bad shape. The toe has an odd curvature that makes the shoe look deformed. It also ran narrow. A nice compact show that I wanted to like, but could not get over the tight fit and odd toe shape.

Great feel, but didn't last - I must preface this review with the information that I wore these shoes all day/every day and walk a good bit more than your average city-dweller: Very comfortable in a minimalist way (though I did remove the standard insole and replaced it with one offering moderate arch support). Shoes weigh almost nothing, feet are able to flex and breathe normally, etc. Essentially, all the benefits of being bare-foot, while still maintaining a barrier between your feet and the outside world (which is nice if you live in an urban environment or simply don't like the whole barefoot thing). However, they fall apart quickly. Within a week the nylon in the 'toe-box' area had ripped. I sewed it up with a canvas patch on the inside, but this has turned into a never-ending process of shoe repair (a DIY mentality frequently borders on pathology). When I finally covered the entire interior of the nylon (weaker) areas with patches, the shoes went through the outsole in the heel . . . now I slip all the time. Recommended if you like constant repairs (or buying new shoes . . .).
