Dang, these run small! Normally I size up from an eight to an eight and a half when purchasing sneakers. The eight and a half was too small, so was the nine. I fear the nine and a half will be enormous overall but I'm giving it a shot. I'll let you know if they fit. Wish me luck. I love Saucony and obsessed with this creamcicle color.

I purchased a size larger based on the previous review. It was too big. Not only width but length. I don't see where it is made small at all. I am returning for the correct size. Very cute shoe! Can't wait to get it.

These are a little hard on the bottom, so I had to insert a gel insert for more comfort. However, not all inserts will fit as there is not enough room in the shoe. Otherwise, this is a great shoe.

I love these sneakers. Very comfy & the bright color orange, is just what I needed to make my work day just as bright! I have a foot problem that was told I needed better support and cushioning, & these sneakers provide just that! They did take about a week to mold to my feet properly, due to wearing the same style of sneaker for over 8 years. So these were a wonderful change. My feet are happy & so am I! I love Saucony.
Brands I'd also recommend: i also love the saucony jazz originals & low pro. also the bullets are nice for bumming aroung town.

This shoe is perfect for distance running. I run on average about 25 miles per week. Moderate support and not too heavy. It also looks good. I opted for the sherbet combo color and love them!

Awesome running shoes, I just wish I had ordered my true size. I ordered a 1/2 size up and they're a bit too big.

These are too narrow and short for my 9½ thick feet, but I still love the shoe. They are very comfortable, although they could use more heel cushioning. They are great for normal activity, but I would recommend going at least half a size larger for heavy activity to compensate for any swelling. I am happy with my 9½ and knew when I ordered that they may be a snug fit. I am ordering a 10 and know I will love them. You will too!

I was looking to replace my current Saucony running shoes and found these. Knowing that my first pair is a full size larger than my normal size, I was inclined to order the same for these. But, after reading the reviews, I only went up a half size. Too small! I love these shoes but just know that they do run small. If you like a little extra toe room when you run, order a full size larger. Loved the speedy delivery, too!

These are very cute and lightweight but they are way too small. I should have ordered a full size up instead of the half size up. I have a low foot volume, high arch and under-pronate but these felt like they might be OK for me in a larger size.

These are really cute. However they are not good running shoes. They are good for style and walking, but not for running.

I tried these shoes on in a big name store, but only Zappos had the size and color combination I wanted. As always, they arrived quickly, in perfect condition, and fit as I expected. I have a high arch and some problems with my toes and these shoes are the most comfortable ones I've found. Thanks Zappos!

I just came down with plantar fasciitis and bought these so I could wear some "cute" running shoes instead of my regular ones. I've worn Saucony forever (I switched shoes and got injured) and these, unfortunately, have no arch support. My Saucony Ride 4 supports my foot perfectly--these do not. If you need arch support I would not recommend these. If you want a cute, light shoe to cruise around in, they'd be okay. Not good running shoes, though.

Very comfortable shoe. Daughter got it for wearing on the pool deck. Runs small--needed a 9.5 for a usually 8.5 foot. A little narrow, but she feels likes the supportive fit. Very cute orange color.

I really love these sneakers. They are incredibly comfortable and feel super light on my feet. The breathability is superior to every other shoe I've worn, I can actually feel the air moving through the top/sides of the sneaker around my foot. I normally wear a 9.5 but bought these in a 10 and I'm glad I did, any smaller and my toes would be hitting the end. My arch is on the flatter side and my feet are quite wide and these are so comfortable. I get tons of compliments on the orange color as well.
