    This shoe in size 12 is one full size smaller than marked. It felt like a size 11 shoe. Too, bad it is quite a good looking shoe. I could not recommend this style shoe because of the size difference.

    I ran 13 miles in these shoes the first day I got them. I prefer track shoes because they are so much lighter than running shoes.

    I have always worn Adidas sneakers and thought I would try something new. These are definitely a full size smaller. I take 7½ in everything, this will be my third order and will end up with an 8½ sneaker. I love the sneaker, but order a full size bigger than your normal sneaker.

    These are super comfortable. I did get blisters on my heels, but I usually do with new shoes. I love that the front isn't all mesh as I must run with toes up and usually ruin the mesh right away. These still look great even after a month of use!

    Racing Flats are the best shoes for training and running! I had a pair of XC3 and had to get these as soon as I saw them. They feel just as good and have a little more room! They are great for barefoot training!

    About Saucony

    of New Styles!

    Notify me when new styles of Saucony are added to the website

    Add This Brand to My Favorites
    In 1977, after many long years being kept a close secret, Saucony® men's shoes and women's shoes were recognized by a small group of serious runners and received an award given by a US magazine. Stemming from that day, Saucony® shoes and clothing have built a reputation for high quality and innovative technical performance for which it is known today.

    Four years later, the Saucony® Jazz O, the most popular Saucony (now Saucony® Original) shoe to be made, was launched and in 1991, offered a midsole comprising both cushioning and stability-GRID® resulting in men's and women's shoes that delivered a superior ride.

    At Saucony®, they exist for runners. Runners inspire them, bringing new ideas and force the Saucony® brand to be better inside and out. They are the inspiration behind the design and engineering of Saucony's best-made products. Runners keep them competitive, hungry and driven but mostly, honest.

    Whether in a conference room, or out on a lunchtime run, Saucony® employees are constantly talking about and arguing about their running clothing, shoes and accessories. They are passionate about their products and run in every product they make. This focus and passion fuels them to create the best Saucony® running pieces on the planet. And they keep an eye toward the future when producing Saucony® kid's shoes. Doing so allows them to come to work each day knowing they've done everything to make runner's lives, regardless of age, just a little bit better.

    At Saucony®, a good day is when they get to run. A great day is when they inspire someone else to run.

    I love these shoes! Lightweight and super comfortable. And they come with pink laces in case you want to replace the black ones (which I did; adds some fun pizzazz to the shoe). I'm a horrible runner, just trying to train for measly 5K with my daughter, but for me these are great. Based on other reviews, I ordered a full size up from my usual (ordered a 10.5 instead of 9.5) and they fit perfectly.

    My 12 year old daughter runs XC in these, and she's happy with them (loves the color, too). They do run small, even for flats. I found the same on mine; this is the only shoe I've ever run in at an 11. I bought mine for an occasional XC run and for CrossFit. Low drop and not over structured makes them great for CF at half the price of most CF specific shoes.

    I am not a runner but purchased these to wear when I attend Zumba classes and any other classes I attend at the gym. These are perfect as they are very light and allow my feet to breathe. I normally wear a size 8, but I ordered an 8.5; however, I had to exchange them for a size 9. Very rarely do I ever need to go up a shoe size, so these definitely run small! Zappos customer service is top notch; they quickly processed my exchange, and I'll be receiving the new pair in just 2 days. Love the color of these shoes too!

    Love the shoe. I use them for running and at the cross fit gym. They fit so much better than the big boxy type of running shoe. I did order 1 size up and thought they were to tight so I sent those back for an 8.5. I wish I would have kept the 8 these have almost to much room. Walk around inside for a bit they seem to almost stretch and conform to your foot before deciding if they are to small/big. I have not had any I-T band syndrome since running in these shoes.

    Love these Sauconys! It's a brand I always trust, and continue to do so with this purchase. Lightweight, comfie. The only advice I have is to follow the other reviews and buy a size (or size and a half) up. I usually wear an 8 but got these in a 9.

    These are great and the size was right, they're very comfortable and lightweight, and cute! I have a custom orthotic that I have to wear all the time, and that fit fine with these. Also they are all man-made so if you're looking for an athletic shoe with no leather, this is a good one.

    These are very cool shoes! I've worn Saucony running shoes for many years (like the wide toe box, excellent cushioning and support) but I wanted something lightweight that I could also wear for training. These are perfect, very light, very flexible and extra-cool colors (with even a change of shoelaces included). I do always get a half-size larger than regular shoes. And, as usual, they arrived about 2 seconds after I ordered them. Zappos remains supreme...

    I usually wear a size 11 but since I know some brands run small I decided to order a size 12. They fit perfectly. So my advice would be to order a full size up. The bright neon green is pretty cool looking. Also, the fit is comfortable and the shoe breathable. I rated it overall with 4 stars because although it is comfortable, it doesn't have a ton of cushion in the sole and the exterior is not very protective but rather breathable and mesh-like. It just depends on what you're looking for. But I'm going to use these shoes to just wear around. I probably wouldn't run in them though since they don't have much cushion for impact. I really do love the color.

    I just started running in October 2011 and it took a few sneakers to find what best worked for me. The Saucony Kilkenny XC4 is perfect. The shoe is very light. I normally wear a women's 11 but needed this in a size 12. I have a wide foot, but did not need a size wide. I am following the Galloway half marathon training and would highly recommend this running shoe.
