My search is over...I transitioned to a fore front runner about a year ago and have tried no less than 6 pairs of running shoes. Too loose, too much stabilization, heavy, not enough pad support. Just never locked into the right fit. These Saucony's are the money. I have a narrow foot and they have real nice snug fit with just enough padding to feel comfortable. The soles have slight pads right at the pressure points in the foot and as light as a feather. Bought them last week and couldn't go for a run fast enough. I am elated with these. I'm buying another pair today.

It is a decent shoe with a short lifespan. I have used these as daily runners and after about 250 miles the midsole is so compressed that they're about to start causing blisters. I had the same problem with the Saucony Kinvara midsole wearing out. They fit small (like all racing flats). And the laces are particularly bad at staying tied. Not a bad shoe, but I'm not blown away won't be buying another pair.

These shoes are awesome. They are very light weight, like 1/2 pound a piece. I do not feel like I am wearing any shoes, and the comfort is liking walking on a mattress pad. These shoes are a must get.

I find that there were more comfortable than previous brands of track/running shoes that I have purchased from Zappos.com. The color scheme is awesome. Have you seen the chartreuse and blue yet? I cannot give accurate size fittings, as I have a wide foot and high arch.

This is my second pair of Saucony's. This pair definitely caters to narrow feet (I have size 13 wide) so at first they were a tad uncomfortable, but eventually conformed to my feet. I'm extremely flat-footed with almost no arch and these work well for me. They're very light, breathable, and comfortable; I even wear these out socially after a spritz of Febreze. For the money I don't think you could do any better.

About Saucony
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.

Just got these a few weeks ago and wear them anytime I'm going for a long run outside. For those long cross country style runs these feel great. However, when it came to running sprints these really started to hurt my feet and up into my ankles and calves as well. Didn't like the feel of them on the treadmill either. Definitely made my calves and knee's hurt, but then again I'm not exactly used to wearing a minimalist style shoe either.

This shoe is great. It is a spikeless track shoe and fits like a glove. The mesh uppers allow the shoe to breathe and the foot to stay dry and cool. I went to the new Nike store here in Dallas sand they had nothing to match the Saucony. I am a convert with the price, fit, quality of construction, the sole design, and the look. I constantly get "I like your new kicks". Zappos rules. Buy them today, wear them tomorrow.

These have become one of my favorite pairs of shoes. Cool, extremely lightweight, and very comfortable once they conformed to my feet (slightly wider than average so it took a couple days).

This, although is a terrific looking shoe, runs way too small...order two sizes up. No arch support...but okay for mat work, Zumba, or yoga. I returned these pronto, but Zappos offers so many styles, I found three more pairs I do like! Customer service rocks! Thank you Zappos!

I ordered these shoes without having worn or tried this brand before. The size I initially ordered was much smaller than my size in Nikes or other brands, and I had to switch up twice to find a fit - I usually wear size 10, and I needed an 11.5 in these! However, once I got the size figured out, these have been excellent running shoes. As with all racing flats, they don't provide much support, but they provide great traction and are incredibly light. The price seemed great as well. Overall, I would recommend them for experienced runners, with a caveat to be careful on sizing.
