These are cute and comfy shoes, but a word of warning--the tan/gold variety got VERY dirty very fast. This was with normal wear, and I tried really hard not to scuff them up. No amount of suede cleaner could fix the problem, so I had to limit their wear to around the house/walking the dog.

Comfortable, stylish, good for everyday walking and moderate jogging. Not a running shoe.

Cool sneakers, not as much a running shoe as regular Saucony - These are cool sneakers, but are not as versatile as the suede/cloth Sauconys I wore previously. Just not enough support to really run in regularly. I love the style and they are great for everyday wear. But I want a knock around sneaker I can run in as well. Next time, probably I will stick w New Balance 473s.

There Will Be No Better Running Shoe - For marketing reasons, companies keep putting out "the newest, latest, and greatest", but this is still the best running shoe (for pavement, gravel and some off roading) bar none. It has the optimal balance of variables. At the end of the day, a good running shoe has sufficient padding - it doesn't have to be the latest greatest air this or that technology to get you there, just anything durable to insulate impact. The Saucony Jazz series since its inception in the early 80's has the best padding/insulation from impact bar none. Furthermore, the shoe is light weight, so that good padding doesn't transfer into a cumbersome shoe.

The shoe is a true size (for 8.5) I love the style and the fact that it is extremely lightweight, with a very flexible sole. It has a comfortable arch support. My original purpose in buying was to wear the shoe for tai chi, which has worked very well. Floor contact is good, and the sole is soft enough to allow the foot to roll. It felt so good; I had to buy another pair for street wear. I'm waiting to see what colors arrive next!

Great sneakers! I was looking for a great vegan pair and this is it! Sturdy, comfortable and very durable. It’s hard to find vegan shoes that don't fall apart after some extended use. I feel like this pair will last a long time!

I ordered the grey/navy ones because during the summer months here in rural Alaska it gets pretty dusty and if I got a lighter color they would be stained. The shoes are comfy and the treads have good grip, and my only complaint is that I should have gotten a different color. They are a little too drab with the navy colored laces, if I switched up the navy with the white laces (they come with two different colored laces) it might brighten the look. Overall I like the comfort, just wish I had a different color.

Saucony Jazz are standouts in the retro sneaker world. They are shockingly comfortable and supportive, good looking, and have a wide toebox that allows for swollen feet after long days. The vegan version is the ultimate Jazz - they don't hurt our fellow mammals, the hemp canvas is highly breathable (and a renewable crop), and they look both instantly antique and quietly Zen. Now they just desperately need to offer more colors, starting with a natural indigo.

First of all the shipping speed was phenomenal. I was offered overnight shipping for free. Yes, I said free. These shoes are pretty much great for every occasion literally. I really tend to look forward to wearing these with everything that I own. I bought the navy/silver version and have to say that this shoe is also stylish but not tacky. I would highly recommend this shoe to anyone that just wanted an everyday shoe to do everything in.

These shoes are wonderful. I ordered them for a trip to Europe, where I would be doing a lot of walking and activity (And let’s face it, your basic flats or Chuck Taylor's won't cut it for arch support or long-lasting comfort). I love how they look (and apparently, so do other people). I like how light they are. They are close-fitting & allow movement, and are just darn good looking. The sole near the toes is relatively thin, which means you can feel what you're walking on (I kind of like this, personally). I would recommend ordering a half size UP. I would not recommend them as serious* running shoes. Definitely a great pair of sneaks though. Get them.

I love the shoes. The picture shown online was exactly how the shoes are. I had to buy a half size larger than normal.

These are the most amazing, comfortable sneakers I have EVER worn. I'm a hard to fit female (size 12 or 13 in womens) and these shoes are the best I've ever had. My feet don't look huge, they're cute, and I can wear them for days. And to make it even better, the price is great!

This is the fourth pair of Saucony Originals Jazz I bought for my husband (who is nearly 90 years of age!). They fit perfectly, are not too heavy on his feet and he feels safe and secure walking in these shoes. These will probably not be the last pair we buy from Zappos.

Super comfy right out of the box - I just got these sneakers and they are real nice and comfortable right out of the box...no breaking in required. Not too narrow in the toe area. Not the most arch support or bottom cushioning, but just enough for walking or working out. Best of all, no animals were harmed during the making of these.

Love the Saucony Jazz in red/white. Comfy. Cute. Sporty chic. They seem to run a half size large. I normally wear an 8, but the 7.5s feel great. Zappos' customer service rocks!

The new line of Jazz Low Pros has a great color selection and are very unique in their design. I bought both the Black/Blue and the Vanilla. They are very comfortable for every day wear, and are great for people with larger shoe sizes. They especially make your feet look smaller. Saucony's are the only brand of sneaker I now choose to wear.

I am a size 11 and I ordered a size 11, fit perfectly. Best running shoe I have ever owned and very comfortable if you are just wearing it out on the town. Stylish, yet versatile.

Great casual shoes! Comfortable for walking around all day. I wouldn’t wear them for serious athletic use, nor are they particularly elegant, but as someone whose main form of urban transportation is walking, I find myself eagerly reaching for these shoes.

Love these shoes! I bought them for a trip to Scotland - I wanted a pair that was supportive enough to walk around in all day, but still look fashionable and cute - these are the shoes! I added insoles, which I’d recommend for any heavy walking.

Really sweet shoes. First pair of throw-back Sauconys and love them. My metal-head friends make fun and say they look emo- but I disagree: Sauconys are definitely at The Thermals level. Very comfortable. Have worn to work on office days without censorious looks from senior managers. True size-don't seem too wide or too narrow. Love the blue ones I ordered and will definitely consider another pair next shoe shopping trip to Zappos. Am hoping for some new colors schemes in the future.

I love this style although some might just think they're ugly. They remind me of one of my first pair of running shoes: some old "Jazz" I got in 1990. That being said, they're very comfortable and feel like slippers. Not much support in the sides or arch support. But great knock arounds! Priced a bit high for what they are, but aren't all sneakers?

I bought these in green for jumping rope, since they were listed as cross-trainers. They work great for jumping, and also for any day when I'm going to be walking a lot. A woman stopped me on the street the first time I wore them out, yelled "SAUCONY!!", and gave me a thumb's up sign, so I guess these shoes have a wider fan base than I knew about when I bought them. Not too expensive, either!

Size runs a little small with the "Courageous", so I had to return the 8 and get 8-1/2. These breathe better than the Saucony "Jazz", and are almost as comfortable as the "Jazz". I like having both.

Love. These. Shoes. This is my second pair. These are the only athletic shoes that I have ever bought that never blister my feet. Even straight out of the box, they feel like they're already broken in, they're so comfortable. Love the red; it was a little strange to me at first, being used to white and grey athletic shoes, but the color helps them transition to regular clothes easily. These are great!
