I was looking for a casual sneaker when these caught my eye. I usually wear a 9-10 depending on the brand, including owning a pair of Saucony running shoes, but I needed to go up to a 10.5 and maybe a 11 would not have been too big, both from a width and length perspective. In any case, these are very light and flexible, akin to Nike Free shoes; however I don't recommend athletic endeavors in them. I love wearing them and like their look. I wish I hadn't worn jeans whose color ran onto the shoes, but oh well. I would recommend these to anyone interested in a fashionable casual sneaker.

Very comfortable shoes overall. The lightweight construction allows the feet to breathe better than most other shoes. Only downside is the lightweight sole when riding a bike; the pedals tend to bite in a bit more than other shoes. Not a bad thing, just a little different.
I can't give these shoes a free pass. If you are not an experienced runner who knows how to run on your mid-foot, these shoes will probably not be comfortable for you. Yes, I like the style (green on white), but know what you are getting into before you buy; I should have taken some of the cautionary warnings about how little protection these shoes provide into account before I purchased. In conclusion: I will wear these shoes out, but will not re-purchase.

This are some sweet looking shoes and are fairly comfortable. There isn't a lot of padding or arch support, but they are so light and form to your foot so well they feel like a slipper. I have narrowish feet, these fit me well and seem true to size. The shoes come with both grey and orange laces so you can keep them low key or make them a little flashier. The construction doesn't seem to be super durable, not that anything has fallen apart after a few solid days of wear, more of just a general first impression. They were absolutely comfortable right out of the box.

What a cool shoe. Very comfortable. I wear them all the time and haven\'t had an issue of any kind. They are true to size and width. Perfect.

The size of the sneaker ran a little smaller than I had expected. Normally, a 10 fits my foot perfectly allowing for additional space. This one, however, does not.

These were my fave walking shoes for 3 months - perfect on the hard hospital floors at work and on the street. Great fit, great style and comfort. Always get lots of compliments on them, too. The downside: the nylon fabric is quite thin and a hole wore in the top from my toe, right where the nylon meets the suede trim. Granted, I have walked many, many miles in these shoes, but 3 months is a short lifespan for this much money. I've had the same happen with a pair of Onitsuka Tigers, but not in such a short span of time.

As a casual shoe, this is the one everyone should have in their closet. For most people, size up 1/2 your regular size. However, for small-footed guys like me, this is a PERFECT FIT. Could use some arch support (since there is NONE), but otherwise this is an excellent shoe!

Great look, but terrible comfort -
I loved these shoes when I saw them, but had a change of heart when I put them on. You can feel every bump, rock, crack, even blade of grass that you walk over. Wish they were comfortable b/c I would love to wear these all of the time.

Awesome shoe!
I was kinda weary of getting these, but I needed a comfortable shoe and I like the retro look of these. I'm glad I got them because they are indeed comfortable. The fit reminds me of slip-ons, which is what I usually wear. Basically a snug fit without very much shoe. I like the slim style. They aren't big and bulky at all, but they're WAY more comfy than slip-ons are. The soles are removable, too, so if I need to get something better for walking around (I don't think I will though), I can. Excellent shoe for the price.

Stylish, low pro. Slightly more blue than pictured. Narrow, good for me. Not much sole in front of shoe, but it is a track style. In conclusion, I dig 'em.

Style over comfort -
The shoe is fairly comfortable, but the comfort does not outweigh the way they look. They are a light shoe and nice for running. If you have feet problems I would refrain from purchasing them, but overall it is a very nice shoe.

Very Comfy Kicks -
I was a little leery when I first got them that they would be too narrow and flimsy. I have big and wide feet. I can say now that they are very comfy and have given me no problems at all. They look great and are great for kicking around town or chillin’ at the house. Thanks Zappos!

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!

Beautiful shoes, don't last -
I love Saucony shoes, and the Bullet has a great, leaner profile. The black/burnt orange color is really gorgeous! However, like the reviewer below noted, the nylon upper goes FAST. Just normal wear has left the nylon shredded within a couple months. I have never seen a shoe, never mind a sneaker, wear through so fast. A real tragedy, I loved these shoes!

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 . . .).

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.
