I have tried on several pairs of shoes and these are the only ones that my heel doesn't slip in. Had to order a half size up. Using my orthotic and they work great. Returned for another color.

I bought these because I love the Kinvara 1 and I thought these would be similar but with more cushioning. This shoe is indeed much more cushioned and is very comfortable in that way. However, the fit is different and I found it to be tighter in the toe box and rode higher on my heel in the back. This seemed like it would probably cause problems with blisters or irritation when I run so I am sending them back, very bummed, because they are very nice shoes. I bought my normal running shoe size.

I ordered these shoes for running. I love them! They are very lightweight and provide lots of support. I was a very dedicated Asics shoes wear-er, and I switched to Saucony because of a friend's recommendation, and I am very happy with my purchase! Expensive, but worth it! True to size too!

I bought these to replace my Nike frees, which I had put longer runs in, over 20 miles, and realized they were breaking down fast! These are pretty expensive so I was apprehensive. I ran in them a couple times before my 24 mile long run this past weekend. I am so happy! They fit excellently, their lower/neutral heel profile and forefoot cushioning is exactly what I needed. I need to add that I like a roomy toe box, and these have it. I am very relieved! Please keep in mind I had to order even larger than normal in running shoes for these, all my running shoes are 9½ and I had to get a 10 in these.

Great running or workout shoe. I have this shoe in the neon green and it's a great color, but the lower sole is white and gets dirty fast. My only suggestion would be to have a darker visible bottom. Other than that, highly recommended.

These shoes were so very comfortable and light weight right out of the box. I feel like I keep wanting to run in them. I bought a half size bigger as I usually do in running sneakers. My only problems with them is that they offer little arch support. My arches were aching and hot after the first mile. I had to put a pair of Mizuno innersoles in the shoe which have more of an arch to them.

This shoe is very comfortable out of the box and light. But it's not a neutral shoe. My arches were killing me after the first mile. They felt like they were on fire. They should offer more arch support.

I didn't buy them for running, but I do a lot of walking and it feels almost like I'm not wearing a shoe. Great neon colors, I bought the green and liked the shoe so much that I got the pink, too. Up till now, I had always went with the heavier type of Saucony athletic shoes, but I am glad I went with this one. Highly recommend this shoe if you do a lot of walking.

I had a pair of Progrid Kinvara 2's, which I loved, but they didn't last long (150-200 miles tops). I brought these out of curiosity, but I have to say I like the Kinvara's better (and they're cheaper) so hopefully these can redeem themselves by lasting slightly longer. On a side note, they have a really cool key pocket in the tongue. I've never seen that before.

I Love these shoes! They provide a little less arch than I need, but that can be adjusted. I love them. I love Zappos!

I love Sauconys and have worn them for years, however these run very small.I held them up to several other pairs of my Sauconys and sure enough they are smaller! This is an important consideration when your feet are already size 11 like mine...be advised. Love the shoe but do wish I had ordered up a size, not as comfortable as my others due to size but they look sharp.

I just got this shoe in yellow. I am so glad that Saucony is coming out with these neon colors. I already have the green and they're the lightest athletic, running shoe I have ever had. The price is a bit much, but it doesn't need breaking in. I had seen the orange color in the man's sizes and was so hoping it would be available in the woman's sizes too. It wasn't so I ended up with the neon yellow. Arch support is good, nothing I can say negative about this shoe. I notice that some go up a size. I found it true to size. I ordered it late last Thursday night and it was here the next morning. Can't beat that.

Great shoe, very light and supportive. I usually wear the Hurricane but decided to try the Cortana based off of the reviews -- glad I did!

Ran over 70 miles in them, including a 10 mile run, and am I ready to declare them the best shoes I ever ran in. When I decided to train for my first half marathon I discovered that my prior running shoes wouldn't cut it on long runs. Although I was getting professionally fitted, no one could predict the fit on a long run. 4 styles/brands later I started using the Cortanas and they continue to work very well for me. They are very different from the Nike Frees though. I couldn't run long distance in the frees. The Cortanas have more support and better cushioning. Or as someone said to me, they are like butter!

The cushioning in these Cortanas is amazing. I'm a heavy person and generally walk 3 miles per workout; I am falling in love with these shoes more every time I wear them. Not the highest level of stability but definitely the most cushion.
