Saucony

Excursion TR17 GTX®

Women's

Saucony fits me really well, and these did. They seemed a little narrower in the forefoot than my road running shoes, but I think that was due to the reason I returned them: they are super stiff. There was practically no cushion to the insole and they felt more like hiking shoes than running shoes. The sole hardly flexed at all. I was planning to hike, not run, so I might have kept them if they were cushier, but the whole point of getting trail running shoes was to have something cushier and more flexible than a hiking shoe. This just kind of felt like wearing a box. Quality seemed fine.

No matter how much I love Saucony and I wear the Excursions religiously, I have to say I'm not loving my TR17's. The shoe itself is bigger and the toebox is so much wider. I put my 17's next to the 16s and they are giant. Totally different in size, I like the previous style, it was much lighter shoe all together.

Keeps my feet dry on mornings when the grass is damp. Ive had waterproof Keens and Hokas. Last time I found a waterproof sneaker style I liked was a North Face, but it didnt have the arch support I needed. As someone who has a lawn maintenance business, I wear my shoes 8+ hours a day, at least 5 days a week. Wish Id found these sooner!

I have an older version of these in the non-waterproof variety and love them so when I needed a waterproof shoe for my trip to Peru in the rainy season I was so excited to see this version of the shoe I already love. I truly needed no other pair of shoes for this trip between the airport, walking cobblestone streets, hiking, and biking. My feet got a bit wet from rain dripping into them one day, but stayed dry in puddles and walking around damp areas. When they did get wet inside they dried easily over night. They're comfortable and grippy and I'm excited to wear them trail running on dewy mornings come spring!

I am very happy with this purchase. They fit well and look good
