Trust me...
I'm 77 years old and walk every day. These shoes have never failed me. I've had the same pair for 5 years now. My grandson can't believe I wear them, which means they must be quite stylish. Thanks very much...

I discovered Saucony Jazz Original shoes back in the early '90s. They are comfortable from the moment you put them on, they need no breaking in. They come in lots of cool colors and if you love the '70s vibe of these originals you'll love the style. Even though these are running shoes I use them for walking, I'm not a runner. They are my favorite shoes and I won't settle for less, #1 in comfort for me.

I was looking for a really comfortable walking, standing, hanging-out shoe that would also be very cool looking, and after reading rave reviews on the vintage Saucony Jazz Originals, I decided to try a pair in all black. Wow! Now, I know why people are raving. These are the most comfortable athletic shoes I've ever worn -- they're soft, cushy, and really easy to get on and off. Walking in them will be a dream. I wear either 11 or 11 1/2 depending on the maker, but usually 11 1/2 in athletic shoes, so I tried that size, but they were snug in the toe box and also measured short compared to my Nike Air Relentless 11 1/2's. I sent them back and got the 12s, and they are a perfect, super-comfortable fit. I know many people say they run true-to-size, but, for me, they were at least 1/2 size small. And, in fact, when I put the Saucony Jazz 12s next to the Nike Relentless 11 1/2s, the shoes were identical in size. But you can easily go larger in the Jazz, as they somehow make your feet look smaller. In any case, this is a perfect shoe for cool weather, but in our warm months here, I'm switching to the "all white with silver logo" Nike Air Relentless, which was a perfect fit in 11 1/2. By the way, my wife tells me all-white and all-black are hot fashion colors now, which is what prompted me to dump my gray New Balance 991s and hip up. And I have to say, the all-black Saucony Jazz Originals, which come with both black and red laces, are very cool looking!

I love these shoes, but I consider them casual shoes instead of athletic shoes.
Even if you have wide feet, give these a try. These shoes are significantly wider than a 2E New Balance Classic. I wear 4E, and while I wish these shoes were wider, they're wide enough for me.

This is a tough one... I have been buying the Saucony Jazz original for years. They were always right, you could count on them just like death and taxes. I'm not sure what's happened but the last year or so the fit has changed. They are very inconsistent, I find them now to be slightly narrow and low at the vamp. It's a bummer. They still look great but the fit is concerning.

Great shoe. Comfortable! I however, like to sometimes go without socks. Can't do that with this shoe. Wore them twice without socks and they were smelly right away. Wear with socks!

I think I've gone through around 14 pairs of black Saucony Jazz Originals in my life (so far). Nothing else feels right on my feet!

Comfy and cozy, pair well with jeans and a hoody for a relaxed but not sloppy joe style. Got them for my hubby, and have a pair of Jazz pros myself. We both had to go down a half size from our norms. He is a solid 10 1/2 and I am for sure 7 1/2, and we both went for 10 and 7 respectively.

I walk all day, and stand on concrete floors. I have tried all types of shoe and this by far is the best for that. They are lightweight and offer a lot of support. my only beef with these shoes are the color schemes. I wish you could design your own shoe colors Saucony.

I use Saucony for my running shoes already. These bad boys are for casual, walk-around time. I also work in a warehouse so I need cushioning. These shoes have what I need. I'll order some more pairs in other colors. If you are already familiar with Saucony you won't be disappointed.

They are exactly like the originals that set the standard, at least in my world, for cushy, comfortable shoes.

I ordered these in my normal size, which is 9.5 USA. but then I had to get them changed for a size 10. It turns out that these shoes stretch a little so I should have stayed with the 9.5 shoes.

A classic old school running shoe! I bought them to wear as a causal shoe with jeans, shorts etc. you will not find a more comfortable shoe! I rated it 5 star for comfort but it there was a 10 star I would have picked that!

If you've never bought a pair of Sauconys in your life, I highly recommend it. They're comfortable, easy to get on and off, light as air, and durable as well. My last pair lasted through a year and a half of walking around three different cities throughout the seasons. Reebok has a similar style of shoe that delivers a very close comfort experience, but it's hard to turn down the style and selection Saucony has to offer. Zappos did great with this order, as always. Shipped very quickly and as ordered.
