Very, very inconsistent sizing...
Bought my usual saucony size (8.5), they arrived and were so tight they felt like 7.5.
I exchanged for a 9, which I feared would be too big, and they were! Way to big.
I was convinced the original pair had been incorrectly sized and decided to reorder and hope for a different pair of 8.5.
The second pair of 8.5 fit.
So, you may have a lot of trouble finding the right fit in this style. Very different from my many other Sauconys.

Can't beat the price on these puppies but they aren't as comfortable as I hoped they'd be. They have no arch support and are a little stiff at first. I switched out the insoles and they're more comfy now. Overall, good shoe for the price. I dig the style- glad I kept them.

These DEFINITELY run a half size too small. I've always fit into size 9 shoes but I'm gonna have to exchange these to get a 9.5!

Shoe is pretty much comfortable but doesn't offer that much arch support. It also may feel a little wide if you don't tie your shoes all the way. But over all Stylish and comfortable

I purchased these after buying and loving a pair of Saucony Original Bullets. These are quite a bit more bulky and the sole/heel is quite a bit thicker. I wear a size 12 in women's and felt like these made my feet look pretty bulky. The color (red) was great and the size fit well, but back to Zappos they went. If you're looking for something a little less bulky, get the Saucony Bullet instead.

Comfortable and lightweight. My big toe often pokes a hole through the top ends of sneakers - that has not happened with these shoes, after a year of wearing. Overall 4 starts because I would like a bit more padding in the sole. Great value for the price though.

My feet are funky. They don't stink, they just are falling apart by way of bunions and Plantar Fasciitis. However, I love shoes of course and so I might add that I kind of abuse them by choosing to wear shoes that win in the looks department but not in the comfort.
I would be happiest in Birkenstocks but c'mon.
The Shoes are super cute with a retro vibe. They have a pretty big chunk on the bottom so gives girls like me a little lift I can always use. As for comfort, their flat and that's a plus, they have decent support, however they do not really conform to my foot. Maybe they need to be broken in more...

Loved them except that they came up a little too high in the back and were rubbing my heel... the low pro version (also on zappos!) was much better.

These shoes are super cute and versatile. I wanted to love them. Unfortunately, the lack of support is a real problem. They include standard cushioning, but no arch support at all. As a result, my feet end up hurting if I wear them for any length of time at all. Bummer!

Love the shoe. Problem is it came with white shoelaces laced into shoes....but only ONE black shoelace in the box to change up the look. I definitely like the black laced look better! Only gave 4 stars as these were obviously a return & not checked well before sent out again.

I loved the look of them online, but when I received them it seemed like laces started too far up the foot and the sneaker tongue puffed up by the top of the foot like a little bubble I couldn't make go away. They are super comortable, but I didn't like how puffy the sneaker tongue was so I decided to return them for a different style Saucony sneaker.

After reading the reviews I expected these shoes to be a lot more comfortable. I purchased them for work because I am on my feet all day, but my feet are sore by the end of the day. There is a lot of cushion outside of the shoe but not inside. Having said that, they are much better than other shoes at this price point. I usually wear a 7, but went up a half size.

Just got a pair of the black and silver model. I have worn them for a few days now and can say they are quite comfortable. The ankle is cut high (or they seem so to me) which took some getting use to. This model has only the white sole, wish had came in a two-tone like some of the other colors.

I have another pair of this shoe that I purchased several years ago. The quality of the shoe is premium, however with this pair the sole/padding inside is really stiff and there is no arch support. I usually wear 8.5 in tennis shoes and this one fit perfectly. Returning because the padding inside is not as comfortable as expected.

Felt true to size. I have a high arch and this did not have any arch support. So sad. Loved the color. Heel pad hit me wrong.

Felt a half size small. I'm going to return them for a half size up. Very cute style and great color options.

These shoes were just what I ordered. The fit was good and the comfort was as expected. The only thing the color was not as bright a blue as shown. This didn't bother me to much. The rest was great so no real complaint.

I love these classic sneakers. Very comfortable. I can throw them on with almost anything. I normally wear a size 9 women.I ordered a size 9.5 because the reviews said so... But the 9.5 is big. I could have ordered my regular size, as would have fitted true to size!

These shoes are adorable and oh so comfy! For some reason I didn't expect the sole to be so thick on the bottom but I don't mind it at all. I have high arches and could use a bit more support in that area but aside from that they are wonderful. They come with white and navy shoe laces so you can switch it up if you'd like. They run true to size and are a great casual shoe.

I first bought Saucony's Jazz Original many years ago and I am still wearing them. Hands down, they are the most comfortable shoe I've ever owned. They are narrow in the arch and wide in the toe box -- perfect for most feet. I ordered new ones in the same size. Wearing the same pair of socks that I wear with the old ones, I found the new pair to be too narrow in the right foot toe box. I ordered another pair in the same size and found that one was too wide and the other true to size. Between the two new pairs, I was able to take one shoe from each to form a pair that fit. But a customer shouldn't have to do this (and it costs twice as much). Where these are made, quality control is sorely needed so that every pair is made exactly to spec. That said, they are still the best sneaker out there. Comfort plus and still cool.

Can't really say much, these were a gift. Daughter-in-law seemed to like them. I thought they were a very nice color, and looked well made.

This is my second pair of these shoes. They are really comfortable and, in fact, almost seem to cradle my feet. Their only negative is that when the soles are wet they squeak loudly on hard surface floors. Have had other shoes that do that so is not a problem.

I had a pair of these a long time ago and remembered them being super comfortable. Lately I think my feet have been changing because I've been having a difficult time finding comfortable shoes for 12-13 hour shifts at the hospital. For me, these shoes were not comfortable right out of the box. I think I have what's called tailor's bunions and the shoes pinched my feet there and caused pain. After loosening the laces as much as possible and wearing them for a couple of weeks they are pretty comfortable now. As far as the look of the shoes it gives added height and personally I think they are pretty darn cute (gray and green).
