Customer Reviews Saucony Originals Jazz Original

I have a pair of Saucony Bullet that I really love, but I didn't think they would be comfortable enough to walk around amusement parks with kids all day. So I purchased these Saucony Jazz Originals because of the thicker sole. They are very comfortable for the short time I've had them. The amusement park test will happen this spring. I do feel that they are not exactly true to size. If I had ordered a half size larger, I could wear thicker socks for winter wear. The size I ordered just fits with a thinner summer weight sock. That is the only negative I have.

First off I love saucony shoes! I usually go for the same style but decided to try these for a change. They are cute but the comfort level is just not there for me. I have picky feet and the soles in these shoes don't cut it for me.

These shoes are super cute but they had no arch support at all. I have very typical feet with no extra considerations, but my feet did not feel supported

I bought these shoes for a trip to Disneyland. Unfortunately, it rained and these shoes are extremely slippery on most surfaces. They have zero tread and zero grip. I slipped once on a regular brick walkway, and had to be careful stepping into stores after a rain. They also aren't as comfortable as I expected based on the reviews. I have flat feet, so although the shoes are cushioned, they don't provide the support needed. These shoes are definitely cute, but I think that's where it ends.

Look, I absolutely love the look of these. But, the insoles are horrible. They are so cheap that they wear out in about four months. I thought I was wearing the shoe itself out until a shoemaker told me me to buy insoles. So do that, and enjoy your Sauconys!

These shoes are cute, stylish and most of all, make my size 10 1/2 boats look like size 8s! Sadly, despite all this cool stuff, I'm returning them because they do not provide nearly enough support for my feet. These are for sure just "fashion" shoes, not actual athletic shoes. However, even though I only wanted them for knocking around, I am used to extremely supportive/motion control shoes such as New Balance due to a foot problem. This felt like I was walking on a little piece of styrofoam. The shoes are extremely lightweight. That could be great for some - just not for me. Snif! Wish they had worked out better!

Saucony, what happened? This used to be the most comfortable sneaker. It felt soft but structured. I just bought another pair and it felt like hardened rubber. Too bad. I love the colors and wanted a new pair.

Great looking shoe. However, after a few hours my feet really hurt. These shoes have no cushion at all. I am going to have to get some inserts and see if that helps. I have bought Saucony previously but I will not be buying these again. Not comfortable.

Not as comfortable as they used to be and the insole is loose, not glued down. Well made shoe, I'm just disappointed. Used to be the most comfortable shoe I ever put on my feet, no more.

Overall I like these shoes except for the fit. I'm a size 6 but when I got them, there's about an half an inch of space in the toe area. If I were to wear thicker socks, then it's not an issue. I know better next time I buy from this brand.

Before this pair, I had ordered a gray/orange ones and they fit so well. But this particular pair something about it, just not feel right.

I got these on the recommendation of my podiatrist, who suggested that Sauconys have a wider toe box than the average shoe. After trying these on, I disagree. They pinch my little toes. Also, the actual shoes are not as cute as the photos - in real life they are really quite clunky and boxy-looking. Back they go.

Cute shoes, awful support. I'd return them if I hadn't worn them around already. I'm trying arch supports to balance out the overpronation these shoes create, but if you have flat feet or a tendency to overpronate at all I'd recommend against these shoes.

Having been a New Balance Classics wearer for years, I wanted to try another brand when I needed a pair of walking shoes. These were disappointing. When I first walked in them, they felt fairly pillowy due to the fat sole, but the shoe appears to be made of cheap materials and the quality of the sole really showed when I wore these for a 10k walk. My ankles were killing me afterward. These are not made for long amounts of walking. You're better off getting New Balance if you need a quality walking shoe.

Thought they'd be cute work shoes. They turned out to be too narrow for me. They are also not cushy like I thought they would be. The sole was flat and not soft. Also, the sole felt pretty slippy so probably not the safest for work. All that being said, if they had fit, I probably would have kept them for work.

I returned these shoes since I had already ordered and worn a pair in a different color. The tread hinders my walking fast. I love the color though and as far as a comfortable shoe it is great if you aren't walking fast like I do. Oh, and one more thing...they seem taller than regular shoes.

Well, I gave these shoes a 3 because of the tread. I thought I liked them bunches until I went for a walk. I like the cushioning but the tread on the bottom is a hindrance and I can't easily pivot my foot. The upper is very nice...no thorny places; the only problem I have with them is the tread.

Fit is great. I was disappointed in the color. I expected to be jet black and the color outdoors is off black around the suede parts of the shoe. What a bummer.

The shoe felt a 1/2 a size smaller. It actually looks smaller than the Saucony style that I've always ordered in my standard size. I'll be returning them.

I read the reviews and purchased. Good points: They're cute shoes, lots of colors, 2 sets of shoe laces. As for comfort, it's okay. It has plenty of padding for the heel but the ball of the foot needs some more padding. Kind of disappointed, but I wore them out so I can't return. I just need a Dr. Scholl' s in it and it'll be fine for walking!

Much lighter gray nylon and suede. Very disappointed with color in person. Stains immediately visible and materials looks cheap. Different than my previous pair of red ones I bought. I hate when brands change quality according to vendor. Still comfortable and true to size. The are not very breathable! Be aware sweaty feet!

Okay for the price. I guess you have to hit on the right color combination, but the black/silver are pretty ugly and cheap-looking (and cheaply made) to me. I needed something more supportive than Converse Chucks and got these in an emergency to wear as a casual, around-town type of sneaker. Though they are reasonably comfortable with some cushioning and gentle arch support, they don't have the look that I wanted. Instead of old-school cool, they look cheesy. The all-white platform is too bright for my taste. Of course, this is all in the eye of the beholder, and some colors I think might work out better than others. More objectively, the nylon on the upper creases unattractively when I tie the shoes to fit my narrow feet. I suspect the "women's" and "men's" versions of these shoes are the same and that it's fine to cross over as long as you can figure out your size. If I had seen the charcoal/red version in the men's section, I would have gotten those instead of the black/silver. Some of the colors in the Low Pro style look more promising too, but I suspect those are a less-supportive shoe. I bought my usual sneaker size (a 9, I'm an 8-8.5 in a dress shoe) and they fit fine.

Comfortable for inside wear - Saucony shoes were once a favorite of mine when I was younger and it has been a pleasure to rediscover them. I liked them then because there is plenty of room in the toe box and they still offer that plus. Though these shoes do not offer the strong support necessary for long walks or longer hours at work, they do offer soft comfort for shorter destinations and times.
