Customer Reviews Saucony Originals Jazz Low Pro Vegan

I love the look and feeling of these shoes. The problem is they won’t last long if you wear them more than a couple times a week. This is my second pair, and just like the first pair I got about 12 months of use before the the color completely faded and threads began coming loose. If you’re okay with replacing them often then they are great shoes.

Colors are different than picture. In the picture, there is blue and grey, but the actual shoes are just grey.

Nice looking shoe, but warm. Its a short journey shoe, if you wear all day your feet may catch on fire.

Fit and finish are all fine; I've learned to order up a size for all sneaks, and that holds true here as well. I like the colors and materials, but am confused about how they make such a fuss about them being "vegan." Not sure my Nikes or Adidas are made of anything but plastic, rubber, and synthetic materials as well. One other reviewer did mention the lack of ventilation, and I notice that as well. There are no perforations to allow any air to pass through, they are a hot sweatbox. I like the look, so will keep them, but will for sure be looking at some odor eater insoles before long.

Looks great, but uppers wear quickly

These shoes are great in every way other than breathability. I don't run or exercise in these shoes and only wear them casually. There is absolutely 0 airflow and my feet sweat excessively in all climates. They are comfortable shoes from a sole and support perspective, but I rarely reach for them in my closet because they make my feet so hot.

Love the fact they are Vegan and I think they look great but they fell apart quickly.

I wanted to like these shoes, but they are not as comfortable as the original Saucony Jazz Low-Pro. They don't seem to be as well made as the versions with leather, and in person the components do not look high quality.

I love the look of this shoe, but the durability just isnt quite up to par for me. I returned 1 pair within a year due to a hole in the toe. My replacement pair is developing a new hole in a different place. However, for the price, they arent too bad.

We have owned 2 pairs for my 7 year old son. They look sharp on and he likes them but they last 7 weeks to the day (worn daily) with the toes ripping our just above where the sole meets the fabric.

Great-looking shoe with excellent comfort but poor durability. Visible holes started forming through the tops (with one rather large one forming on the left shoe) within 6 months, and support went from decent to non-existent by 8 months.

I've purchased multiple pairs of these sneakers, and they are comfortable but made very cheaply. They do not last long at all and start tearing apart and this is with moderate light use. I do not recommend that you purchase these. If you are looking for a better quality vegan friendly sneakers I recommend the Onitsuka Tiger by Asics. They are very comfortable, light weight, last longer and not to mention a better style ;)

I got these shoes because they looked cool, not because they are vegan. They look great and they feel good too, so if that is what you are looking for then these are the ones to get. If you wear them every day like I do then they might not be sturdy enough. The part that is canvas instead of suede started to fray really fast. Having dead cow in there sure makes a difference in quality! I ll take the dead cow any day. I have a pair of Saucony Originals that I literally grew out of before they broke. (Or they broke because I grew out of them!) I would recommend something that has a little more quality. Some things just need some animal product in it. I know I m going to get a ton of flak from this but who cares. They look awesome and feel great just don t last as long.

Comfortable, lasting support, mostly made of plant based materials or "renewables" that can breathe, one could wear it all day or for long walks and not notice it. Earth tone color goes well with jeans. While it has a great insole,midsole, outsole and all around comfort, it appears to fall short of quality when it comes to the upper side. It can tear in less than three months, which I wish could be addressed by Saucony.

Cool looking shoe but my foot is too wide and the lack of arch support made my feet ache immediately. Also, I wear a size 13. Maybe the smaller sizes fit better. I am returning these.

Had the Jazz vegans for almost a year. I love them, comfy, like the idea of no animal parts, but they didn't hold up that well. The inside fabric by my heel ripped fairly early on, and the toe is pretty shredded. Not sure the hemp or whatever it is can hold up against wear and tear of footwear.

These are great shoes, but they do not last long. They are very comfortable and easy to clean. I have had them 8 months and they are already falling apart. I wear them every day and expect my shoes to last at least a year, as all my shoes previous to these have.

Overall I like the colors and style of this shoe. If you plan on standing or walking for long periods this might not be the shoe for you. The base profile is nearly flat and has little to moderate arch support. Great price, good looks and moderate comfort make this a worth while shoe.

When these shoes were first delivered, I really liked the look. The fit was right for my size and width. I typically like a bit more arch support, but these are more than adequate. My problem, however, is the wear. I bought them because I walk during breaks at work. After less than a month of regular wear (ie: 45 minutes of regular walking per day) it became obvious the sole support was starting to soften along the outside of each foot from toe to heel. Now, I didn't pay much for these shoes but I am really disappointed the soles are starting to go after next to no use! You get what you pay for, but really...1 month?

I previously owned a pair of regular Saucony Jazzes (the ones made from animal parts), which I loved. When those wore out, I stumbled upon these and decided to give them a try. It wasn't a matter of ethics, mind you. I just liked their canvas-y look. Now, I knew vegans were missing out on all sorts of wonderful bacony, cheesey deliciousness, but I had no idea they also had to wear uncomfortable shoes. The cushiony soles of the regular Jazzes must be made of puppy blubber or something, because the difference in ride quality is night and day. I think the vegan soles are just stuffed with ground acorns. (Okay, they really aren't that bad, but they're a far cry from the cloudy cushion of their carnivorous counterpart). The one thing the vegan Jazzes have over their morally bankrupt sibling is the durability of the upper. The leather on my old Jazzes ripped way too early. This fabric upper is surprisingly more durable. These are fine. But if you're accustomed to the regular Saucony Jazz, know that these are a very different shoe.

I was really hoping these shoes would have worked out because I liked the style, amount of traction, and price. Unfortunately, the shoes cause my foot to pronate (i.e. ankles role inward). Additionally, I feel like the construction is poor. The heel cup looks like it is pulling away from the cushion/foam and when the shoe is sitting on a table, the shoe is resting on two spots on the sole, a bulge in the middle of the forefoot and the very back of the heel. I ordered a size 11 and the length was perfect. About my foot Size: In between a 10.5 and 11. Width: Slightly wider than a D, but a 2E feels slightly too wide. Arch: Moderate to high.

Great fit and feel, but if you plan on wearing them for any extended period of time expect your arches and feet to get sore. They don't have the long lasting support I was hoping for.

For some reason these are not as comfortable as the green ones I purchased a few months ago. Still like the shoes but they are not made to last very long especially if you are going to use them for running. Would not buy this color scheme again.
