Customer Reviews Saucony Originals Jazz Low Pro Vegan

These are extremely comfortable shoes. They look great out of the box. But! Mine have worn out after less than 3 months of casual wear. The canvas on the toe of the shoe has torn without any good reason. They also have discolored very quickly, going from a pleasant light blue to dirty gray. SO... I can't recommend them due to durability problems.

I've owned two pairs of the Jazz Vegan shoes. Unfortunately the first pair wore out in the corners of the toe within 2 months. Saucony replaced the pair and the new pair wore out in the exact same fashion. I like Saucony, but these shoes seem to have a defect in them, or they're just not meant to survive long.

These shoes look as good in person as they do in the pictures, and I've gotten a lot of compliments on them! They seem well built, and have ridiculously good traction wet or dry. But there's a lot wrong with them. The two colored laces look cool in the photos, but I can't make sense of them in practice. The lower and upper laces are the same length, meaning that when you lace them up as shown, the leftover ends are drastically different lengths. So you can't tie them together in one knot, and even if tying the two laces separately and having two knots on each shoe didn't take twice as long and look lame, the top laces are so long you end up stepping on them. On the other hand, the laces are almost too short to go all the way up with one color, though they've stretched in the two weeks I've owned them and I'm getting used to tying tiny knots. I can't figure out what Saucony was expecting we'd do with double laces, but if you feel like re-stringing them occasionally, I guess you can use one color as a spare set. I suspect Saucony has changed insoles since the other reviews and the product description were written. There's little arch support, and the included insoles are quite hard and don't yield at all to the shape of your foot. There is no cushioning in this shoe! The fit mostly feels accurate, except that my heels slide around a lot as I walk, which is unbelievably irritating. It feels like I'm stepping off the side of the sole if I'm not on perfectly level ground. These are not walking shoes, much less "retro runners" as described, and anyone who gets around mainly on foot, or stands a lot during the course of the day, should avoid them. This week I walked a couple of miles two days in a row. At the end of the day the soles of my feet were burning just from the constant pressure of the hard insoles, and today I'm actually limping from the shooting pain in my right foot. I'm really unhappy with the comfort aspect. I'm used to walking 10+ miles once or twice a week and standing all day at work. I bought these to replace some great Puma running shoes that I walked the soles right off of, and in that regard I am very disappointed. They look great, and if you spend most of your day sitting and driving, you might be happy. I may be able to fix them with better insoles, too. But if you need something functional right out of the box, buy something else, or expect injured feet.

Make sure you know what vegan means. All cloth uppers (canvas and hemp), even inside of shoe is sewed. Very minimal arch support if any.

They look great but they are a cheaper construction than other Jazz. The mesh like top construction grew a hole very quickly. I've been a long time Saucony buyer and really work these shoes. These did not fit the bill.

The Jazz Low Pro Vegan is a great shoe for comfort, however the top fabric (above the toes) of these shoes wears out quickly. Within a few months, there was a hole in the left shoe. I have had two pairs. I bought the second pair thinking that it would not happen again. I have a pair of Simple brand fabric shoes that are much stronger and have not worn out as quickly.

Love the style and comfort and that they are vegan. But I\'ve owned two pairs now and within six months a hole starts to appear above my big toe. Never had that happen with any other shoe and would have thought the hemp would have been stronger.

These shoes came to me with animal hair weaved through the fibers of the shoe, a sole that may be crusted with feces - best case scenario: mud, and semi-well worn. Super gross.

these held up for about 14 seconds before they started developing tears in the toe box and around the sides. disappointing that this is what saucony's vegan offering is, but it is what it is. will not be purchasing these again at any price.

Destroyed upper after two days

never tried on. not the same as the picture. noticed the "disclaimer" too late

I liked the style of the shoe and Saucony's I've purchased in the past have almost always been comfortable but these kill my heels. I assume it has to do with the way the sole is constructed into triangles but it hurts to the point that I can't wear them and I've never had this issue with any other shoe.

Don't believe the size was right. Suppose to be a 13w. I think it might have been an 11 narrow.

fit was extremely tight. Maybe 2 sizes too small. Width was very narrow. Wanted a 'd' and I think they were a 'b' or 'c'.

To big

Looks good, but lacks the regular cushioning that Saucony shoes usually have. After 10 minutes of walking, both shoes started rubbing against my pinky toes and caused blisters. I advise against these unless you have really flat feet.

You sent the wrong shoe. This was not the navy but a grey and blue color shoe. I am ordering it again with hopes I get the right one.

These are very uncomfortable, and too small both in width and length.

I just received my shoes today and thanks for the fast shipping. I was taking the the shoes out of the box and put the right shoe on. I looked down and there is a brown stain in the toe area. I attached a picture of the shoe that shows the brown stain. Is it washable?
