These seem like they could be okay, I really love them. But the left shoe looks as if the mid part is sewn sideways, therefore making the shoe look very different than the right. Plus the fabric kind of pulls when you tie them. Definitely casual shoes, I couldn't imagine doing any type of activity in them.

Forgive the banality, but meh. I fought hard to overcome my aversion to looking like a 90's granola kid and ordered these, mistakenly relying on all the reviews touting their comfort. I failed to take into account that granola kids are unwaveringly sanguine folks and are not negative about anything except, like, factory farming and SUVs. These are kind of comfortable but they feel cheap. They seem decent, but they probably wear out quickly. If you love the look, go for it. If you do not, keep on trucking.

Not for everyone. Some call them ugly, but I thought they were cute. I was disappointed that there was no arch support--something my feet need. Not for me, but if you like the look and don't need an arch support, it seems like a good deal.

I have a wider forefoot and thinner heel. These were too wide even for my forefoot, and they had little arch support. Super cute, but they had to go back.

I have this sneaker in almost every color from last year. I love them. But the 2014 version has changed and I am sending these back. The material is a silky, mismatched color on the shoe. The width is narrow in the toe box which doesn't work for me. I am upset that Saucony would screw up such a great sneaker. Not that easy to find really nice vegan shoes.

I tried the black/dark grey/red in size 11 (about my usual size). They were a little large, but not so much that I thought I could go down any. They felt a bit tight and loosened up slightly with about 10-15 minutes wearing, but not enough for me to keep them. Started to make my heel slightly sore around that time as well. Style was ok, pretty close to what I expected. Even though there is no arch support, they are a little soft and squishy which helped make them a little more comfortable than some other flat shoes I've tried. Kept my feet a little warm, which could get uncomfortable after some time - particularly in the summer.

I liked the style, it reminded me of some older New Balance shoes I used to like but lost, but not comfortable at all. The worst part was the back of the shoe was really high so it would rub against the back of my ankle. As a casual lounging around shoe, I'm sure it's fine but if you plan to do any walking (due to lack of support running is out of the question with these) don't buy these.

Meh. Yes, they are super squishy and comfy and "feel like slippers!" right out of the box, but that squish doesn't make them very good for any real walking. These started showing significant sole wear after just a week of walking around San Francisco. If you pronate, look elsewhere, as these (and the regular Jazz) will just exacerbate that. The insoles are removable, but even with Sole brand orthotics these just didn't work for me. They are pretty cute, though, will make your feet look a couple of sizes smaller, if that's a concern, and are cheap.

I've been looking at these for awhile now. I ordered 3 pairs of sneakers; saucony and 2 pair of new balance. I kept the saucony because they felt the best and I liked the neutral color of the gray. I really liked the new balance but they were too little. In the end, I really wish I would have returned them all and got a bigger size in the new balance or a smaller size in the sauconys. I usually wear a 7.5 or 8 and I got the 8 but the saucony shoes were a little long. Of course, I didn't realize how big they felt until after I wore them outside. Lesson learned,I guess. I suggest going down a half size from your normal sneaker size.

Agreed that it was a tad orthopedic or wide/puffy looking for larger feet like mine. It would probably be cuter in a smaller size for someone with a narrower foot. It did feel comfy but my kids nixed the overall style and orange color, so I returned them.

They have a comfortable sole and soft side except for the bulky padded thing in the back of the shoe that digs into the back of the ankle.

I love Saucony sneakers. I got my first pair 4 years ago and recently had the finally throw them away. The color on these looked faded, which made me think that when they are really old, they would look that much older due to the prior faded look. I like to keep my sneakers for a while, the faded color of these sneakers just didn\'t fit my plans. I really miss my green pair.

This shoe was not as cute as I thought it would be from looking online. I bought it because I liked Asics Tigers and this came up as a similar item. Not nearly as slim, breathable, or trendy. I sent it back without even trying it on. Got 2 pairs of tigers instead.

I love the shoes, but when I got them they had glue all over the suede part from when the sole was glued to the shoe. You can see the excess glue all along the sole. I wanted to exchange them, but only found directions on returning. I have them, but haven't worn them yet. The shoes were shipped very quickly and I had no issues with the service from the company, just wish someone looked at the shoe before they were sent.

I bought a pair of the Saucony original jazz earlier, and had liked them, but thought they’d be more comfortable with a thinner sole, so I bought these (in navy, very cute color). I wasn’t too impressed with the actual product. The shape of the sole seemed to force my foot to pronate, which was uncomfortable, and the lack of support around the ankle combined with the thick but narrow sole made it easier to sprain my ankle. What annoyed me the most, though, was the toebox. The right shoe had an irregularity in the toebox right out of the box, and both shoes developed "caved in" spots around the toes after a couple days of use. Mostly I wasn’t doing anything rugged in them, just walking from class to class across my school’s campus. However, I did play a small game of pick-up soccer in them one day, which may have contributed to the problem (though my other pair which I didn’t treat as roughly ended up the same way). On a positive note, the fabrics which the shoes are made of are really great; soft, fun to touch, flexible and comfortable. The sole is made out of a cushy fabric which makes you want to jump. They look really cute, and the shape is such that my feet look really dainty. I really love the beautiful green color.

This is not quite the quality I was expecting. I was surprised to lace up my Jazz Low Pro shoes and see the edge stitching of the toe-end of the tongue sticking out of the lace area. It seems as if the tongue isn't wide enough to lay fully underneath the laces. Also, these run pretty true to size, length-wise, but have a very wide heel. Even though they fit me, my heels were still moving around. Also, the nylon in the toe box is very thin. I could see my big toe sticking though it. I expect this to wear very quickly with regular wear.

The less-comfortable version! I owned a pair of the Saucony Jazz Originals for about 5-6 years. I ran in them, danced in them, walked in them the entire time. I still do sometimes, even though their age is showing and I should probably retire them. But they still feel like I'm walking on pillows; just as comfortable and supportive as day one. I decided to get another replacement pair recently and chose to switch to the Low Pro because of the smaller heel. Well, let's just say I'm disappointed. I am not sure what the huge difference is between the styles, other than sole thickness (and maybe arch support), but this shoe straight up hurts my feet. I have high arches and not a lot of foot pain normally, but these just hurt. I could walk miles in the Originals, but barely 4 blocks in the Low Pro. They are a bit sleeker looking than the Originals, but I kind of wish I had stuck with that style rather than this one. I was a bit shocked, after the awesome experience I had previously, to have such a discrepancy in the same brand.

I like the sneaker alot, the only thing is that I always have to rethread the shoe laces. The way they come makes them too tight and not comfortable to tie. I really\r\nloosen them up.\r\n\r\nI have to soften the back of them first before I wear them becasue the back is a bit\r\nhigh and rubs against the back of my foot.\r\n\r\nThey are long enough and comfortable.\r\nAlot of shoes are too short for my foot.\r\n\r\nI have a small foot and the design of these\r\nshoes makes my foot look wide. I don\'t like\r\nthat feature.

These shoes are super cute with lots of clothing pair options, but the are flimsy. No arch support. Very flat, and bottom is thin.

I currently wear Saucony Lady Jazz...they are perfect for me because the toe box is roomy and the heel narrow enough to fit my foot well. This model does not have the usual wide toe box, so I will have to return them.

This would have been my third pair of Jazz sneakers, but they were too small and narrow! I had to return because they were so tight.

I found the fit to be fine and true to size however they did not have nearly enough cushioning in the footbed for me. It almost felt like I was walking on cardboard. To be fair I need more than the average amount of cushioning I think, but these really did not feel like it had any at all. (For those out there who need great cushioning in the footbed I recommend Asics ASICS GEL-Nimbus 19 Lite-Show - and that specific model, not just any Lite-Show Asics -, although I have found it difficult to find them, not sure if they still make it, I originally got my Nimbus 19s in early 2018).
