I love these shoes! I'm actually a girl and couldn't find them in a size 9, do I ordered a make 7.5. Very cute, but no support.

The bullet is amazing. I would not run in it , due to the lack of support. I would rather get the Kinvara. But, overall for every day use it's great. This is my second pair of Bullets. I noticed they run a little small so order a half size up. The value is great since they last so long and the price is great. Best shoe for everyday use and they still look stylish, but are comfortable. I wouldn't run in them but still make great shoes Saucony did a great job with the shoes

I have put so many miles on these shoes now that I think they would be in the category of some really awesome tires. They have held up, but I will note one thing - I put a custom insole in mine so in some ways my experience might be different than yours. Regardless, the shoes have held up wonderfully and I highly recommend them.

I saw these shoes in a store in a different color and really liked the style. I found the color that I liked on Zappos plus the price was way better. They run half a size small so be sure to size up. I bought these to wear around town as just some casual shoes, but I have to say I found them to be much more comfortable than I imagined. They are very light, easy to pack for a trip, and very comfortable.

I have very narrow feet and these fit snug as a bug. Incredibly light and comfortable. Super stylish. Only drawback is there isn't much padding, but they're great for everyday wear. Oh, and of course Zappos is always a pleasure to work with!

I've never written a review for a product before, but after wearing these puppies for a couple of months, I just had to write one. Thank you Saucony for finally making a crazy good looking, comfy, and affordable retro sneaker, I wear these things everyday, and when they finally wear down, I will be back for more. This will be the only sneaker I buy for now on if you guys keep making them so well.

The good: These shoes are incredibly lightweight, and are really comfortable. They have a trendy low profile, and have a minimalist, understated look. I'm not sure how they'd hold up for *real* athletic use, given the rather thin sole, but for my purpose (casual wear), they couldn't be better. The bad: Sizing is *way* off. I normally wear an 8.5 or a 9, and I took these in a 9.5. They run that small. (For reference, I wear Onistuka Tiger Ultimate 81 shoes in a 9, and find them to be a little roomy, but not excessively so.) To need a 9.5 in these was a surprise, and necessitated a return, which Zappos handled flawlessly. The tricky: IF YOU HAVE A HIGH / STEEP INSTEP, READ THIS: You're going to have to modify these shoes to get them to fit properly. If you don't, your foot will spill out of the top of the shoe (because they are REALLY low-profile, sole, upper and all). BUT FEAR NOT! The insole can be pulled right out, and is actually two glued-together foam pieces, the bottom of which is rather thick. All I had to do to get a perfect fit with these shoes was to remove (peel off) the bottom foam component of each insole (and it does come off without too much difficulty), and boom. Now, they're excellent... close to perfect, in fact. I liked them so much, that I bought a second pair (in another color).

This shoe is very lightweight and comfortable and has excellent traction. I couldn't ask for more from a shoe. Thanks, Saucony!

This shoe is very comfortable for casual athletic activity, but since I don't wear any racers for running, I stay away from using it for any speed training. The toe area fits snug but comfortable enough to wiggle your toes. There is no support so be careful not to impact hard on the toe. Heel protection is also minimal but being true to size prevents my heel from sliding.

Just bought my third pair of Bullets! I find them to be extremely comfortable and they look great. They are quite flexible and have a nice low profile. These are my everyday shoes. I'm very impressed with the build quality--just a little bit of separation between the rubber and the shoe at the tip of the toe after three years of continuous use on my first pair. The leatherette around the shoes' openings has held up surprisingly well and the tread wears fairly evenly. If you're planning on doing any sort of serious running, though, buy an actual pair of running shoes! Saucony makes all kinds of purpose-driven running shoes. I run in Omnis.

These are great shoes I use them for Parkour and cross fit training. Zappos provided the fastest service ever! I ordered the standard shipping and sent them to New York because I was visiting family there and by the time I got there the next day they were already there.

Not Sanuk-comfortable but still great with much credit given to its light weight as well as its flexibility and nylon highlights. Very stylish as well - It's inevitable you'll be noticed and complimented. I got the blue orange pair because I'm the type of maverick that leads rather than follows. Great for running, longboarding, scaling fences, chasing waterfalls, what have you. I would recommend these shoes. And not to mention how great Zappos is; they're the Top Gun.

These shoes are great! I was looking for something a little retro but comfortable and these Saucony's are perfect! They run a little snug, but since they are so flexible it is not an issue for me. If I had to list a complaint I would be reaching, but the shoe could use a little more cushion on the ball of your foot. The heel is nice and soft, but the front of the shoe is a little thinner on the front of the shoe. All in all I think this is a great shoe!

I told myself "I would want to get every colorway of these shoes." They are lightweight and fitted. These shoes were exactly what I was looking for. As far as functionality, they are my everyday shoes, and I see no problems. I am going to put miles on these shoes.

This is everything I need in an athletic shoe. For the cost, quality, and design, they can't be beat. I have owned five pairs of Saucony Bullets since discovering them two years ago. I use them for everything: casual wear, running, cross-training, travel. I have found them to be extremely comfortable (I refer to them as my 'outdoor sport slippers') and very long wearing. It's easy to pack extra pairs when traveling, because they are so lightweight and compact, and they work as excellent 'minimal' running shoes. They offer just the right amount of heel cushion for those times that I need to spend a lot of time on my feet. Other than that, they offer very little (if any) support, which is exactly what I look for in a sport/casual wear shoe. Highly recommended!

This shoe was just what I wanted. It handles my hard walking, and breathes well so great for Chicago summers. While not a downside for me it is thin sole so just be aware.

These are, by far, the most comfortable sneakers I've worn. They're slim, lightweight, and the colors (Charcoal/Red) are beautiful. The photo on this site accurately represent the colors on the sneaker, at least on the Charcoal/Red. Arch support is nearly non-existent, which is not a problem for me, but may be for some. Because of their lightweight design, they're the closest thing to being barefoot that I've ever felt on a sneaker (disclaimer: I've never worn "barefoot running" shoes), which is exactly what I was looking for. I love these shoes so much I look forward to purchasing an extra pair in different colors just to have the option.

Just bought my third and fourth pair (simultaneously) of this shoe. I first bought the Bullet in 2009 to replace my Asics that got discontinued. Paranoid that this style would become obsolete, I quickly bought a pair one year later for when they would eventually wear out. I've got hundreds of miles on my current pair and finally starting wearing into the heel on my left foot (about a quarter size bigger than my right) and thought it was time to look at a replacement. These shoes are great for anything from crosstraining to long distance. I've done a few marathons in these and they do great as long as you've prepared your feet and legs for the minimalist experience. Just watch out for little sharp rocks in these as you will feel them, they are about as thin as a pair of five fingers on the balls of your feet up to your toes.
I'd also recommend:
Vibram FiveFingers, your own feet, Asics
