Customer Reviews Saucony Originals Bullet

First of all, let's start with Zappos. There is no one better! A few others might be equally great, but none are better. These shoes are tremendous. Second time I bought this exact pair. I travel the world and these always go with me. They really liked Russia. I have slightly large feet but these shoes do, I think, make your foot look smaller. I usually wear a 12 in Nike, but I bought these in a 13. Super lightweight, great with jeans.

An excellent pair of shoes. Sizing was perfect. Quality of shoe is awesome, these things have really held up. Shipping was super fast as always.

This is the second pair of these sneakers I've bought for my son. When I ask what he'd like for his Birthday; he says...another pair of those sneakers. He's found ones he likes, and he's sticking with them! You can't beat the price either; awesome!

Love these shoes... these are my go-to casuals 5-7 days/wk. I also wear Doc's (boots) and Chucks on a regular basis. Easy to slip on (leave tied) and they conform to your feet. I have a wide, large (12) foot but wear these w/ no problems. I also prefer none to little support, so these are great. They've held up very well in the ~year I've owned them and are actually my second pair (I ruined the 1st pair on my own). I'm a serious heel striker and despite how often I wear these, there is still a very sufficient amount of tread. I work two jobs and on the days I work both, it's a ~17 hr day. My feet do not complain at all. Bottom line: For comfy, everyday shoes, you can't beat the comfort, look and cost of these. They actually make my big feet look smaller, which is always a plus. Definitely recommend!

I bought these for my 14 year old son. I honestly do not know how great they are for running or other sport activities, but my son is constantly telling me how comfortable they are. His words, "It always feels like I'm walking on air!"

I own several different color of the Bullets. They are a great minimal sneaker to wear everyday. They are lightweight but reasonably durable.

Love these shoes. This is my second pair. Inexpensive, well made, and super comfortable. They are my go-to summer shoe.

Hard to say anything that's not already been said. To be clear, they are GREAT shoes. They run a just a bit snug, but break in really well, so yes you will feel like a ninja. Kind of 80's retro cool, a nice classic look. Sole's kinda thin but I feel like that gives a better grip on the earth. All in all I love these shoes. The last pair I had I pretty much rode into the ground. Got these shiny new ones and compliments are not rare. Oh and shipping crazy fast, thanks Zappos people!

These shoes are great. Lightweight and comfortable. Not a lot of support so I wouldn't plan on doing any heavy sports activities in these, but they're great for everyday use.

I got these shoes for my son because he loved them so much when he had them a year ago. They are great looking and comfortable. I thought my son might object to having the same shoe again, but he said he would always like to have these shoes. The only downside is that they are not very durable...kind of fragile, even. Nonetheless, for the price, it is a shoe you can afford once a year and wear occasionally rather than every day. Great shoe!

Weight - Put these on and they feel like slippers. You'll want to dance around like Bruce Lee, pre-strike! Flex - Out of the box they'll already feel worn in...None of that "new shoe stumble" to them. Wore these for some light lifting and they were perfect! Width - Even with bad bunions, they felt spacious enough to be worn with no discomfort. Definitely a narrow shoe, but stretches without straining. Grip - Thin, rubber soles...You will definitely feel the ground. These would be great near-barefoot trainers, probably better suited for a track...To my traceurs...they're as thin enough to take on and feel rails and precisions, but walls will kill these quickly. Price - Cheaper on sale...Decent price. For a shoe that can double as a nice casual outing shoe or as you cross fit/barefoot/parkour/athletic go to...the price is far better than 100 to 120. Overall - great buy, go at least a half size up (I wear an EU 41/US 7.5) and an 8 is a perfect fit.

Light as a feather, comfortable, stylish. It's a snug fit, and runs a tad small, so order up. Once you have hit the right size, they are like a glove on your foot, wonderfully flexible.

Great shoe equally at home with shorts or a pair of jeans. I don't use these for working out. Try the New Balance Minimus Series or Nike Free if looking for a little to no support workout or running shoe. Shoe does not fit as narrow as it looks like it will. But it's not a wide body by any means.

I just ran a marathon in these bad boys and they were awesome. These are ideal for people looking for minimalist shoes and/or looking to transition to zero drop shoes without archsupport. They are designed like the throwback 1985 Saucony bullet track spikes to be ultralight and thin. The sole in the forefoot is thin, at about 4 mm and under the heel it is about 1 cm without the insert. These are also considerably lighter than the minimalist shoes made by merrell and do not cause the irritating abrasion on the back of your heels that many runners experience with Merrells. I recommend taking out the thickly cushioned insert and getting used to them that way (although you might need to leave them in for your longer runs at first). These have been absolutely awesome for road running/racing and make me feel like I am flying. The thin rubber on the soles has been surprisingly strong and I've been able to run over sharp rocks with them. Running on trails and rocky paths however is a bit painful still for my feet in these thin shoes, so I have to leave the inserts in when im on rough trails which blows because the inserts increase the thickness of the heel cushion considerably. I might find some thinner inserts for trail running or just run in a different shoe.

Great sneaks but thin. If you're in a cold climate and wearing these recreational, you may want to consider something a bit warmer.

Oh WOW this shoe is comfortable. I am in my pajamas wearing them as slippers this very minute. When not wearing them as slippers I am out scaling walls like a ninja. I wanted a slick looking casual sneaker and originally ordered the Asics Onitsuka Tiger 81, but I wasn't happy with the fit. I'm used to minimal/barefoot running and found the Tiger had too much restricting support. I sent the Tiger back and got the Saucony Bullets. I am sooo glad that I did. These could make a nice minimal running shoe, but they're too damn cool looking to put through too much abuse. And I doubt they are sturdy enough to handle long runs. They have a flat, thin sole but are still amazingly bouncy. I normally wear 10.5 but went up to a 11 as suggested by other customers, and they fit perfect. I haven't ever had a pair of sneakers this comfortable and this slick looking. I'm sticking with the Bullets for life.
