Customer Reviews Saucony Originals Bullet

i've run in Saucony exclusively for almost 10 years now. so i thought it be nice to get a casual pair if they ever did the retro thing like what Puma & Asics have been doing. i remember the Bullet from my youth, in college - so i just had to have 'em when they came back. i love the colors & the look - low & sleek. they are very comfortable - more comfortable than they look, actually (because they are such a slim shoe. my one secret is, if you run in Saucony, order a 1/2 size up if you are going to use these a casual knock-about shoe.

I am very pleased with this shoe, it's lightweight, comfortable,and very stylish...I'm not too sure how durable they are but do far do good! Allready looking at other color combinations! They are a good performance shoe, but just as good to simply lounge around in...

I use this as an everyday shoe. I walk in it at work, and at home. I definitely find myself more comfortable with these on, and rarely if ever, am sore on my feet. They are also really nice for driving. They give a true feel for my clutch, and it allows the balls of my feet/toes to hug the pedals a little bit. I got these shoes about a little over a year ago. My concern, as I had read reviews, was that they weren't durable if you did anything out in woods, etc... I'll say, my shoes are in perfect condition (aside from some scuff marks on, and the suede getting beaten up). The only downside (as with any minimalist shoe), is that you really shouldn't use it for walking/running anywhere with large roots/rocks on the ground. You will feel EVERYTHING. It's not fun, unless you're trying to climb around places. I used to get New Balance 574's (went through 3 pairs). These are definitely going to be repeat purchases... whenever this pair I've got now falls apart.

This has to be one of the best shoes I have ever worn. I've got flat feet, so a bit of arch support is nice to have. Considering the light weight of these shoes, they provide just enough support to keep my foot from cramping up. The raised heel forces me to walk/run on the ball of my foot, which also helps to keep my feet free from pain. They fit great, and feel wonderful. I usually go through a pair of shoes in 6 months or less, but with these, I've had them last me 8 months, to a year, depending on use. Not to mention, they are a great driving shoe! Light, perfect roll on the back of the heel, and the thinner sole up by the toes helps clutch feel. Love these shoes!

I've been jogging for 20 min every other day for the past five years. I am an undergraduate student who knows that the investment in a good pair of running shoes is vital, especially given my exercise habits. I've been pleased with New Balance shoes in the past, but they were large and heavy. In contrast, the Saucony 'Bullet' pair that I bought around two months ago have been serving me extremely well. Very light-weight, fits comfortably, and gives me a real sense of great motion when I'm running. Super-comfortable to wear all day too. I've just bought a second pair, and am considering myself quite an eager fan of Saucony products. I would recommend this model without hesitation! They come in really cool colors too!

Very well pleased with product. Will order again in future

I drive a classic English sportscar and the Bullet has proven to be perfect for driving. Its light weight and thin profile are the best. My wife bought them for a driving shoe but I started wearing them for everyday use. They're so comfortable. Would recommend them as an all around casual shoe and especially for a driving shoe.

My wife got a pair of Saucony's as a driving shoe. I have a vintage Lotus Super Seven. It's a small car with even smaller foot pedals and space in the footwell. These are perfect! I was surprised to find how lightweight they are. With even regular street shoes I can hit two pedals at once. Not with the Saucony's. I like them so much that I started wearing them all the time. Glad to see this model is still being produced. I'm not a runner but if anyone is looking for a great driving and all around shoe this is it.

These are great. I wear them as my non work shoes and even ran a 10k in them.

This is my second pair of these particular shoes, and my fourth pair of Saucony shoes, they're always durable and the best thing about these for me is the minuscule weight... I walk all day at work and don't generally take these off for hours after I get home because they're so comfortable... most days I wear them for probable 14-16 hours a day without problems or sore feet at the end of the day... I'm actually more comfortable in them than I am out of them! Love them and recommend them to anyone!

I needed something I could wear with a nice pair of jeans on a date, with casual shorts/no socks, to run a bit with, and for turf shoes when I play indoor ultimate tourneys. They work. Maybe not as good specifically as the other specialized shoes I could get, but still. Amazing value, and really comfy, Plus they look plain sick. However, if you want to run 5 miles a day I recommend getting something more running-oriented.

Bought it after other shoes (not Saucony) fell apart. Very comfortable and has more style than every other shoe combined. After I bought this shoe I will only buy from Saucony for shoes. I already have 4 shoes I want from Saucony. All together it's a rocking shoe that I love and want to get more!

Very satisfied with their product will continue to purchase.

This is the third pair (different colors) of Bullets that my college-age son has bought over the past couple of years. He's a long distance runner (90-100 miles/week), so comfort in his daily casual shoes is a must since his feet take so much abuse. Added bonus is that these shoes look great with jeans or casual slacks. Many of his friends have begun wearing them now too.

The very best... I have never bought a pair of Saucony shoes that I haven't absolutely loved. These like all the others are comfortable and stylish. I have a couple other pairs I wear for running (the fastwitch) I bought this one for just walking and casual wear. My only regret with Saucony is that I didn't discover them earlier in my life, they could have spared me a ton of blisters and pain. P.S. The socks are crazy comfortable too.

This is a great shoe if you like something light and low profile. Very stylish, and comfortable on long walks. However, make sure to TRY ONE ON before buying. The sizes are true to your foot size, which makes them smaller and snugger than most other shoes.

I bought these shoes on a wim because of how comfortable they were and how they already had the broken-in feel, with out having to brake them in. I love, love, love this shoe. It's breathable, good for running, the soles form to your feet and they're low profile. I've have even skateboarded in them.. however they are not built for that wear and tear, I found out. I worked at a summer camp for 3 and a half months, and these shoes have taken a beating and are still going, I'll wear them 'til they fall apart (if they fall apart) and buy another pair.

Awesome!!Love 'em..sooo comfy!! I recommend these for everyone!!

I own three pairs of these amazing shoes and use them daily for walking, running (up to 5 miles ... For long distances on the road I need a little more padding) and CrossFit. Why the Bullets are a great CrossFit shoe: > Light Weight: great for sprints, middle distance running. > Thin Sole: lots of response on power and Olympic lifts as your foot is close to the ground. Encourages mid-foot striking (the way humans were running for thousands of years before the big shoe companies decided we needed to heel strike with highly cushioned shoes), discourages heel striking. > Flat Sole: Makes balancing easier on lifts, kettle bell exercises, pistols > Short, Stiff Heel: Like the thin sole, this is ideal for power and Olympic lifts. However, it does have slight give to absorb shock when you heel strike (CrossFit generally discourages heel striking) on short runs, box jumps and rope jumps. > Roomy Toe Box: Although it's a snug fit, there's plenty of room for your toes. Where Saucony could improve this great shoe: > Switch Nylon for Canvas: the shoe could be more breathable and while you can find Bullets made with canvas, Saucony tends to make less of these. > Water Resistant/Soak Resistant: Like most shoes, the Bullets can get heavy when wet. Using materials that absorb less liquids would make this shoe even better. > Better Colors: While I think the Black and Yellow combo is a home run, the colors are sometimes ber ugly. Make it social: have people vote on the next colors (and never discontinue the current black and yellow). Lastly, I've been doing CrossFit for five years and was an NCAA Track athlete in my youth. This is my favorite all purpose shoe. I have used this shoe when doing Murph hero workout (32 minutes; no vest), deadlifting (400 lbs.) and body weight snatch (155 lbs.).

These shoes are the most comfortable shoes i have ever owned and i am on my second pair. They are very lightweight and have a very thin sole. I hope they continue to make this shoe for years to come so i don't have to try and find a product that compares in comfort, it would be a long search.
