Just the shoe I was looking for. After looking into all the minimalist shoes out there, and after some recommendations from some barefoot runners who had tried these, I bought them. These shoes are so very light and thin, just what you are looking for if you want that barefoot feel. And they are well made and good looking. I have had chronic foot pain (Plantars Fasciitis) for quite some time and the only way to get rid of it is to strengthen your feet. A shoe like this is the answer.

Just got this shoe. Great product, really stylish, very comfortable. I’m struck by how light this shoe is; it’s very much like a track-shoe with more padding to make it more comfortable. I wouldn’t recommend it for walking long distances; go with the Saucony Jazz Low-pro for a good mix of fairly stylish with really comfortable. But overall a great shoe. I think it fits a bit smaller than most, I wear a 10.5 in the jazz, but an 11 in this shoe.

I've found these shoes to be comfortable and snazzy looking. I normally wear size 10.5 in Adidas, but 11 in these so take that for what you will. Very good for walking around, hanging out in, and I even tried them out in a 5 mile race. I got 5 seconds off my best time, so they are serviceable running shoes. I wouldn't recommend them if you are fat.

Great light weight shoe. Very comfortable. My only complaint is the sole is a little noisy, but I assume that will go away with time and wear. Overall, I am very happy with the shoe.

This is a very comfy shoe. I was a bit skeptical before I had them on, but after about two hours they were totally broken in due to the lightweight material. These have all the flare and style of the more popular Tigers, but surpasses the Tiger in comfort to boot. Though I highly recommend that you get a half a size bigger, I have worn a size 11 for as long as I can remember, but I took the advice of another review. Had I got size 11 they would have fit far too tight. When I get home the first thing I do is take off my shoes, but you almost forget you have them on, but I do think because of the lightness of them you may not want to do much more than casual walking (not an everyday shoe) or at least get 2 pairs so you can switch. I can't see how these could last longer than a year with the best of care, but definitely happy with this shoe at the end of the day, and definitely the new Tiger for me.

I was looking for a casual sneaker when these caught my eye. I usually wear a 9-10 depending on the brand, including owning a pair of Saucony running shoes, but I needed to go up to a 10.5 and maybe a 11 would not have been too big, both from a width and length perspective. In any case, these are very light and flexible, akin to Nike Free shoes; however I don't recommend athletic endeavors in them. I love wearing them and like their look. I wish I hadn't worn jeans whose color ran onto the shoes, but oh well. I would recommend these to anyone interested in a fashionable casual sneaker.

Even though I have worn a 9.5 in the Saucony Jazz for the last three pairs of sneakers I've owned, I had to return the size 9.5 of this model for 10s. These bullets fit like a glove. They're not as padded as the Jazz, but that's to be expected for lower-profile shoes. I love the way they look.

As a casual shoe, this is the one everyone should have in their closet. For most people, size up 1/2 your regular size. However, for small-footed guys like me, this is a PERFECT FIT. Could use some arch support (since there is NONE), but otherwise this is an excellent shoe!

Awesome shoe! I was kinda weary of getting these, but I needed a comfortable shoe and I like the retro look of these. I'm glad I got them because they are indeed comfortable. The fit reminds me of slip-ons, which is what I usually wear. Basically a snug fit without very much shoe. I like the slim style. They aren't big and bulky at all, but they're WAY more comfy than slip-ons are. The soles are removable, too, so if I need to get something better for walking around (I don't think I will though), I can. Excellent shoe for the price.

Stylish, low pro. Slightly more blue than pictured. Narrow, good for me. Not much sole in front of shoe, but it is a track style. In conclusion, I dig 'em.

Very Comfy Kicks - I was a little leery when I first got them that they would be too narrow and flimsy. I have big and wide feet. I can say now that they are very comfy and have given me no problems at all. They look great and are great for kicking around town or chillin’ at the house. Thanks Zappos!

I bought these shoes almost exactly two years ago. They were comfortable and I wore them almost every day since I got them. They are now end of life with holes in the soles. A little uncomfortable on rough surfaces (again thin soled). I got them because they were a thin soled shoe so that wasn't a bad thing. I would have liked if they had lasted a bit longer (hence the 4 stars), but other than that they did great and I am happy.

I love these for around town. They feel like slippers and are a cool minimalist 80's vibe. Not a ton of padding but enough.

I should have listened to the other reviewers and bought a half size larger than usual. Considering how narrow the sneaker is at the arch, I'm not sure it would matter. The material is flexible and comfortable, and I like the style. It's a shame it doesn't fit me well. I'll have to return this pair.

I normally wear a mens size 10. I ordered a 10.5 and it is still snug. Other than that, they are as advertised.

I love this shoe for casual wear. I bought it for the retro styling & colors. I didn't care for the women's colors at all, so I bought the men's version instead! The right shoe is little tight in the toe box but I'm hoping it stretches out with wear. I wear 9.5 in women's sizing and 8 in men's.

I have a wide flat foot and normally wear an 8 in womens or a 6/6.5 in mens. I like boys or mens sizes because they tend to be made wider. The width felt perfect for me and was very comfortable and light. There's surprisingly more lift in the heel than expected with the insert (I prefer closer to zero drop), but I could have lived with it. But I decided to return the shoe because the curved up toe box combined with the little bit of extra length in the shoe caused a weird flap in the toe area after pushing off each foot. I wish Saucony would make a mens 6.5 in not just these shoes but also the Jazz Low Pro. If wishing only made it so...

The shoe is lightweight, low-profile and fits just right. If you're looking for a stylish minimalist sneaker this is it. Great with jeans or shorts. Some extra info- I do recommend high quality no show socks to accompany this shoe, as your ankles will show. Be sure to take advantage of the cool lace lock feature built in to the design... as it is necessary for the shoe to wear properly. You basically make a compression loop with the extra eylets. Once the lace lock is in effect you never have to untie the shoes. They just slip on and off and fit securely every time. The tread is durable and grips well. Far more comfortable than Chuck's and you can't beat the price of the Saucony for value. I say go for it! Order your normal size. I have the suede and nylon version, it's high quality material on par with Nike/Converse. There is also a Terry version. I can say that suede ones are well-constructed. I can't speak for the Terry version but I will be ordering a pair to try them out. I would assume the terry are just as nice and a vegan option.

I got these shoes because I wanted a small, form-fitting shoe to wear while riding my bike around town. They've proven great for this. They stick to the pedals right where I want them to (closer to the ball of the foot), and they don't have a chunky heel that gets in the way of anything or makes it awkward to quickly mount and dismount in the city. When I'm not using clipped in pedals, I prefer these over any other sneakers I've worn while city riding.
