Pros: lightweight,comfortable, good looking, minimal cushioning and support. Cons: they don't last forever. I have purchased two pairs. The first pair was white and they start looking dirty easily so I have washed them a few times. I was wearing them hiking and the leather tore open. I still wore them for quite a while and I fully intend on repairing them soon. I have another pair that is dark grey and they are still going strong. I hope that these shoes will continue to be available for a long time. The soles squeak easily when I walk on smooth floors and I like it. I recently went on a vacation where it was important to pack light and they were definitely easy to pack.

I use the Bullet for mountain biking, because it is light and fits snug. I highly recommend them for running, and biking, though they don't provide a great amount of shock absorption.

I have several pairs of Saucony, all 11.5. The Bullet are probably 1-2mm more snug than the A5 which fits my foot like a glove, and way more snug than the Virrata and Guide 6, both of which are a comfortable fit. For a casual shoe I am going to reorder at a 12 for comfort, at 11.5 my foot feels cramped.

I have these in a few different colors. I really like the low profile and understated style. These are great shoes, but I would not want to go walk 10 miles in them. Since they are low profile they offer limited support and you might not be happy after a long hike.

Didn't get to keep these, I ordered the same size as my Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81s but these were about a half size smaller. Very snug, very lightweight, very little support or padding, even for a casual/retro runner. Good looking shoes but I think I'm going to go with the jazz low pro. Even though it looks bigger in the pictures I think it is more comparable to the Ultimate 81s.

I bought the Bullets because they reminded me of the Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81 and I liked the color. I ended up having to get a half size bigger than I do with Onitsuka Tigers but they are very light-weight and comfortable. Great walking shoe.

If you take the insoles out, they fit great. If you are a ninja or a barefoot runner, this may work. Otherwise, order a half size up, possibly more (I took the insoles out, so I am obviously a ninja.).

Very minimal - light and maintains foot sensitivity with the ground... my main thing was that they were too narrow. I don't have particularly wide feet - D's are usually fine for me - but with these I would go up to the next width.

I bought this shoe for the gym - strictly for weight training. This shoe gives just enough support almost a barefoot type feeling. Love training calves in these shoes. The shoe allows you to get those deep extensions. The flat foot design is also great for squats and leg press. The minimal heel takes all the unwanted pressure off your lower back. This is an extremely durable shoe. I also received multiple comments from coworkers the couple of times I wore them to work. One of those shoes's you wish you would have bought 2 pairs at the same time.

Love this shoe! Can't beat the retro-athletic look of this sneaker, not to mention the jolt of color and the low price. I ordered the size 13 which fits like a size 12, so go at least a half-size up with this one. Will definitely get another pair when another cool color comes out!

Bought for their good looks. Excellent wear for the summer. Ultra light. Sole not very durable (expect one summer of wearing it daily). Not a sport shoe per se, more of a sneaker that you can wear when doing sports casually. If you're looking for an actual shoe to run, Saucony have much better models. This one is a fashionable shoe that you can run in. Just don't overdo it. Lightness and grip makes it excellent for yoga. I just happen to yoga barefoot, but it's a great shoe for that. Excellent bang for the buck.

Fits nice and snug, feels almost as good as a normal sneaker. Got lots of compliments, but keep in mind that the light colors get dirty faster than you think.

This shoe is awesome. It looks absolutely amazing with the low profile and suede accents. My only complaint is that it runs a tad narrow but besides that I'm completely satisfied. Just a great, everyday shoe.

This is my second pair of bullets. They are great shoes, with a minimalistic design. Do not expect a lot of support, but they do have good cushioning. These are great shoes for the price. Definitely order half to a full size larger than your normal shoes. I wear a 10½ normally, and in these I wear an 11, I could even be 11½.

Extremely lightweight. I don't use them for running, only for style. The are very snug, I have to wear very thin socks with them. Comfortable, but after several hours my feet can't wait to get them off because of how snug they are. They look cool though. I would imagine to run in them, one would have to be barefoot or wear very thin un-cushioned socks.

I was very happy with the shoes, but they took a little time getting used to. The thin sole lets you feel the ground you are walking on. I purchased these back in April and it is now the beginning of January. The shoes are starting to succumb to wear and tear. One shoe is torn on the side near the big toe (on the side). This was from normal use. I had a hard time wearing them in the winter too, because you can feel the coldness of the sidewalk through the bottom. Great summer/fall shoes, but not for winter.

I love these shoes. I felt like a ninja when I was wearing them...except when they squeaked, which was when I walked on any hard smooth floor. They were very light and comfortable. During the summer my feet stayed cool and they weren't too constricting. They have almost no arch support and that's the way I like it. The main down side is that after about six months there was a hole in them. They were good for one summer.

Very little cushion, but they're so light that it almost feels like you're not wearing shoes. As someone who doesn't really enjoy wearing shoes, that's an excellent feature. I normally wear an 11, but this shoe was far too tight and I had to send them back for a half size larger. Very happy with them.

Beware, bullet is quite literal -- the toes on these may be too compact for your regular shoe size. I had to wear these for about 3 months nonstop (was using them as dress shoes before) and both of my big toes went numb and are still recovering. On the other hand, my Original Jazz of the same size never had this issue and remains among my favorite shoes.

These shoes feel great after walking in them in SF. You can feel the road it's nice. Very comfy. Only downside is workmanship isn't great.

I bought this shoe because I was looking for a great shoe to exercise in. Hitting the gym, going for a casual run, or even playing a little soccer all work well. It does not have a thick sole and no impressive arch support like you'll find in a running or tennis shoe. With such a thin sole, I expect the shoe to wear out sooner. I only wear them when exercising so to meet my goal of lasting 7 months is easy enough.. When they came in I immediately liked the look but I noticed that the Saucony symbol on the side had a small thread sticking out. I ordered them in gray/orange, which looks spectacular and much better than similarly colored shoes that some family members bought in other stores. The only downside is that I noticed the edges of some of the gray areas appear to have some residue left over from the orange (paint?). The orange color clearly has something added to it to make it look so bright and whatever that is, got on the gray a little so it gives them a dirtier look; as if some orange rubbed off onto the gray a little. I'm hoping that after using them a little more, the residue will go away, leaving the whole shoes looking clean and crisp. I ordered it in a size 14, since I have some big feet. All my other size 14 shoes fit fine but I found that these were a little too snug and I should probably have ordered the wider (W) pair. If they sold size 14.5 I would definitely have ordered those instead. The shoe isn't too small but I'm not yet used to such a tight fit. However, it does give me excellent control in whatever I'm doing. Overall, I'm very satisfied with these shoes. They were my first Saucony purchase, and I am definitely going to shop for shoes on their website again in the future. If you're on the fence about buying it, I recommend doing so. Just keep in mind the tighter-than normal fit (not that it's too small though) and you're good.

Very lightweight and comfortable, but they seem to run about a half size small. It's really a track shoe so there's not any cushion up front, so if your gonna be walking on the pavement I would go for the saucony jazz low, also very comfortable with similar classic styling.

In additon to the white laces, there are a nice bonus pair of laces that match the grey symbol on the side.

Love the shoe but how come the women get all the hot colors? Let a little color drift over the men's way. There's more to life over here than 50 shades of black and blue! hahahaha
