I am devastated these have been discontinued. I've owned I don't know how many pairs over the last 14 years or so. They are the best. My current pair is getting a bit shabby, so I started shopping for a new pair and realized I am out of luck. Noooo! Please bring them back.

I love my Saucony Bullets. Please bring them back. It was a mistake to discontinue this shoe.

I've been wearing bullets as my everyday shoe for over 10 years. Just got on the website to order my next couple pairs for the year and sadly turns out they have been discontinued. Just ordered the last 11.5 in a color I don't prefer but it was the last one. Not sure what I'm going to do when it comes time for a new pair. I've tried a few other similar shoes and nothing compares. Wearing my last pair as I type this. Please bring these back!!! And if you find any more 11.5's hidden in the warehouse, let me know, I'll buy lots of them :)

The Saucony Bullet is my favorite sneaker. I added a little color by changing out the shoe laces. Unfortunately, I think this style is being discontinued. I’ve had many pairs over the years and I’m sad to see them go.

By far the most comfortable shoes I own. I have flat feet and they serve me well. If you have a high arch, I would look elsewhere. Plus... they just look cool

Thankfully I read most of the reviews. Order a half size larger than you normally wear. I wear a 10.5 in every other shoe. I ordered these in 11’s and they fit perfectly. I wanted a bridge between a normal sneaker and a minimalist, and these are perfect. And they’re really light and comfortable.

Comfortable minimalistic reasonably priced stylish. Front half of feet feels a bit raw due to very thin sole, but thats expected. Order a half size bigger as it runs narrow and most feedback mention this too. Good product.

I bought these for hip hop and they have just the right amount of slip and grip for sliding and sticking when you need to! They aren't bulky, but still give you support and cushion. I like how the toe/ball of foot area doesn't have a ton of "squish" under it so you can feel and control what you are doing. And, the heel area has all of the squish of a low grade running shoe, which is what you need for support, stability, comfort and injury prevention. Too much squish and you lose "dance-ability" in a shoe. Too little squish and you end up with injuries. I am a runner and I've tried dancing in bulkier running shoes and it just doesn't work. These fit the bill for hip hop. I also did a quick/short run in these once with my daughter when I first got them and I wouldn't recommend it at all. There isn't any shock absorption in the front and that will transfer to your joints and spine over time. I hope they never stop making this style! I am always an 8.5 and these fit perfectly.

This shoe is great. Comfortable and looks good. Definitely runs small. Had to order a half size up.

I tried these Saucony Originals and half an hour later I was doing Olympic back-flips as when I was 15 years old. I am 52 now. I will be buying another color to see if I can do the Olympic Rings.

I bought these for my husband & he loves them and they are a great alternative to his more expensive Diesel sneakers that fit very similarly. They look great with shorts & jeans. He is really picky & he loves them, so that's saying a lot.

Boom! Let me break you off a piece of knowledge friend: these are great shoes. Probably in my top 3 ever (I really like comfortable sneakers, so that's kind of a big deal.) Seriously. I just keep buying new ones as soon as I wear a hole in my last pair. You want to talk about comfort? Forget about it. Thin, breathable nylon uppers with suede accents keep the upper portion of your foot looking good as well as cool and dry. Gum-like rubber soles (along with gravity) keep you stuck to whatever surface you're traversing. Style-wise this shoe has it all: laces, a cool white strip on the side with 3 holes in it, contrasting upper/sole, a label that says Saucony...uh...treads on the soles. I don't know, it's a sneaker. What more do you want?! (You know, there's no pleasing some people.) Anyway, this shoe rocks. Seriously, I love it. If I could make sweet-sweet love to a shoe, well, it wouldn't be this one, because this shoe is a well-groomed, good-looing man-shoe and I am also a man who doesn't swing that way with, uh, shoes. Whatever. Doesn't matter. This shoe is equally at home playing two-hand touch on a Levi's commercial or taking you to that new hipster bar in Park Slope. (Oh, you haven't heard of it?) If I'm being honest (which I am), there are a few downsides: the shoe is very light weight, which is good, but both the upper and the sole are very thin. The sole is so thin it can be easily bent in half and will generally not protect your feet from rocks. So I would not recommend this for trail running, etc. In fact, I have different running shoes and wear these simply as casual street shoes. The thinness of the soles also means that heavy use can rapidly cause holes in the soles. Overall, mediocre shoe (ha! I'm kidding, great shoes, do yourself a favor and buy a pair).

Wow! What a comfortable shoe this is straight out of the box. I wanted a minimalist type of shoe, but after breaking a bone in my foot I need to wear a special pair of custom orthotics which makes finding shoes that fit my orthotics very difficult. I was torn between the Onitsuka Tigers Ultimate 81 and the Saucony Originals Bullet. I needed a shoe that would also fit my wide feet. After reading a lot of reviews about both shoes, I decided to choose the Saucony. These shoes have a removable insole whereas the Onitsuka Tigers do not. My orthotics slid right in when I took their insole out and my feet have never been happier. Please note that these shoes do run about a half size too small. I am normally a 6 1/2 or 7 in all other shoes, but after reading the reviews I decided to purchase a 7 1/2 in the Saucony. It was a perfect fit, and if I could compare the feeling to something, I would say it is like wearing a glove with a thin sole -- no rubbing, no breaking in period, just pure comfort. I love these shoes so much that I just may sleep in them, and I will definitely be ordering more as soon as they get more in stock in my size. These things go quick. I would also like to add how much I love Zappos and their fast delivery and their V.I.P service. I ordered my shoes late Saturday night and received them Monday morning before noon -- amazing. Do these people ever sleep or take breaks because their speedy service is amazing?!

Just picked up my 2nd pair of Bullets...love these shoes! Low profile, very flexible, and the the rubber on the bottom is very long lasting. Got my first pair about a year ago and shows very little signs of wear. Use these shoes casually and for some short runs (3 miles or so) when I want to work on my form.

Love them, love them, love them! I wear these in the summer with no socks. They're very light but not so much that it feels like you have nothing on your feet. The material breathes allowing feet to stay relatively dry and when they do get a bit less than fresh, I just throw them in the washer (not sure how the darker colors would do in the washer). There's adequate arch support; important to me as I have flat feet. Overall it's an extremely comfortable shoe.

These shoes are very light and very comfortable. So far I like them a lot. I did get them in white/green and the yellow dye on the leather on the inside of the shoe rubs onto my socks a little. It usually washes out, so it's no big deal. I really like these shoes. They are great for running and just wearing around. I also like these shoes because they are minimal shoes that breathe well and they pack easily.

When I first tried these on they were a bit snug, but a few days in these melted them to my foot size. I wear these everywhere - work, church (they look great with slacks!), volleyball, etc. Only time I don't wear them is in the rain, since they sit pretty low to the ground.

I love these shoes. I have the Navy/Cement ones and I'm about to buy the Black/Silver ones. They're the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I love how light weight they are. I always make sure to wear them when I travel, and I walked around Istanbul in them for 10 days in absolute comfort. Some reviews have said that the sizes are off, but I didn't find that to be the case. Oh, and they look pretty sweet too (obviously).
