Light weight shoe, which seems nice. But, that comes at an expense...of padding on the bottom of the foot. I can feel even the smallest of bumps on the ground. Like the style and quality. So, we'll see how it works out over the upcoming months.

They are tight in the toe box and just pointed enough to make a sound when I walked in them.

Had to return, the blue coloring in the shoes bled profusely when subjected to dampness and wet surfaces.

Shoe leans forward and so do you. Narrow toe box. Light and almost stylish.

Good looking shoes, but they felt too narrow and a little too short. Returned them and went with a different brand/style.

I’ve worn other shoes by saucony and they’ve fit well. These were very narrow comparatively.

I like the style but unfortunately not very comfortable on my feet and felt small. I've always worn the Saucony JAZZ Low Pro style for years, size 10. So I ordered this in a size 10 and it felt a half size small, my toes were at the tip and my foot felt like it was busting out of the shoe. Also it's a little too narrow for my feet. Also wish it had more cushion in the sole, since I'm on my feet all day. Otherwise it's a good looking shoe, just wish it was more comfortable on my feet. I decided to return it and reorder the Saucony JAZZ Low Pro style in a size 10. I hope Saucony didn't change their size chart.

These shoes were manufactured in Vietnam and run extremely small. My shoes look like children's shoes... Too bad as they are great looking!

Based on other reviews, I bought these for strength training and weight lifting, and was really disappointed. The Saucony Jazz were my go-to kicks for the weekends, so I had hopes for these. They run narrow, and they don't have the wider-seeming toebox that the pictures suggest. I bought two pairs to try on, and the one I thought would be too big (9.5 mens--I wear a 10.5 in women's) was barely big enough to jam my foot into. A reasonable minimal shoe if it fits, but this was not for me.

I LOVE the look of these Bullets. Very happy with their style. However, they are far from perfect. First, I purchased a 10 1/2 as that fits me in most shoes. Those were way too tight. Returned those for 11s and they work much better. The length is just right, but I could probably use just a slight more width (keep in mind, my feet are far from wide - I have only worn medium widths my entire life with no problems). Second, there isn't a ton of padding/support. My feet felt tired after wearing them for a whole day. The insert is removable, so I have considered getting different inserts with better support, but that turns these $50 shoes into $70 shoes (which they aren't). Third, the material is canvas. It's unique and I like it, but not sure how they are going to hold up over the long haul. I suspect I'm going to have to think carefully about when and where I wear these shoes. (For instance, we've had two days of rain as I type this, and I have intentionally NOT worn these out int he wet weather.) Again, I love the look, but wish they were slightly more comfortable so I could wear them all day like I do my other shoes. I love the look enough that I am keeping them, but not sure I will purchase them again.

Comfortable and supportive, but not as high quality as I'd hoped. The soles wore very quickly and the heel padding degraded pretty fast too. My baseline for comparison is the Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81 which wear much better over time. I might buy these again just for looks, but not for everyday comfort.

I'm a teacher, so I am on my feet all day. I normally buy a pair of shoes, wear them every day, and when they die, I toss 'em. I am happy when I get a pair of shoes that last 6 months. These shoes lasted about 2 months before the back heel got warped and started rubbing my heel raw. The shoes are relatively stylish, and were pretty comfy (though their isn't much support/cushion). Not the best shoes I ever bought, but not the worse either.

They feel great. I love walking around in them and they look great except one thing. The seams fell apart about a year after owning them!

Purchased this for my son. He says they are extremely comfortable but not very substantial. No arch support. If you want a comfortable shoe for and you aren't worried about support these are for you.

Cheap. I've had several pairs of Saucony's and this barely passes for a low cost pair of shoes. The bottom heel on one of the shoes made my foot tilt inward.

Look great but worst shoes for comfortability or any prolonged walking. Never use these to run in either. All other reviews are correct about size too, go half a size up. Decent cushion for the heels but nothing from the midsole up.

So these are great shoes. I've had a pair before. I'm not sure if QA is a problem or something has changed in their process. My last pair of Bullets worked fine until the soles went. This one, The outer sole started to peel off after a few months. I drive a manual and my left leg spends a lot of time dragging the heel back and forth, but this still feels like a bad glue job. I haven't had this problem with other shoes worn similar amounts of time in the same situation.

These are not bad shoes, but they need more support and cushion for your feet. I cannot wear these shoes for more than two hours before my feet start to hurt. I really wanted to like these shoes. They are cute, but not what you want to wear for a full day of adventure.
