Great look, bought because they looked similar to some Saucony Jazz shoes that I had that were the most comfortable shoes I owned. These, however, are not so comfortable. And your ankles feel like they're pretty much left to fend for themselves, as in no support at all.

I own several pairs of Sauconys, and these are smaller than their typical sizing. Buyer beware.

I really want to keep these shoes, but they just don't fit me correctly. I need extra room in the toes (like saucony jazz). Zappos, however, is awesome! Got my shoes here in 1 day!

They look good but are sized drastically too small, like at least half a size. Also they don't offer much support. But, they are casual shoes... Order a half size up unless if you're >=12, then I don't know what to tell you. I gave mine away.

Bought these pairs twice. First pair, excellent, comfort was decent for a thin soul'd shoe. Lasted about a year and 2 months before I needed a new pair. Bought the same pair, but this time around the fell apart about 4-6 months in. Seems like the quality of the shoe went down. Also I noticed that my first pair (still have them) are more comfy. Will be getting Low Jazz Original now.

Nice looking shoe but the vintage nylon makes it look a little cheap. I can't comment on the durability yet because they were a full size too small. I'm looking forward to exchanging them for a size up, I think their low profile sole will be great for weight training.

Looks cool, very light but comically narrow. I ordered a half size above normal, length was fine but I literally could not fit my foot inside the shoe!

These are very comfortable and light and look good, but the toe makes an annoying popping sound as it returns to an unflexed position towards the end of your stride. It's the kind of unfortunate detail that you'd notice if you were trying the shoe on in a store, but can't tell in advance when ordering online.

I like these they are light and cool but there is really nothing to them. They are almost like slipper socks and they run a bit too small.

No breathability whatsoever. Your feet will smell if you wear these shoes for more than a few days. Look good and feel alright.

I can't give these shoes a free pass. If you are not an experienced runner who knows how to run on your mid-foot, these shoes will probably not be comfortable for you. Yes, I like the style (green on white), but know what you are getting into before you buy; I should have taken some of the cautionary warnings about how little protection these shoes provide into account before I purchased. In conclusion: I will wear these shoes out, but will not re-purchase.

These were my fave walking shoes for 3 months - perfect on the hard hospital floors at work and on the street. Great fit, great style and comfort. Always get lots of compliments on them, too. The downside: the nylon fabric is quite thin and a hole wore in the top from my toe, right where the nylon meets the suede trim. Granted, I have walked many, many miles in these shoes, but 3 months is a short lifespan for this much money. I've had the same happen with a pair of Onitsuka Tigers, but not in such a short span of time.

Great look, but terrible comfort - I loved these shoes when I saw them, but had a change of heart when I put them on. You can feel every bump, rock, crack, even blade of grass that you walk over. Wish they were comfortable b/c I would love to wear these all of the time.

These shoes are extremely narrow. I ordered a size up than I normally wear and they still didn’t fit great. There was also a lack of support overall.

I really loved the way these look on the site, but not so much in person. Kinda felt/looked cheap once I had them in hand. The fit was possibly the worst of any shoe I've ever tried. They are without a doubt the narrowest shoes I've ever tried to put on my feet, and I do not have particularly wide feet by any means. They felt small, narrow, hot, and cheap. Really wanted to like these, but had to return them & go with something else.

While I really wanted to like these shoes because they have great style, their shape and sizing is very different from most shoes. My feet are usually true to size on most shoes I order, I usually wear a 9.5. These were way way too small at 9.5, way too small at 10, then the right length but too narrow at 10.5. I finally went up to try the 11's. They fit me in the width, but then were too long in the toe. These are just a really weird fitting shoes. You have to have a narrow foot, and then still go up a full size from what you normally wear.

This shoe is plain uncomfortable to wear. The fit is very tight and the heel cup causes me pain. It's really a shame, too, because I love the style. I've worn Saucony running shoes exclusively since training for my first marathon back in 2009 and have never had an issue with them. I suspect the quality is good, and as mentioned they are stylish, but they are just unwearable to me. Maybe a larger size would help, but I'm not sure how large I would need to go to get them to feel good.

This is a completely impractical shoe, and it makes me wonder what the heck the designers were thinking when they made this. There is zero support, and almost no padding at the front of the shoe, yet there is significant cushioning under the heel. I don't get it. I always feel like I have more need for padding under the balls of my feet than under the heel, unless you're running or jumping with bad form and heel-striking, which will wreck your body anyway, and which I never do. So basically, my feet hurt after walking any distance in these shoes. Any as in, half a mile is already very uncomfortable. And Saucony makes another shoe that is in my opinion superior in all ways: the Jazz low pro: it looks very similar, but is more durable and FAR more comfortable (I can walk miles in them all day and my feet feel great.) Oh, and there is almost no tread, very litle grip especially at the front of the shoe where it is most needed. It's a sort of hard, smoothish rubber with minimal grip, and what is bizarre, there is more grip on the mid-sole (where the triangles are spaced out) than at the front of the shoe. Those little grooves in the sole too, as you walk around you'll get little pieces of gravel stuck in them and need to pick them out, because this shoe is so thin that you will feel each and every one of them. Stupid, stupid design. The people who made this shoe need to get their heads screwed on right, or better yet, find a completely different line of work. I normally like Saucony, I'd even say they're normally my favorite sneaker brand, but shame on them for making and selling such a dysfunctional shoe.

Looked great in the picture, but this is a very cheap little shoe, practically no padding, and the nylon doesn't breathe, so its hot. So this is a tiny little shoe, with no padding, runs very narrow, can't do any sport in it.. and is hot to wear... but looks fun to wear.

These were confusingly small, I'm a woman and I ordered this in Mens because I liked the color, I couldn't even get it on my foot it was so narrow. Very odd.

This is the 4th pair of the Bullet. The style is generally good, but the quality has gone downhill. The material feels cheap. The size is also problematic. Feels smaller and narrower than it should. I think for the MSRP, I expect a higher quality build that feels somewhat premium (e.g. build and insole).
