Customer Reviews Saucony Originals Bullet

A light weight shoe-very comfortable for walking ( 3.5 miles daily)

Purchased these primarily for performance driving events. Light, thin soles provide excellent pedal feel and are great for heel-toe downshifting.

I purchased the Saucony bullet in size 14, my normal athletic size. GOOD FIT! I was surprised that my custom orthotics were able to fit into this low profile shoe. Very sleek very comfortable...

These are my second pair of Saucony Bullets. The Bullet is a retro design on a track shoe Saucony used to make. Don't let the minimalist appearance fool you; these are very comfortable kicks. While the outsole appears very thin, it is the removable insole that adds the impressive comfort to these shoes. The Bullet is super light, very flexible and offers a nice cush ride under foot. Like true track shoes, the Bullet will fit your foot like a glove. And like most track shoes, to get the best fit, you wear them barefoot or with a very thin sock. Such is true with the Bullet. Don't buy these shoes expecting to wear them with any kind of sock that's the least bit bulky; you'll be disappointed. The lacing does allow some adjustment but there's just not a lot of excess width. They do fit true to width but you have to wear them as they were originally designed to be worn; barefoot or with a very thin sock. The glove fit actually adds to the comfort of the shoes making them extensions of your foot. If you're a runner, and run in minimalist shoes, you'll understand what I'm talking about. While I wouldn't recommend the Bullet for running they do make some excellent driving shoes. Besides the all-day comfort of these shoes what I like best is their sleek style. Being modeled after a track shoe these are some of the sleekest casual kicks you can score. In keeping with its retro DNA, the Bullet is made almost completely of smooth, soft, nylon with a few suede and vinyl accents. The nylon has a smooth padded backing making them exceptionally comfortable to wear barefoot. They look fantastic paired up with your skinniest skinny jeans and work great paired with shorts. I have no idea what composition the thin rubber soles are made of. The soles offer sticky traction on almost any surface, especially smooth surfaces, and seem to wear like iron all while being exceptionally flexible. The soles will make some quite loud squeaks on occasion if you scuff or drag a foot unintentionally. Also, the insoles can tend to make some rather "farty" sounds as they rub against the interior vinyl of the heel cup. What I do is put a thin swipe of Vaseline on the back edge of the insole and heel cup area; no more "farts", good to go and lasts all day. Get rid of the "farts" and don't scuff your feet and these shoes are stealthy quiet. It seems as if Saucony has quit production on these shoes so if you think you might like a pair, get 'em now. I waited too long to score my second pair because when they first came out there were many colorways. I hope Saucony keeps making the Bullet.

I'm a size 9.5 and had to get these in a 10.5, which took reordering and returning 2 pairs. Inconvenient, but Zappos did make the return process easy. Also, their customer service rep's were always very nice, polite & helpful. The shoe is very nice & what I expected, definitely happy with it.

Love these. Having said that...if you plan on getting a pair. Pay attention to the width size. And my next pair (and I will 100% be getting another pair) I'll probably go a bout a half size bigger than my normal size.

Originally bought these shoes in white, and bought another pair in black 4 months later because I liked them so much. Thinking I'll replace my everyday Puma sneakers with these.

A nice casual shoe. Particularly like the low profile, light weight and comfort.

So perfect it’s my second pair of the same model. I wish there were more colors available.
