I looked for a long time for a colorful, stylish women's shoe that was athletic enough to wear to the gym, but cool enough to wear on the street. So excited to find these! I love that these are slim and hip. The green ones are amazing in real life--I just wish there was more variety in the other colors! I would own more than one pair of these if there were better selection in color otherwise. Would LOVE to see red or orange or some of those great color varieties you offer in the Jazz shoes.

Loved these shoes so much I bought another pair in another color. Very comfortable. Minimalist, but great for running around on the weekends.

My rolfer (massage therapist) recommended these shoes because of their flexibility and lightweight. She believes that we suffer from unnecessary foot, knee and back pain because we stuff our feet into these big 'bricks' of running shoes. I have been wearing these shoes to the gym and even to sprint classes. I love them. They feel like wearing lightweight ballet slippers. Not to mention, the cute retro style makes big feet look tiny. Can't wait to get them in all the different colors.

After reading the reviews for this shoe I originally ordered a half size larger than I normally wear. Turned out to be too big, even though my feet are a bit wide. I returned them and got my true size, finding them to fit a bit tight, but better than the half size larger. After wearing them a couple weeks they have begun to stretch to fit my foot very well. A very light shoe, with excellent cushioning. Oh yeah, and although they had a new-shoe-smell, it wasn't nearly as bad as I had expected after reading others' reviews. A good shoe!

I had the jazz originals for years and loved them. They were so comfortable! But after so many years, I wanted to update my shoes, so I decided on the bullet. Although thinner at the soul, I love these too. Very comfortable all around!

So comfortable! I had a pair of Saucony Jazz in high school and loved them so much, but I like how the Bullet has a more compact look. These are even cute with jeans. Highly recommend!

So cute. They are very bright though. The yellow laces and stripe are day glo, and the green is a very saturated teal color. It's a great, unique color combination. Narrow, thin sole, but still comfortable.

If you have a narrow foot this shoe is for you. I ordered my normal athletic shoe size 10 and was amazed at the fit. This is the first medium shoe that I can wear! Very comfortable and light! The sole is very thin, however. I felt the cold floor as I walked through the airport.

The shoes are great but the yellow should be described more as a neon or highlighter yellow.

I wanted a shoe that wasn't bulky. It had to be durable like gymshoe and super easy to get around the city fast!
I love this bullet! It is stylist sexy smart.
I will buy another pair - the black ones next.

This is the most complimented pair of shoes I've ever owned. They fit great, the colors are true. The only thing wrong? They smell! They've smelled since the day they came in the mail and very strong like a chemical. Other say they can't smell it, but I can. I hope this doesn't make me sound like the crazy smell lady (OK, it does) but it's the only thing about these shoes that bothers me!

These shoes are great! They feel like slippers and are great for walking. Just something to note: these run a bit small so order a half size bigger than what you normally get (that's what worked for me).

These are great lightweight shoes - I bought them for weight lifting because of the low heel.
The only thing about them that I do not like is that I find they smell really strong - way stronger than any other sneaker I have ever bought.

This is the 4th or 5th pair of Bullets I've had. I ordered the green and was surprised to find that the yellow stripe and laces are much brighter than they appear in the photo. It's the exact same shade of yellow that a cyclist would wear for visibility. It was nice that they came with an alternate pair of white laces, so I changed them out and the color is not as screaming. I'm normally a 6.5 and I always order a 7 in this shoe.

I got these shoes for running. I'm getting into minimalist footwear and these are great. This is my second pair, I trained for a year and ran a 10K in the first pair. They are low profile and flexible and they're really comfortable with minimal padding. No arch support, but that's what I like. This style is also soo cool with the purple and green colors. I love them! I'd highly recommend them! Both for running and for wearing around!

Run a little small; originally ordered my regular size but returned it for 1/2 size larger ... and ordered 3 pair. I wear them for casual running around and for work which is casual dress and where I am on my feet all day.

My shoes are super cute and comfortable. I agree they are not very padded, especially in the front of the foot. I wear them for work which is casual and not too much walking, or for shopping. I think I need the purple ones next!

I currently have 3 pairs of Bullet shoes. These aren't a highly padded shoe. They provide just enough padding & structure while not restricting my natural gait or weighing me down. The outsole is very durable; the insole is thin & flexible. Recommend them for relatively lightweight body types, people with a mid-foot stride/strike, scrambling over rough rocks and down steep inclines on nature walks & hikes, for fast-paced urban walks. Plus they look great for casual wear.
I run: when my greyhound wants to.

I normally buy the Jazz Originals but wanted something a little different this time. I ordered a 9 first but they were a little tight. I wear a 9 in the Jazz Originals. I returned the 9's and ordered 10's. The return process with zappos is a breeze, btw. The 10's at first seemed a little big but as I walked around in them they seemed to feel okay. I've been wearing them for over a month now and I love them! I think it just took me a while to adjust to the new style.

I love these shoes! I read other reviews about running small so I ordered a half size bigger than my usual size and they fit great. I used them all day right off the box. After I received my order I was these on a magazine as the recommended shoe for everyday use.
