I am a true 5.5 and bought the burgundy ones in both 5.5 and 6. The sole felt good on my flat foot, but I'm still going to say it has no arch support. The color matched what I saw on my iMac laptop, too. However, I agree with the other reviewer who said the sizing was weird. The 5.5 was a quarter size too small, so my toes were too close to hitting the end of the shoe. Then the 6 was weirder--the proportions of the shoe fit like a 6 until you got to the toe box. That was almost a full inch longer than my foot. So, I guess that kind of averages out to being true to size. Because of this, neither size worked out for me, so I'm returning both.

Perfect travel companion if you need a lightweight sneakers... Good for walking but not for running. Nice color options. True to size.

The color wasn’t what I was expecting. They almost look pink, not beige. And, the Saucony stripe on the side is white and shiny, not tan.

Too small. Bought my usual size, wore once and got big blisters. Definitely order a size up!

These are really cute sneakers but I found them to be a tight squeeze. I ordered these in size 8, which is on the bigger end of the sizes I tend to wear 7.5 -8. I chose not to reorder them in a bigger size because I wanted more support in the padding for a lot of walking.

Very cute, but they do feel like your walking on uncushioned flats rather than a sneaker. I'll keep them since they weren't very expensive, but definitely use some other insoles to make them more comfortable.

These are the cutest shoes! I loved them out of the box -- everything I wanted them to be in terms of looks. And they were pretty comfy, too. Only weird thing is that the sole things out significantly in the front towards the toe. Felt like there was no support at all on the front half of my foot. I'm sure there's someone that works for, but sadly, it's not me.

bought these as a replacement for my old standbys (saucony jazz originals) which annually wear out in the right big toe. I'm on my feet, walk ~ 5-10 miles or bike 10-20 miles daily.
pros:
* lightwight
* quick to dry
cons:
* heels rubbed ~ 1.5 weeks till broken in. All my socks have holes in the heels now too
* squeaky (don't try to be stealthy with these
* after 3-4 months, the stitching in the right big toe came undone followed by the stitching at the right outer crease (where the foot bends)
* not the best on ice traction (great on dry pavement on warm days!)

I did a lot of research for my new casual shoes and loved the style of these. They do run small. I'm an 8.5 AA narrow and usually have to fit in 7.5 or 8 for most US shoe brands. However, I would definitely take an 8.5 in these since they are narrow (which is nice). I'm returning them mainly because they squeak when I walk - a deal breaker for me.

I found this shoe to be quite narrow and snug. I wear a 9.5 and ordered that, my toe was pushing against the front of the shoe. I also didn’t care for the material. Ended up returning.

These were really cute! Unfortunately, they did not fit my wide foot at all. Such a shame, because they looked great, and I really liked the pair of Saucony Jazz sneakers I had a few years ago.

I tried so hard love this shoes, as I do love the color. I initially ordered 7.5 since most of the reviews indicated that it was true to size, that didn't work well for me. I returned and ordered size 8 but again I was disappointed that it doesn't fit well. I had to bid farewell to saucony for good.

Bummed. I usually wear Vans or Converse. Hoped these we're gonna rock my world but, nope.
Pro's - GREAT looking.
Con's - 1/2 size smaller. Width is rather narrow.
If only Vans/Converse had a little arch support...

These gave me a terrible blister upon wearing them for one walk with my dog, so they are going back. They are cute but for me they did not work.

These are very flimsy shoes. The fabric is essentially parachute material and the shoe has no support. However, if you want a very light shoe...then this is the one for you! They are cute, but I wouldn't be able to walk all day in them. Returned.

I first liked these so much, I ordered another pair. As the spring and summer wore on, I found myself choosing them less and less, and now I feel they do run small.
I just put both pairs in the donation bag, a shame because they are hardly worn. I am really frustrated, My dress shoe size is a 9 and 1/2, I usually wear an 11 in sneakers, which I bought in these. I would buy another pair if they came in an 11 and 1/2, but there is no way I am ordering a 12. Why do manufacturers ignore half sizes for women with large feet? :(

These felt kind of stiff and uncomfortable to me. They were too tight in the toe from top to bottom, not the end.

I am a true size 9 and found these super small. The Black/Silver comes with both white and grey laces. The insert comes out easily. I use a 3/4 high arch insole, which leaves my toes lots of room, but these shoes feel so thin and hard up at the front, but I guess that is the compromise with such a lovely low profile. The toe area isn't as roomy or boxy as I would have liked, but I will try a size larger and see how that goes. It's almost a little pointy, because my big toe has room in front of it, but none on the side. And my pinky toe definitely contacts the shoe everywhere. FYI the nylon parts of the shoe look like shiny backpack material. I would have preferred a nice canvas.

I'm a typical size 7, but in these for some reason the 7 felt too tight and the 7.5 was too large. Oh well.

I am really disappointed with this purchase. I first bought these in my usual size 6. I had to return them because they were too small. Felt almost a full size to small. So I got the 6.5. Took these on a trip last week. Too big! Feel almost a full size too big. And the shoe makes noise when I walk in it because of too much room in the toe box. I'd return them but I've already worn them.

I've book Asics before but they too have changed their sizing.
