Customer Reviews Saucony Originals Bullet

super cute. hardly any support

I liked the look and lighter weight, but they ran tight and narrow.

Loved the style and fit but had to return because the back rubs on my heel. Looks cute without socks but can't handle the rubbing. Ran just slightly small too.

I have been a Saucony wearer for a long time and this shoe was just not for me. All looks good out of the box but no support and ran full size too small, reordered but still did not like. Thanks Zappos for being a wonderful company to work with. Still a Saucony wearer but just not this shoe.

Eh, these shoes are not made too well. They hold up but you can tell the craftsmanship is not there. They are also not very supporting. I wouldn't get these for utilitarian purposes.

Took these shoes out of the box and decided to give them a test walk. Ten minutes into the walk, I feel that dreadful pain that happens when a cute shoe starts digging into your heel. I really wanted to love these shoes, but they felt so much better when I took them off. My search for the perfect pair of sneakers continues.

I wanted to like these but they were an odd fit and made my feet feel very hot. That could be a good thing in a cooler climate but not for Phoenix and not in the summer. The retro look was nice and the price point was excellent but I had to return them.

I like the way they look and they are comfortable especially considering they are semi-affordable. There is only a very thin layer of cushion in the front of the shoe. It can feel a little off balance compared to the larger cushion in the back of the shoe.

I've had these shoes for five weeks. I love the style but the bottom has already separated from the suede at the toe box. I plan to glue them back together and see if that helps. I wear them frequently so if you don't wear them too often they may last longer. I wanted to wear something more stylish and versatile than old running shoes but old running shoes definitely are more durable.

I love the look and style of these shoes. However, they are not ideal for doing any type of working out in. They are more every day shoes. Not long distance walking, even.

These shoes are adorable. I was looking for something to wear to run errands in or be casual, but not too "athletic" looking. These certainly fit the bill, but were very very narrow and had no support. They would probably work well for crossfit or something, but to walk around in for any time.

Bought this shoe more for its style. In receiving it, the green strip is not the same color shade as shown online. It's a much darker green. The shoe runs small and very narrow. It's nice that it is super light weight. I think it's a good spring/summer casual shoe. However, it's so light and thin and simple that I think the price is too high for this shoe. I would not order another pair.

Comfortable, but not particularly attractive. A little but too low profile for my taste. There wasn't enough structure to the shoe for my liking, especially as viewed from the top. May be perfect for a younger, hipper person. I'm 40 and feel too old to pull-off this shoe.

Shoe runs very short; had to exchange for a half size larger. They are fairly wide in the forefoot, but overall are very comfortable.

Love the look of this shoe, but I wear a 7-7.5 and I returned the 7.5 for an 8. The retro style is cute. The color is darker than pictured, but in a good way. This shoe runs a bit narrow and short. If you have wide feet, this is not for you.

I'm so bummed these didn't work out! I have the Saucony Original Jazz Low Pros and I love them. I've had Saucony running shoes in the past, too, so I know they typically fit me really well. I ordered the same size that I have in the Low Pros and it wasn't big enough. My big toe was hitting the front of the shoe. So, I ordered half a size up (one full size bigger than I normally wear) and it still wasn't enough room in the big toe. Rats! These are going back, unfortunately. I really like how they looked and while they didn't have as much cushion as the Low Pros, they seemed like they would be comfortable. Oh well.

I own other Saucony shoes and ordered my normal size in these, but they were too short. My big toe was rubbing against the front of the shoe. Sadly, I have to send them back and keep my fingers crossed that they are available in the next half-size again some day. They look awesome, just are a little too short.

I really liked the look of this shoe, a low profile sneaker and wanted to love them. But it was a snug fit even without socks and it just didn't have much going for it. I even wear a pair of "barefoot" shoes. So not looking for tons of structure and support but somehow these just didn't do anything for my feet.

These felt a bit cheap to me. I also ordered some Onitsuka Tigers, and I was far more impressed with those. The Saucony shoe felt very lightweight, but it lacked any serious support. It also felt narrow in the toe while fitting in my heel. Just not a good shoe for my foot. I did really love the design, though.

I've worn these shoes for years, and recently the size and shape changed. I used to order a half-size up (8 to 8.5 based on other feedback). But recently Saucony has changed the sizing and now the shoe is too big. So, warning to longtime fans, the sizing has changed so order your normal size. Unfortunately they have sold-out in my size. This really messed me up because now I don't have a walking shoes for my trip. Major bummer.

I wear a 10.5 women's, but can sometimes wear a 10 if roomy. The 11 was really a bit long and made my foot look strange. I knew these shoes wouldn't be supportive, but I just wasn't that impressed. I sent both pairs I tried back, the grey and these. Bummer!

NOT GOOD FOR CROSSFIT! Despite previous reviews, this shoe's narrow sole is not appropriate for cross-fitting.

I bought these for running around the house (not running) as my tile floors are killing me lately. I'm usually an 8, and ordered an 8.5 as I typically do for athletic shoes. The width is average, and the small arch hits the right spot. However, the toe area is kind of weird and pointy. I have longer toes relative to my feet, and still feel like this odd piece of extra length might trip me if I'm not careful. I am able to fit a 3/4 insole in them for extra support.

Wow. There is nothing to these, especially in the forefoot. Paper-thin. If you're into minimalist running, or just wearing cute shoes while sitting down, or need something you can pull on and off at the airport without fussing with the laces, then these might work for you. But I could feel the texture of my hardwood floor through the ball of my foot, and think these would be utterly horrible for any sort of walking, indoors or out. I tried them with a Sole brand orthotic, too, but they were too narrow and shallow for it. If you're a Saucony Jazz (original or low) fan and just hoping for a different look with the same Saucony comfort, keep looking. And these run a wee bit small. If you're trying to decide between an 8 and an 8.5, I'd go up.

Loved these shoes when I got them. Super comfy, looked great, very lightweight and went with everything. Not something for working out or running b/c there isn't much support, but they're very light and comfy for everyday casual use - you almost feel like there's nothing on your feet. *However, my only problem with them, is that after only a few months a hole began to wear in each shoe over each big toe. I had the same problem with TWO OTHER pairs of Sauconys. And yes, I wear socks and have normal groomed toenails, so I don't know what's up with that. I love the look of Sauconys, but my experience has been that they don't hold up well. I don't think I'd buy them again.
