I wish these came in wide widths - unlike so many sneakers, these were very cute. While they were mostly comfortable overall, I ended up returning them because they pinched my little toes. A wide width would've fixed that, and as much as I love the style and overall comfort, I simply won't rate a style without wide widths above a 3. I agree with the reviewers who said that they had very little arch support, but since I wear orthotics anyway, that didn't bother me.

These shoes have underwhelmed me, which is disappointing because they look so cute in the picture! The reviews said they felt small and to order a size up, but I could have gotten at least a half-size smaller than I usually get and been fine. They are not poorly-made, but they are barely there, as in not enough support to walk around all day. I mean, my flip-flops have a thicker sole. The size is nice, because they're not bulky, but my feet hurt sometimes after a one-hour Zumba class wearing them. Lastly, the space between the toe area and the laces seems sort of shapeless and awkward, not creating a dynamite look. Its like the whole shape of the shoe is sort of off. I wish I would have returned them since I'm less than psyched, but its too late now.

These are a cute, comfortable shoe. Glad I ordered 1/2 size larger though. To this point, I have not worn them out of the house. Unfortunately, they have a terrible smell and I cannot seem to get rid of it. I have aired them out and now I have put "sneaker balls" in them to see if these help. I am not sure if this is some type of chemical odor or the materials. I will never buy these shoes again online. Possibly if I see them in a store and can be assured they do not have that horrible smell I would consider buying another pair. I have not worn them out of the house yet!

For all those folks out there into the "minimalist" shoe thing, save ya dolla billz and buy these. These were minimalist before minimalist was a thing. The fit like a glove and are thin and flexible. They took some getting used to because you can feel texture through the sole. I love how snug and cute they are and as a true-blue sneaker wearer, they still work on a fashion level. My only complaint -- with all that thin flexible comes quick break down. I've had these shoes for a year and a half and they have pretty much completely fallen apart. The canvas has torn on the top (nowhere near a "heavy wear" spot)and stuffing has come out of the lip of shoes pretty much completely. I'm a frugal fanny environmentalist, so I have a lot of shoes that have stood the test of time, including Nike high tops and these have been some of my worst offenders. Some of you out there may consider a year and a half a good run, I, however, would have liked to have seen these go longer. Cute as the dickens, though.

The shoes are super comfy, but their color is not settled beige that I hoped for, but closer to yellow. The shoes look ridiculous on me. Disappointed with the style.

I bought these shoes to use while drumming with my drum set (base drum and high-hat steel pedals). I wanted something that would be as light as possible and that contoured my food closely like being barefoot. These worked well for that though they were a bit narrower than anticipated so I wear thin socks and that works. I have a size 10 foot, long and narrow from years of running. These shoes good for mostly indoor use and minimal outdoor use as their materials are light weight and the sole is also minimal. The support system is light so this shoe is just a cut above a sandal. They are stylish, however, so they look good on anyone with a big foot.

I love the look of these shoes, the color and the design are great. However, there is little to no support or shape to the bottom sole. The shoes are much lighter that I thought and often make a weird clicking noise from the rubber type sole. I have always loved Saucony athletic shoes, but this is nothing like one.

Overall, a pretty little lightweight shoe. I have a narrow foot so the width was good, but there wasn't quite enough cushion for them to be comfortable when running, especially near the toes. Also, the rubber on the bottom squeaks like crazy on linoleum floors.

Super cute style, but the soles are PAPER thin. I would be afraid of stepping on something sharp if I was wearing these.

I liked the low profile look and they feel very light. But you can also feel every pebble on the ground and felt like it din't even have a sole.

So cute but very narrow and my big toe was smushed. I always wear a 9.5 but in these I would need a 10. This was without socks.

Those sneakers run small. Order at least one size up. If you don't have perfectly lined up toes, if toe next to a thumb toe is bigger - those sneaks will not fit. Color is bit off than on pic. Its more blue than slate. Overall - cool style, but unfortunately not for my feet.

I wear a size 8.5 in women’s shoes. I couldn’t even get my toes into the size 8.5 I ordered in these shoes. I sent them back and ordered a size 9 instead. Same thing! These shoes run TINY! Size up at least 2 sizes if you want to try them. Good luck!

Cute style but zero support. Might as well have been wearing flip flops. I'm an 8.5 and went up to a 9 based on other reviews which were accurate but I'm sending them back because I don't want to feel like I'm walking around barefoot.

these were surprisingly small, flat, & narrow. The other Saucony shoes if the exact same size I bought in the same order fit completely differently.

These are nice looking everyday shoes. I was looking for closer to a zero drop pair though; the heels and even the insoles are built up so that my weight was pushed to the front of my feet. That issue threw my posture off a little. I would have kept the shoes just for running but I already have good running shoes.

I am disappointed. They run small and seem flimsy to me-almost like wearing a slipper

Have worn Saucony Pro Grids for years but want another Saucony style. These have a nylon top and the left one was puckered. It was a manufacturing defect that couldn't be straightened out. Also, the footbed seemed a bit to wide and the shoes made noise flexing when I walked around the house.
Am now trying another style, all leather Jazz. I like Saucony; will keep trying.

These shoes are adorable & I love the minimalist design, however, ran too small for me - had to return them. Bought my favorite Tiger Mexico 66s again instead.

I ordered these a half size up and they fit well length-wise. I didn't like how they felt to walk in, they just weren't comfortable. The heel also rubbed and irritated my ankle. I returned them.

Did not work for me. Maybe I ordered the wrong size? Too small and too narrow. I didn’t mess around with ordering again and gave them to my sister.

Had to return this item as it hurt my arches within an hour or two of wearing. Too narrow for my wider feet.
