Customer Reviews Saucony Grid® Propel Plus Nxgen

Great Shoe - I purchase new aerobic shoes every six months and for the past several years have only purchased Sauconys. This particular shoe fits well and I really like the stability the wider sole gives my ankles.

Super Comfy - Saucony has made another great sneaker! These have great cushioning and support for high arches. I have high arches and need a shoe with a lot of cushioning. My last few pairs of sneakers have been Sauconys, but this one by far has been the most comfortable with the most cushioning. I highly recommend this shoe for people with high arches that need the extra cushioning.

Good neutral running shoe - Great padding in front and back of foot, but arch support a little lacking and stiff.

Problem? I found these shoes to be very comfortable and well cushioned against hard heel strikes from my running. The only issue I had was that one of the rear pads on the tread actually tore off after 7 months. Luckily the retailer I bought them from gave me partial credit.

Great Shoe Unless you tend to get blisters on back of foot - These shoes are good shoes in many many regards. The problem I've had with them relates to the way that the back part of the shoe, which is stiff, slightly curves in. This curvature happens to rub blisters on the back of my foot. If you look at the photos of the shoe, you will see that the back part does curve in more than some other shoes. So, if you are someone who is bothered by blisters, this shoe may not work for you. Other than that issue, the shoe is very good. I have had to buy another shoe because I could not alleviate the blister problem.

Running shoe - I really like this shoe. I over-pronate and have an average to strong arch. I wasn't wowed when I first put this shoe on, but once I started running, boy was it nice. Not tons of support in the ball, but an additional insert helped that. I really felt it when I ran downhill. So much spring in the heel. My feet felt great when I was finished running. And I run on the road so it's more impact then on other surfaces. The size ran true for me. If I had to improve it, I would give additional cushioning at the front of the shoe since that is where I feel the most fatigue. Otherwise, well worth the $$ with great styling to boot.

I'm happy - My heels are thanking me.

Good Running Shoe - I am very pleased with these sneakers (though I do think I should have ordered a half-size smaller because they are a little big causing my feet to slide a little). Just like when shopping for clothes, it is difficult to know if something is an exact fit without trying it on first. I was very pleased with how quickly I received my purchase and the condition the sneakers were in when I got them. Thanks!

My feet are singing! Running hasn't felt this good in years! The bounce is back! The only problem I had was with my right heel, as this foot is a bit longer, the very back of my heel rubbed right along the edge of the heel support. I actually cut a small circle out of the back and PRESTO - it was perfect!!

Comfy but tight - This shoe makes my feet feel like I'm walking on a cloud! When I first wore them I felt that the heel was a bit tight. That loosened up after about 5 runs and doesn't bother me anymore. Overall I think it's a great shoe, my only complaint is that it is a little tough to break in.

Good shoe for someone with weird feet like me - I know I'm not your average runner and I'm extremely hard to fit, so I was so delighted to find these shoes. I'm completely flat footed, but I supinate severely, which I guess is not typical. I find most running shoes either put too much pressure on my non-existent arches or assume, because of the flat feet, that I pronate. Plus, I'm overweight so I need a lot of cushion. I found these shoes provide a lot of cushion and broad-based support without digging into where my arches should be. I only run about 3 miles/day 5 days/week on a treadmill, but I wear out my running shoes quickly. I wish I could comment on the longevity of the shoes, but I've only had them a couple of weeks. So far, so good. My only complaint about all the Sauconys I've owned is the lacing system. I wish the laces would slide more easily through their holes. These shoes, like all my others, have laces which get jammed in their holes, so it's not easy to loosen the shoes to get them off, or to evenly snug them up when you're putting them on.

Comfortable during under 5-mile runs - This pair of shoes is very comfortable from the moment you try them on. I am a die-hard Saucony fan and never buy any other brands since they are very roomy in the toe-box and I usually don't get blisters with Saucony. I went for a five-mile run the first time I tried them on and no hot spots or blisters. I am 5'6", 135lb, and wear orthotics. Because of the height of my orthotics, the shoes are slightly loose at the top of the heel, but unlike the Saucony Grid Omni 5 Moderate which are really tight around the heels and hurt initially; this new pair didn't give me any issues. However, when I go for longer than 5 miles, I felt that they did not provide enough cushioning at the ball of my feet. My feet started to ache there around mile 6+. For a shorter distance, I still would highly recommend them.

Not quite the same - Bought these because the last pair (exactly the same, except in color) was so comfy in the ball of the foot. Wore these the first day to an exercise class and didn't find them to have as much padding. Too late to send back as I had already worn them. Couldn't tell if they were of the same comfort when I wore them on my carpet at home.

Not as good as New Balance - To me there is not enough support as there is in New Balance. I have high arches and these shoes do not give the support like New Balance. My feet are still burning every day.

I really hate this pair. I had a pair of Saucony walkers and they were great. I saw reviews for runners since I wanted to take up running and took this pair. I am utterly disappointed. First they were terribly uncomfortable. It was very hard on the bottom of my foot and made me feel like I was wearing several sizes too small and walking on concrete, although the fit was fine. It was just extremely uncomfortable. It is true to size, if a little tight, probably because it's a narrow shoe. The look is EXACTLY as you see it advertised the color is no different or style, it is true to form. I would have nothing wrong if not for the fact that the sneaker is very uncomfortable. But Zappos had great delivery.
