Customer Reviews Saucony ProGrid™ Stabil CS 2

I'm still debating. I really liked them at first. A lot of support. I over pronate and since I walk 4 miles a day I really need the support if not I get terrible shin pain. I bought a pair of Mizunos and after about 100 miles they totally quit on me. I'm hoping these last longer. I had a pair of Saucony Hurricane 13 that I totally loved! These are wider and longer than normal. I actually would need a smaller size or at least an insole. They do have the flat bottom which I'm not too crazy about but nobody can notice it. Colors could be cuter but it's not bad.

I ordered these shoes and two pairs of Brooks at the advice of my podiatrist. This is the one I'm keeping and I thought it might help others in my situation if I explained why. First of all, it's comfortable, but any cushiony athletic shoe should be. If your athletic shoe isn't comfortable when you put it on, try another. You shouldn't have to break them in. My foot is wide in the forefoot, regular to narrow in the heel, and prone to pronation. I have a high instep and use a custom orthotic. I ordered a 10, Medium width. I usually wear a US size 9.5 - 10 or a Euro 41. This shoe fits perfectly in a 10M, and accommodates my orthotic just fine. Compared to the Brooks it is wider and higher in the toe box, which will be great for giving my toes a little room to breathe. There is absolutely no squishing of my toes, which has been a problem for me in the past (my narrow foot means wide width shoes don't work on me). The base of the shoe is really stable - I suppose that's why it's called the Stabil - and I feel like it would be very difficult for me to turn my ankle in them. As far as looks, well, athletic shoes are only going to look so good. I don't envision myself wearing this for any purpose other than exercise, so the looks weren't important. That said, it's a little jazzy with the metallic-ish silver finish and the vibrant pink trim. So, if you have foot problems similar to mine, this style is worth a spin.

This a good shoe for those with pronation problems. This is the 2nd pair I have purchased. Am not a distance runner, more like a healthy jogger.

I used to have lots of foot pain. I am currently on my 4th pair of this model and can't say enough about how great they are. The support is perfect without being overly rigid, and they wear very well.

Shoe runs a little small, so I ordered a half size bigger. But it is the best one I've tried in quite a while. Very comfortable and great to have it in a wide width for bunion.

These shoes are adorable and therapeutic. Nothing seemed to prevent or help my plantar fasciitis except these. They are not the cushy cloud type shoes most athletic shoes are. They allow you to remain active while controlling your pronation and preventing another injury or flare-up. I love them.

I had last years ProGrids and loved them, I have arthritis and these have been the best shoes for my feet because they do not bend a lot. Like this years model even better than last years because the heel back is softer and narrower so my heels stay put and don't slip. Have to use a shoe horn, but it is worth the fit.

I have a neuroma on one foot and hammertoes and bunions on both feet. My podiatrist recommended a store and the clerk chose these for me. With my orthodics and these, I have tremendous pain relief and am able to do a lot of walking! I wear them whenever I can and wish I could find a dress shoe that had the same feeling.

These are great sneakers for a severe overpronator. I was wearing the Saucony Hurricanes for years but then they redesigned the shoe with a much smaller toe box. These Stabils have ample room in the toe and are great for running and cross training. I was really happy that these also came with the old arch lock. These are bulky shoes though so although they protect the integrity of your foot and stride, they do not allow for quick feet.

Its really hard for me to find good sneakers for exercising and these are great. I am a severe overpronator. I have orthotics. I also don't want to wear leather. So as you can imagine, this seriously limits my options. lol. But these fit perfectly with the orthotics in. I can actually feel them correcting my walk, so that I'm walking on the correct part of my foot. I love the hot pink, but the overall color is a bit... louder... than I'd like. But I'll take it! Previously I had the Brooks Addiction, which I also really liked. The difference so far I've found is that this Saucony shoe feels a bit harder and less giving than the Brooks, so that may or may not be your thing.

These are the most solidly supportive Saucony shoes I've come across -- I thought Hurricane was the best, but this tops it. The stability has support in the arch and on the outside of the foot so you feel kept in place. It's well-cushioned. The shape is a wider oval, so if you're looking for a wider toe box than many Saucony shoes have, you'll like this one. But if you have narrow feet (narrower than average; you typically wear an A), then they might not hold you in place.

In my search for a replacement for my beloved Saucony Progrid Ride 5's, I tried this shoe. I believe I may have gotten a defective pair as there was a high ridge on the outside of the right shoe. Immediately painful. Back it goes.

I've worn Saucony for over ten years. The latest adaptation of the ProGrid Stabil fits great. Only problem, my toe wore through the extremely thin mesh in about a week. I've had this happen before, but usually it's after a few months of running. Now debating trying another shoe.

Had to return these sneakers. I ordered a wide sneaker. Great support. I got an infected blister and bruise the entire length of the outside of my foot. I had to stop going to the gym to let it heel. How frustrating.

These really hurt my feet. They are heavy and clunky. Going back to my NB!
