Customer Reviews Saucony Grid V2

Perfect! Very comfy - slipped my orthotics in and wore them all day at work with no problems at all. And I think maybe they made my (size 12!) feet look smaller.

Shoes came on time and were absolutely perfect for my mother, who is a nurse. She wanted shoes she could walk in all day, every day and these are her new favorites!

These are a great pair of shoes. They are so comfy right out of the box. No need to wear them in either. They are so cushiony that I don't worry about my legs or feet hurting after a hard aerobic workout. I use these for my high impact aerobics and they keep my feet comfortable all the way through the workout. The cushion part of the shoe is fantastic because when my feet hit the ground from jumping up and down; they don't hurt because when I land the cushion of the shoe softens the landing and that is so great. Less injury during workouts. I plan on buying a second pair to use as everyday shoes because they are so comfortable and also because I'm on my feet all day and these shoes do the job of keeping my feet and legs comfortable.

Bought these as a replacement to my Saucony Nitro Grids and they are amazing! They have survived 3-a-day workouts of kickboxing, cross fit, & high impact cardio classes. Once again, Saucony has not let me down & I love that I finally have a pair of black gym sneakers that go with everything. Plus, hats off to customer service for upgrading my shipping at no additional cost & for making my shopping experience so easy!

Great cross training shoes! The sides of the shoes are very supportive so when I am in Tabata class I can easily move laterally without fear of a "rollover". The upper part of the shoe was a little stiff at first, but it may have been just me getting used to new shoes.

These shoes are really sturdy and supportive. I'm not winning any fashion awards at my workout classes with them, but I needed something that wouldn't make my feet hurt and I love Saucony. My only complaint is they are quite heavy. I have gotten multiple bruises from kicking myself in the shins with them.

Overall it's a good shoe for the price. Nice, very stylish. Not sure about the shiny black patent leather part on the top. Seems a little much for a sneaker. Shoes fits well, feels good. Could use a little extra padding inside for comfort. It was by no means uncomfortable but mustn't wasn't as cushy as many of the new shoes I've had before. Overall, I love it. Wear it often and don't have issue with it.

Great sneakers for gym use. They were comfy from the start and didn't need to be broken in. These sneakers are as black as they look in the picture so if you don't like the look of black sneakers, these may not be for you. THe only minor complaint I have is that either the last set of 'eyelets' is too high or the tongue a tad bit short. When lacing them up it is easy to have the laces slip under the tongue.

These sneakers, which I use primarily for walking, were true to size. They could use a little more arch support - but I have a high arch.

Saucony Grid v2 is not as comfortable shoes as the other Saucony shoes that I have. However, I kept them because after my workout, my feet are not feeling stress. That's for me, as a person who workouts at least five times a week for about 2.5 hours/day, means a lot.

Comfortable walking shoe, my only complaint is that it comes up high at the ankle, it was uncomfortable when laced all the way up but easily remedied when unlaced one lower than the top.

I bought these sneakers to strength train and use in step aerobics & cardio kickboxing classes. They're super comfy and provide ample cushioning for my heels/ball of the foot. This is my third pair of Saucony sneakers - I think they run a little small so I always order up a half size. This pair seems to be a bit tighter/narrower at the ankle so I just tie the laces a looser at the top. All in all a great shoe at a great price point.

I got these shoes for working out. I find them really comfortable to walk in, but notice some foot pain when using the elliptical or bike at the gym. I now just use them when on the treadmill or out for a walk. They are rather stiff, which I like because they provide great ankle support, but they not ideal to wear when I am doing a lot of lateral movement or twisting with cardio kickboxing.

Very happy with these. Good basic multi-purpose sneaker...Zumba, kick boxing etc. comfortable and good support.

The Grid V2s are a sleeker, less clunky Saucony than others I've had. They are also lower on the ankle. I found them to run more narrow than other Saucony styles (Ignition, Cohesion, etc.)

The shoe was comfortable and fit well, but I didn't care for the suede running all the way to the bottom of the sole on the instep.

Good looking and well sized tennis shoe, so wanted this one to fit! But alas, to much heel slippage for me.

Love Saucony fit and have bought many pairs, but this style was a smaller fit (toes hit the front) and lower cut at the ankle. Had to return.

I love the way Saucony fits the bottom of my foot. The arch is perfect! I like this shoe and wear it only for workouts. That being said, I do have a problem with it. The top of this shoe is high and rigid and it hits my foot in the wrong spot. I had to unlace the top hole so I don't get the support I probably should. I chose to keep the shoe because I need the arch support more.

Unfortunately, I am very disappointed in this shoe. Let me start off by saying that I have flat feet and pronation. I had no foot pain until I reached middle age, then suddenly by day's end the pain was excruciating. So, off to the podiatrist I went. Yep, plantar fasciitis and toe tendinitis caused by my flat feet. The podiatrist recommended three brands of running shoes with orthotics; one of those brands was Saucony. Now, my employer requires that black shoes/sneakers be worn. It is not an easy task finding black running shoes that aren't adorned with neon green, pink or orange. I was so happy to find the original Grid Virtue, black for work, so comfortable and with my orthotic, eased my foot pain significantly. When I heard they were to be discontinued, I purchased all I could find. Fast forward to today, I'm down to my last pair of Grid Virtue so I need to find a replacement. I was relieved to see the Grid V2 as the successor to the Grid Virtue. I purchased a pair expecting the same comfort as the Grid Virtue. I am afraid that is not the case. The Grid V2 is pretty much a carbon copy of the Grid Virtue, except for the tongue. I have no idea why Saucony would do this, but they made the tongue significantly shorter and narrower. There is no longer any padding from the tongue to prevent the side of the shoe from digging in below the ankle. The tongue is so short that it slips underneath the laces when walking, causing pain on top of the foot. I don't know what in the world Saucony was thinking. Maybe they needed to remove some material and padding to keep the shoe at the same price as its predecessor. I for one would have been happy to pay a little more for a comfortable shoe.

They are comfortable and have great support. The only draw back is that after a couple of weeks of wearing them they start to squeak. I bought a 2nd pair thinking it was just that pair, but nope, the second pair is starting to squeak now! I really wish they wouldn't! Saucony has always been my favorite but I've only bought runners & walkers so I've never had a problem until I bought these cross trainers! :-/

These shoes have a close, tight fit with a lot of support - too much for me. They felt too stiff. They do look surprisingly okay on your foot though - was concerned the all black would look like special-order orthotic shoes, but they don't.

Love the look, but rubs on my heels more than I think a new shoe should. I'm hoping they will break in very soon since I've worn them too much to return.

I did not like these shoes at all. They seem to push my feet forward so that my toes are jammed into the toe box. I wear them for zumba and I have to kick them off about half way through the class because my feet are asleep. They are mildly comfortable to walk in, but they feel slippery inside (which does not help when my feet are pushed forward). I am bummed about these shoes because I do like the brand.

I wanted to love these shoes because of the style and Saucony has fit well for me before, but I had issues with heel slippage in these shoes. I tried lock lacing them and was still experiencing slippage in the right shoe, so I'm going to have to look for something else.
