Customer Reviews Saucony Kilkenny XC4 (Flat)

This shoe in size 12 is one full size smaller than marked. It felt like a size 11 shoe. Too, bad it is quite a good looking shoe. I could not recommend this style shoe because of the size difference.

These are great and the size was right, they're very comfortable and lightweight, and cute! I have a custom orthotic that I have to wear all the time, and that fit fine with these. Also they are all man-made so if you're looking for an athletic shoe with no leather, this is a good one.

These shoes are very narrow, so I sent the first pair back and got a larger size and they were perfect. This is a great, lightweight shoe that my daughter loves!

Love the shoe. I use them for running and at the cross fit gym. They fit so much better than the big boxy type of running shoe. I did order 1 size up and thought they were to tight so I sent those back for an 8.5. I wish I would have kept the 8 these have almost to much room. Walk around inside for a bit they seem to almost stretch and conform to your foot before deciding if they are to small/big. I have not had any I-T band syndrome since running in these shoes.

Racing Flats are the best shoes for training and running! I had a pair of XC3 and had to get these as soon as I saw them. They feel just as good and have a little more room! They are great for barefoot training!

These are super comfortable. I did get blisters on my heels, but I usually do with new shoes. I love that the front isn't all mesh as I must run with toes up and usually ruin the mesh right away. These still look great even after a month of use!

I usually wear a size 11 but since I know some brands run small I decided to order a size 12. They fit perfectly. So my advice would be to order a full size up. The bright neon green is pretty cool looking. Also, the fit is comfortable and the shoe breathable. I rated it overall with 4 stars because although it is comfortable, it doesn't have a ton of cushion in the sole and the exterior is not very protective but rather breathable and mesh-like. It just depends on what you're looking for. But I'm going to use these shoes to just wear around. I probably wouldn't run in them though since they don't have much cushion for impact. I really do love the color.

The other reviews of this shoe indicate that it runs small. It runs tiny. I am typically a 6.5/7, and my foot is probably a smidge on the wide side. I bought the 7, which did not fit at all. Then the 7.5 -- my toe was nearly poking out of the end. I've just ordered the 8, so fingers crossed! The shoe itself is super lightweight and seems like it will feel great once I get the right size. At least they have free returns!

I just started running in October 2011 and it took a few sneakers to find what best worked for me. The Saucony Kilkenny XC4 is perfect. The shoe is very light. I normally wear a women's 11 but needed this in a size 12. I have a wide foot, but did not need a size wide. I am following the Galloway half marathon training and would highly recommend this running shoe.

Love these sneakers! Very comfortable to run in although they do run a full size smaller so I had to initially return the first pair and reorder a size up! Worth it plus Zappos rocks cause it's free shipping! Love the style!

As other customers said, you need to buy a whole size than yours. They are very comfortable and cool. Every time I used them receive a lot of good comments.

Great sneakers but they were a bit snug. I'm a size 8 1/2 in every other Saucony I've owned and need a 9 1/2 in these.

These are very cool shoes! I've worn Saucony running shoes for many years (like the wide toe box, excellent cushioning and support) but I wanted something lightweight that I could also wear for training. These are perfect, very light, very flexible and extra-cool colors (with even a change of shoelaces included). I do always get a half-size larger than regular shoes. And, as usual, they arrived about 2 seconds after I ordered them. Zappos remains supreme...

Love these Sauconys! It's a brand I always trust, and continue to do so with this purchase. Lightweight, comfie. The only advice I have is to follow the other reviews and buy a size (or size and a half) up. I usually wear an 8 but got these in a 9.

Great Cross-country racing flat but it does run 1/2 to 1 full size smaller than regular Saucony running shoes.

I love these shoes! Lightweight and super comfortable. And they come with pink laces in case you want to replace the black ones (which I did; adds some fun pizzazz to the shoe). I'm a horrible runner, just trying to train for measly 5K with my daughter, but for me these are great. Based on other reviews, I ordered a full size up from my usual (ordered a 10.5 instead of 9.5) and they fit perfectly.

I have always worn Adidas sneakers and thought I would try something new. These are definitely a full size smaller. I take 7½ in everything, this will be my third order and will end up with an 8½ sneaker. I love the sneaker, but order a full size bigger than your normal sneaker.

I ran 13 miles in these shoes the first day I got them. I prefer track shoes because they are so much lighter than running shoes.

I am not a runner but purchased these to wear when I attend Zumba classes and any other classes I attend at the gym. These are perfect as they are very light and allow my feet to breathe. I normally wear a size 8, but I ordered an 8.5; however, I had to exchange them for a size 9. Very rarely do I ever need to go up a shoe size, so these definitely run small! Zappos customer service is top notch; they quickly processed my exchange, and I'll be receiving the new pair in just 2 days. Love the color of these shoes too!

My 12 year old daughter runs XC in these, and she's happy with them (loves the color, too). They do run small, even for flats. I found the same on mine; this is the only shoe I've ever run in at an 11. I bought mine for an occasional XC run and for CrossFit. Low drop and not over structured makes them great for CF at half the price of most CF specific shoes.

These shoes are adorable and I bummed that I have to return them. But even stuffing them with various orthotics they're still just too flat and flimsy for my feet. If you're the sort of person who can run around all day in ballet flats or flip flops, these are the shoes for you. For me it's back to my Danskos and Chacos, though...

These shoes were very narrow. I had to return them - they didn't work for my feet at all.

These shoes rock! They are seriously, without a doubt, the most comfortable pieces of footwear that I have ever owned. It is sad that I have waited over 20 years to finally own a pair of comfortable work-out shoes, but finally I feel like I have found my foot mate, for life! Thanks to these babies, I have lost 15 pounds so far doing Tae Bo, jogging, and going on daily walks, comfortably. Per other reviews, I ordered one size larger. I am an 8½, ordered a 9½, and they fit like a glove. I am very happy with my purchase!

I originally ordered these in a 6 but had to exchange them for 6.5. First time I've ever had to exchange a 6 for a larger size so they do run a half size small. BTW, zappos exchange was a very pleasant experience and the larger size arrived the very next day. What a great company! Anyway, I love the flat/low profile shoes like these as they just feel and look better to me. The teal is gorgeous! The shoes are very comfortable. I'm wearing them as we speak!

Loved these shoes -- I had read other reviews that said they ran small so I ordered a size larger than normal. That was perfect! Very comfortable, liked the look. I would recommend for sure!
