Customer Reviews Saucony Kids Jazz HL (Toddler/Little Kid)

Zappos service great per usual. Shoes are meh for my 6-year-old son. Pretty lame, even for school gym locker shoes. I was not thrilled. Kind of narrow and hard to pull on. Bare bones - no pull tab at heel. I should've spent a bit more money. You get what you pay for.

I love these shoes - they're cute and my son finds them comfortable. I wanted to post this review as a heads up that the pair we got my son wore through the toe very fast. Purchased August 21 - the leather on toe area had worn through to the mesh support fabric beneath by November 10. Yes, he's 2.5 years old and tough on shoes, but I still think you should get more than 3 months of wear from a child's shoe. Hopefully this is an anomaly of the pair we got, but FYI.

My daughter is 4 and has feet a size smaller than most of her friends, but I still can't get the velcro on this to go all the way across without her yelping. I can get them on and secure, though. They are good in the length, but they are snug around and I am having a hard time convincing her to wear them more so that they will loosen up. But they are so darn cute. I love them, so I'm going to keep trying.

Our son loves these shoes so we got a new pair when he grew out of the last pair. These ones seem more poorly made like the sole might come unglued really soon. Time will tell.

My son wanted red shoes for Kindergarten. They had to have velcro so we were happy to find these. However, now that he has them he doesn't like to wear them because they trip him up. We are going to stick to Nikes from now on.

I really wanted to like these. They look so cute online, and the reviews were great. My son has a regular to wide foot, my daughter, regular. I ordered their current size, and also in a half size larger. My son was a no-go, he said both were too small, even when the velcro wasn't closed all the way. My daughter could only get her foot in the half size larger. Also, these shoes just looked cheap. Both pairs of hers had defects in the back where the sneaker meets the sole. Maybe it was the color (navy for him, brown/pink for her), but they just looked...cheap. For reference, their other shoes are New Balance 993s and See Kai Runs. Sadly, all these are going back. :(

These shoes run on the smaller size. My daughter is a size 5 and her foot was pushing the edge. In her Stride Rite shoes size 5 her foot is fine. These also run on the tighter side. Go a 1/2 or size bigger. These are cute but the sole is not as flexible.

These are very cute shoes and my son, who has wide feet, loves them! And they are easy to get on. For toddler shoes, though, they are very inflexible. That is not very good for growing feet! Next time I eill go back to Stride Rite or Pediped.

First pair fell apart at seams of Velcro strap within a month. Zappos sent us a replacement and the replacement fell apart in the same place but lasted a few months longer this time. This is a weak spot on the shoe for sure. The rest of the shoe has a lot of wear left.

Although these shoes are really cute and looks like they are made well, they DO NOT have arch support. (not sure why other people even chose the "moderate support" when rating them) They do have some heel support. I bought these shoes based on the fit survey and I'm quite disappointed. I was looking for shoes that must have arch support and these do not. :( I guess the only shoes that actually have arch support for kids are those that are made in Europe. Toddlers and kids MUST have good supportive shoes (for arch and heel) so their feet develop properly, (pigeon toes, buckled knees, foot pronation, etc, are all deformed feet due to cheap flat shoes with no support whatsoever, and sadly all shoes sold in the US are flat) especially when they start walking and before age 4, when arch is fully developed. Quality shoes cost twice as much as these. I guess you get what you pay for. sigh....

These are very cute shoes at first. I bought these along with a few other pairs of similarly priced, different brand shoes at the same time for my son a while back. Of all the shoes we bought, the Saucony ones lasted the least amount of time. Most of the wear and tear is due to the suede and velcro. The red suede turned gray and just gross looking very quickly, and the velcro got so full of lint that the tabs wouldn't close all the way but curled up at the corners. While the shoes still fit, and were probably still okay to wear, they looked like they had been worn for years. I attempted cleaning the suede and velcro without success. I also purchased a pair of Nike KDs for him with a velcro tab, and after more than a year, they still look great and the velcro is working fine. The white Adidas we bought (skeptically because I thought white shoes would look terrible after a few wears by a preschooler) looked way better than these red Saucony shoes after the same amount of wear, and they were easy to clean up. Overall, I would not recommend buying these shoes.

Not in love with this shoe. We've typically bought Puma (great for kids with narrow feet) or Nike (better for wider feet) and both have held up much better than these sparkly Saucony. Just a couple weeks in and these are looking very worn. Our daughter also complains about how these rub on her ankles.

These are cute and seem to be made well, but my 6 year old son did not like the feel of the inside of the shoe. I reached in and there are big edges on the seams that don't lay flat after you have taken your foot out. Kind of like an internal flap.

Cute, easy to get on, but not wearing well. After only one week the suede is very worn, very fuzzy and getting stringy and the nylon is creased like it's a year old. I am very disappointed in the quality. Not 6 year old boy worthy at all!

Loved these for my active 4 year old boy, but very disappointed that only after 6 weeks (worn almost eery day) the sole is coming off - ripped at the toe, and peeling away all along the side. Otherwise they are light-weight and very comfortable and still his favorite.

Poor quality. These are super cute and a great price, but after just two weeks of ownership, I can tell we will be in the market for new sneakers for my 4 year old very soon.

After one wear, the shoes started falling apart. Daughter found them uncomfortable. Not your usual sneakers, very rough with no flexibility. These were a bust.

I love these shoes because they're very pliable for my son's chubby feet and any time he'll wear a shoe for more than one day, I know we've got a winner. Unfortunately, the stitching at the toe (where the leather meets the nylon) came apart on just the third day of wearing them. The third day. I expect better quality from a toddler shoe at this price. These won't last anywhere near how long they should've lasted.

My daughter has been wearing these for under a month. They are already falling apart and look awful. We had NB in the past the wore like iron. Disappointed! Embarrassed to send daughter to school in shoes, they look that bad with normal wear & play.

My one and a half year old loved these shoes and they were super cute, but they only lasted a month. The material looked shaggy and worn within two weeks of wear, and after four weeks there was a hole near the toe and we had to replace them so that he wouldn't get wet feet. I wouldn't recommend purchasing these if your toddler is remotely active as they just didn't hold up for my little guy.

I bought two pairs of the same shoe. One pink and one silver. She wore the silver pair one day and the rubber on the toe peeled back after one day! Super disappointing. She had two pairs of Saucony shoes before and they use to use a lighter weight black rubber sole. The old ones lasted forever, we are very sad they changed the materials. I am returning the pink pair but I am stuck with the silver ones because she did wear them once. ummer.

These shoes cut the inside of my daughters feet! I will never buy another pair of Saucony shoes again...EVER.
