Love this shoe - colors are great and it is very lightweight and comfy - no "break-in" needed. Size was a bit small. I normally wear a 7 in an athletic shoe and have a somewhat narrow foot. Had to return it for the 7.5 and it is not long at all.

Love this shoe! My new favorite. If you are looking for a flat running shoe with minimal support, this is a great one. It is extremely light and flexible. This shoe is NOT meant to provide cushion and support, so I don't understand the complaints about it not having support/cushion...it's not supposed to. While I think it's great for running, I also love this shoe for Crossfit workouts. I am not a fan of the barefoot feel and look in other shoes, but this shoe is flat and minimal yet still fits and looks like a regular running shoe and comes is fun colors. I always go up a half size with Saucony.

I just returned my pair of Saucony Grid Type A5 to Zappos. Naturally with Zappos--no problem. I am so surprised at these Saucony shoes. Typically, Saucony is simply the only fitness shoe I ever purchase. This particular pair, however, had no support whatsoever, no heel height for any protection from impact, ran way too small ; all it had were really cute colors.

Great shoe but I needed to exchange for half size larger. I've worn Saucony's for years using my custom orthotics but required larger size in this style

First I exchanged this shoe for a half size larger and then had to exchange again for a full size larger. Usually I can count on Saucony to fit well with my usual size. I love the lightweight but so little support, but I use them for walking, not running.

These where the First pair of Saucony shoes that I have owned. At first I thought they where the most comfortable, light weight shoes, however they fell apart after two months. The sole came off the bottom of the shoes. I think a good pair of running shoes should last longer then two months. I was not very impressed with the quality and will not be buying another pair of Saucony's.

I am a Saucony loyalist. I've used the Ride for years, but wanted to transition to a lighter shoe. I was worried, so I watched the videos and read the reviews. I settled on this shoe, and I am so happy with it! It's so light, it almost unbelievable. If you need a lot of stability and control, this shoe is probably not for you. But neutral runners will absolutely love it! I'm very pleased with Saucony and, of course, with Zappos!

Zappos always has what I'm looking for! These shoes are very light in weight and they are so cute. I'm always asked "who makes those cute shoes?" Love them. This is my second pair.

I use these shoes for crossfit and I love them. I have narrow feet but I still needed to order a half size larger than usual.

Great shoe, but runs very small. I ordered a 6 and had to return for a 7. I've never worn a size 7 in any shoe before, so these are definitely a full size smaller. Great colors and a very comfortable lightweight shoe.

I purchased this shoe to use during my daily runs. I run about 30-35 miles a week and try to use minimalist footwear. These shoes were great at first, though they did feel a bit snug with thicker socks. My one complaint is that these shoes started to fall apart at the seams much sooner than other shoes I have had (even other shoes by Saucony). With this in mind, these are not worth the price tag, even though I enjoyed them for a couple of months.
