I've had these shoes about a month and am pretty happy with them. They look great and seem pretty good quality. They seem to fit pretty standard. My only complaint would be that they don't seem to have any arch support. I put some Sole insoles in and it fixed the problem. It doesn't bother me since I run these in a lot of my shoes already and with them, the shoes are comfortable. These shoes have good ventilation.

These seemed awesome for the look. However, I typically wear a 12 men’s but these were oddly small. I had ordered another color as well in a 12 that were about right. But I prefer the blue, I need to exchange in hopes to size correctly.

For the ladies - this ran small. I am Women's 10. Chart said to order a men's 8.5. That size was way too small for me. My toe was at the top of the shoe. Held against my other shoes soles, it was definitely smaller. Exchanged for a Mens 9. A tad bit too big, but much better fit. I have never worn a "unisex" shoe but sizing was off. Zappos was great, as usual. Got my replacement next day. On fence if I will keep this larger size but the green color is awesome.

Fit pretty well, fairly cushy and supportive. When I first put them on they were a little wide-feeling for me (but I have narrow feet) and they also kind of make my feet look comically small? Definitely something to consider if you are concerned about what size your feet appear to be.
They are nice looking and get plenty of compliments regardless, and are much more comfortable than my old worn-down adidas :)

Women's Saucony Shadow has not been available. Instructions were to purchase Men's 1.5 sizes smaller. I did and they were too small. I returned and ordered a half size larger (one size smaller in men's) and they fit perfectly.

Husband really likes the looks, and comfort is average, would be better if slightly wider across front. If wide was available, we would have exchanged, but he wants to try to make them work. Our fingers are crossed.

Everything is as expected, just wish the yellow was a brighter, more vibrant yellow.

I love the look and appreciate they came with two different colored laces. The size is an issue though. This the second shadow I've bought that feels a half size too small, and not wide enough, until "broken in". I've bought 10.5 Shadows in the past and they are fine. In fact, I placed them next to each other and they are visibly smaller thought marked as the same size. I just dont have the energy to repackage and ship back for a different size. I'll just know to buy 11s in the future

Really comfortable. The tread on the bottom is raised making the shoe shock absorbent and bouncy. I wear a women’s 10 and bought the men’s 8.5 which fit perfect but I have narrow feet and these might be too narrow for most.

For the most part, I like these shoes – nice retro style and they're made well. My only complaint is that the sole gets very narrow from the instep to the heel which makes it easy to roll your ankle if you step wrong.

A little snug on my feet, so I got a 1/2 size bigger than usual.

I was pretty excited for these shoes. However, when I wear them, I sorta feel like they may me feel like a senior citizen, as the bottom platform is so thick/high. They are pretty comfortable to walk though - I have a 1 mile walk to work and I can feel the difference from my other sneakers.

These shoes are classic and comfortable. My shoe size ranges between 11 and 11.5. I bought these in 11 and they fit fine. They are also easy to clean but hard to keep clean. Overall, they are nice shoes. I am happy. I do wish that Saucony would come up with different color schemes in addition to the ones that they have already. Not Zappos fault.

A great pair of shoes. Feel really good because they have a soft heel. Just which they were less expensive.

The shoe runs small. I may need to return AGAIN for another half size up. Making it a whole size up from my regular shoe size.

The last pair I had were the Courageous model. They felt well made and with thicker and more durable materials than these. I guess just like with many things these days, the price goes up yet the quality goes down.

My feet aren't super wide, but these felt narrow for me. Bought the 8.5, I can range from 7.5-8.5 in other brands.

I have owned 5 pairs of Shadows and these are the only ones that have not fit correctly. Love the way they look, but too small.

Great style, fit and comfort. Perfect for causal wear, walking, or a job in which your on your feet most of the day. My only negative, unfortunately, is the minor scuff/spot on the front toe. For a brand new shoe that should not be there. Not a big deal, just not what you want to see with brand new unworn sneakers. Besides that everything is perfect!
