Customer Reviews Saucony Originals Shadow Original

Love Love Love!!

As always with new balance shoes they fit perfect & I love the color.

These are probably my favorite sneakers I’ve ever owned. They give perfect support for my high-arched feet and have a really sturdy sole from heel to toe. I’m not sure how they would be for really strenuous exercise but they feel really well-aligned and ventilated. And they make my feet look good. These are great shoes.

I love Saucony Orginals- I have several pairs. The mint color is bright and perfect for Summer and/or Spring! I would buy a 1/2 size up as this style is a tab more narrow at the top. Most of the brand runs a tad small for me- so I will continue to buy online, but go up a .5 size.

I love them I normally wear a 7 and went half size down. Perfect fit

This was an easy choice -- I was replacing a pair of Saucony Shadow shoes same size that were way too old to be still in service. Price was good on these and they are certainly more "springy" than the ancient pair that I have since discarded.

Love these shoes! Super comfortable. The inside is very cushioned with moderate arch support. Look great with jeans, shorts, skirts and dresses.

I have a few older pairs of Saucony Jazz Originals, and they have held up well and are super comfortable, so I was excited to try these. The mint color is great in person. My feet are probably a true 10.5, so in some brands I need 11s (especially in sneakers - New Balance, I'm looking at you) and in others, 10 is better. For Sauconys, the 10 is perfect. They are squishy and had no break in period. Love!

These are comfy right out of the box. I ordered another pair in a different color as my feet are hard to fit--when something works I have to "stock up".

I like these a lot. They are really cushy without being too soft. They could have more arch support, however I have extremely high arches. They look nice and are made well. I recommend these!

Great shoes!

These sneakers look even better in person. They fit true to size and they feel very comfortable.

I love these sneakers! Bought them from Zappos since they were in stock here and not the Saucony website. I also bought these in the spur of the moment. After they arrive I thought I might return them, but I have loved them and will not return. They fit perfectly! I always wear size 8 and this shoe was an amazing fit. They are not a wide shoe which I appreciate. I work in a restaurant and wear these as the traction on the bottom is deceivingly good. Even walking across wet floors, they do not slip. I always get a lot of compliments when wearing these shoes.

Pessimistically, I was expecting not to like these shoes. I have worn the Saucony Shadow 5000 since the 90's - the early 90's. There was always a spare pair in my closet for when the gray and pink version were worn. I never wore the Shadow for running or walking, but rather just for comfort. I wore the various Rides and then went to Altra for a wider toe box. They discontinued the Altra version I liked, so I tried another Altra version that was not comfortable. I then tried 4 different shoes that Fleet Street (great store; wonderful, knowledgeable staff) recommended. None of them worked. So, I decided, without another option at the moment, that I would try my old gray and pink Saucony Shadow 5000 for my 3.5 daily walk. They were great! I couldn't believe it. But, I didn't want for them to get worn looking, so I ordered a newer version, the old gray and pink having been retired. My new coral ones are great, and I love the color. I never needed much support, so I am not well-read in that area. But comfort and looks - these are great. Now I can save my old Shadows for bronzing.

Comfortable right it of the box but a bit too long. I'm trying a half size down as soon as it's available!

After reading some of the reviews , I was a;most expecting to be disappointed in these Original Shadows. I have a pair that I bought several years ago and definitely have been well worn. These new ones, however, are wonderful - they fit the same, seem to be made as well and I am thrilled!

fits large go half size down
