Super cool kicks!! The colors are fresh and perfect for spring. I get so many compliments on these, especially from guys who wish they could fit into them! They're a little roomy so I just put in a padded insole and wear thicker socks, and I'm good to go.

I went with other reviews I had seen for Saucony's and went with a half size larger. I'm typically an 8.5 to 9. I ordered the 9 and they fit perfectly. I'm on my feet all day and they are very comfortable. The toe space is very roomy. I decided to go with the Shadow instead of the Jazz because I like the look a little more (vain, I know) and some reviews said the cush was a bit better. I've never owned a Jazz, so I can't speak for them, but I'm extremely pleased with my purchase. I highly recommend these shoes. And, as always, Zappos speedy delivery! I selected the free 4 day shipping and they showed up on my door the next day! Thanks.

Very nice stylish shoe. Can be worn casual and sporty. I"m flat footed so this shoe gives me an arch that I need.

The colors offered in the original are too bright for daily wear!! I hit the blue but I'm waiting for the black in THIS style as its the only one I love. Please make black amd navy in this shoe.

As always, I loved the Saucony but this pair felt a bit smaller in length; the width was exactly as I recall. The only reason I'm returning them is length.

Very comfortable but the inside lining of the heel is not durable. I rubbed a hole in it with less than a week of regular walking.

Soooo cute but too small. I knew this about Saucony -- not a good fit for me but they are so cute, I thought I'd try. Boo hoo.

These look great, but I sized up (a half) and they were too small.

I have worn these shoes 3 times so far and received so many compliments. I wish that they came in a 1O.5, the 11s are just a little big. Other than that I really like the style and colors.

I needed a roomier fit and a more flexible shoe. The Saucony Shadow was not for me. Sizing was true to size. I have difficult feet to fit though.

The insole is very firm. The footbed is not very flexible. I had sauconys several years ago and was hoping the same cushion would be there. For someone with younger feet they would probably be great. Loved the style though! Returning.

Super cute shoes. I did return them because I felt they fit funny on my feet. Loved the style and colors wish they fit differently.

Four stars for design and colors cosmetically. Not five stars for not having the vegan option, toe box too tight. Had to size up and still the toe box only needs to be .250" bigger. The top of the shoe is super tight had to loosen up the laces by a mile and it still feels tight. Love the shoes though. I wear them for style and use my older performance shoes for messy active days.

These are very cute sneakers. I was a little disappointed that they are not more comfortable. The sole is not at all cushy as I imagined. However, I bought new insoles to put inside, and they will hopefully be okay for long days on my feet.

Pretty comfortable, but not enough for my sensitive problem feet. The toe area ( my problem area) was not as comfortable as I'd hoped. And the color was not as vibrant as I thought. More like sherbet colors. I sized up by 1/2 which felt good. My usual size 8 would have been too small. I have to return.

Although I love the colour and style, the shoes are slightly short and there is simply not sufficient arch support for my feet. I have two older pairs of Saucony running shoes, and the same size fit better and had better arch support.

The most comfortable sneakers Ive ever worn. Had them in during a 10 hour long festival and no issues! Go up a half size. Usually an 8 and went with an 8.5 and fit perfectly!

As always, the Jazz never disappoints. Super comfy, casual. Great colors. I love the slight lift of the sole and traction they offer. Runs true to size. *Need to keep more black on hand since it sells out the first.

true to size/width. moderately comfortable. I bought the red/wine suede (it is a beautiful color) but I don't think the suede will hold up very well with use/wear. Sadly, I will return them

These Saucony shoes were chosen because I wanted an athletic type shoe without the very thick sole to wear when I am not hiking. I have boots for that. This shoe is sporty and comfortable even tho' the padding is average. The support is Ok but I can tell they will deform slightly as I have a slight tendency to pronate when walking.. My Brooks In-lines are way more supportive but this Saucony model will serve the use intended.
I'd also recommend:
Ariat, Brooks, Arial

I love the shoe and the styles, very comfortable, except for shopping in the brands website there's not a lot of the color options I would like available. It sucks because I would've bought additional pairs but the colors for the "classic" and the "shadow" line are a little limited and disappointing
