The only shoes I wear for running are Saucony and I LOVE them. I bought the Shadows as a "fashion" shoe (not for running), while I love the look, they actually hurt my feet - and this is just wearing them for short periods of time and while not super active (not a ton of walking, etc).

The overall shoe fit was much larger than a true 6 and one half B. Style and outer foot tread felt good . felt far too roomy. Really bad sizing.

So disappointed in these because they are super cute, but so uncomfortable and not long enough. I wear a size 7 in shoes, but always buy a 7.5 in sneakers. These were too small even in size 7.5. Bottoms are hard, too - no soft landings here. Overall, they get points for being cute, but they are going back.

These are nothing like my favorite Omni Walkers. Not in quality, not in comfort. I'm searching and searching for replacements for those that I've bought for years.

I was saddened several years ago to learn that the Shadow 6000 would no longer be available. I wore them for many years. Because the men's size in a similar shoe was not available, I took the chance that this one might just fit. Might have been the right size and width but it just did not have the same comfortable fit I was used to, particularly the absence of a good arch support and snug heel compartment. I wore them 1.5mi then gave them to a friend. I lost a good, reliable friend when the Shadow 6000 went away. What do you recommend as the equivalent to my old friend?
By the way, the only similarity was the hole that my great toe on each foot makes in the fabric!

These shoes felt cheap straight out of the box and I have never tried on a more uncomfortable sneaker. Felt like I put in a cardboard box. Returned ASAP. Very disappointed!

I loved these but had no idea they fit so small - I never wear anything bigger than an 8 and had even ordered an 8.5 to wear with wooly socks - I couldn't believe how small they were!! I could wear the 8.5 with no socks, but if I wanted to wear the 8 there was no way I was walking that long! These were so small - I noticed right away when I removed them from the box. Super comfy though, all around, just not in length - going to return them for a 9 and see how that goes.

Saucony is my everyday shoe. However, this particular shoe doesn't fit well, it is too short. The shoe is also very stiff. I am very disappointed.

Little teeny, tiny shoes, that’s why they’re under $100. I bought my size - could just get them on my feet but zero room. Exchanged (don’t exchange! Just return and get another pair or wait forever for your refund!) for a size larger and they were still so small. Wondering why they’re cheap? They don’t even come close to fitting. That’s why!

these are so incredibly hard to find so imagine my excitement when I landed a pair.....so terribly disappointed
the make is so dang "hard"....whatever engineer designed these must have never actually worn them before
they didn't look wide width...didn't feel wide width but they didn't stay on long because they were all off
go back to the original....ORIGINAL
I have a pair...three old pairs...after marathons and half marathons and they still are great
these new are no comparison ....so sad

Usually, I wear a size 7.5 comfortably but these shoes were tight and unbearable to wear. These are not my first pair of Saucony sneakers but it seems the original may run on the smaller side. So if you decide to purchase these sneakers just buy a size up to be on the safe side. They look nice.

These are definitely the worst Saucony shoes I have ever tried. The extra support at the back worked against me and dug into my foot. I could see these ending with massive blisters as they tried to tell my foot what to do. I do not recommend these if you have overpronation at all - you will be sorry. The look is not all that nice in person, these were a dud.

As with most brands, the quality of this shoe has declined, with the use of materials far inferior to the original Saucony shoes I wore in the 1990s. The shoe lacked the former comfortable cushion and seemed flimsy in comparison.

I would return this show...it was hard inside and lacking support in the arches. I had a pair of Jazz 5000 and LOVED them. This shoe was a huge disappointment
