Customer Reviews Saucony Echelon LE2 W

I bought these for work. I'm on my feet a lot and have several foot problems. The toe box is not as wide as the Progrid Integerity so I had to wear them a few days for them to feel as comfortable. I love the amount of cushioning that they have. They work for my high arches.

I've been a Saucony fan for years, and it was time for new walking shoes. Any of their options would have been adequate, as I have purchased and been satisfied with each; however, the top-of-the line offering was the one that caught my attention, and I went with it. The $120 price tag caused a bit of hesitation, but I have no regrets, as the shoe is excellent in every way, and its comfort level exceeds anything I've ever owned. It's cushiony, and the fit, design and craftsmanship are exquisite. I wear my Saucony walkers every day, and rotate through the five pairs in my closet. Each year I treat myself to a new pair and retire the oldest. Remarkably, the pair being replaced, while showing their age, are not 'shot,' and that is a testimony to Saucony's reputation for quality. Zappos and Saucony come through for me every time!

I love most Saucony walking shoes and have worn them exclusively for the past 8 years or so. I walk sometimes 7 miles at a time, uphill and down. This model is the best yet!

Tried these on and immediately my feet felt better than any other shoe I have tried to date. My doctor and physical therapist agreed I had made a good choice. I have worn them every day, all day for a week now and my feet haven't felt this good in years. My granddaughter thinks that if I really want to be cool I should suggest they make them in "sassy" colors. Additionally, Zappos customer service is fantastic. I have purchased items from Zappos for several years and have been pleased every time. Thanks Zappos.

Saucony hit a home run with these! I highly recommend these for people with Mortons Neuroma. Normally I buy wide shoes to allow for extra wiggle room in the toe box but these are plenty wide in the medium. Comfortable right out of the box. Gave them a good test run at the gym and they are a winner. Normally I buy the Saucony Grid. These are much more comfortable. I use my own soft insole with all my shoes. Ordering another pair in black!

I am on my feet all day. I have falling arches. I have a Bunion. I am overweight. I have been through countless shoes of every style, shape & size. These shoes are the BEST thing that has happened to my poor aching feet, not to mention my knees, hips and lower back. To say I am thrilled with these shoes would be an understatement. Thank you Saucony and Zappos for saving me!

I'm going to try in a half size larger. Arch support/sole is very good, but toe box and width are small. I've worn Saucony Integrity ST2 and they fit great in width and toe box, but support is only fair. If the Echelon doesnt work in the 1/2 size larger, I'll go back to the ST2 and get an orthotic/arch support.

I ordered the wide and it felt tight when I put them on; also, the bottom looks really comfy because the soles were so thick but it actually was not comfortable. They looked really big - someone wrote that they were like Frankenstein shoes - I agree. Not feminine at all. I returned them the day after I got them.

Love these shoes! Great for supinators. Feels like walking on a cloud. Love the leather look.

I wear an 8 wide. I could barely fit my foot into this in 8 wide size. I could tell it has excellent arch support, and maybe all the added support and cushioning is why they seem to run small. I had to return and order an entire size up. They are comfortable, but they seem bulky and noticeably orthotic type shoes. They are not youthful, but they are practical if you have foot issues.

Good shoe with solid support. Large toe box and good cushioning. I can walk without pain in my arthritic toe.

Bought these for my daughter, has a narrow foot and pronates badly. After trying 6 different shoes, these gave the best support. Bless you Zappos for your free shipping and returns. She lives in Hawaii and has a terrible time finding shoes. I will be trying these myself soon.

I have been wearing Saucony walking shoes for years and find them comfortable, with excellent support. However, this pair has disappointed me. After two months of walking about four miles 5 days a week and a walk of 7 miles once a month, there are large holes in the lining at the heel! Normally it takes closer to a year for this to happen. When I pay this much for a shoe I expect it to last a bit longer.

Great shoe for those of us who tend to supinate. I love the white also. Helps it to look a little more feminine. I keep a bottle of white shoe polish on hand. Keep them looking new. I will buy these again. Great price on ZAPPOS!

Love these shoes!

Love this shoe!!!

I love this shoe. It is cushioned in the forefoot which I need as I had a neuroma removed 2 years ago and am experiencing nerve regrowth or possibly another neuroma developing. I need the cushioning in the forefoot as well as the heel. The toe box is wide and deep, I did not have to go up to a Wide width. My knee pain is gone when I wear these shoes and my lower back pain is eased. I am able to walk at a good pace again. No rubbing in the bunion area and plenty of room in the toe box. I may order another pair before the design is changed. Thank you Zappos for your terrific customer service staff and your patience as I tried 2 other shoes before this one. They felt narrow and shallow in the toe box. The Saucony Eschelon has wiggle room. I have flat feet and do not need an orthotic with this shoe. Also there was no break-in period. I just turned 67 and you gave me my walking feet back. Returns were easy.

Zappos is great, and this shoe made my feet look like Frankenstein. Guess I have to abandon my Saucony obsession until they figure out that a "walking" shoe doesn't need to look like a hunk of cement. This model isn't all that comfortable, either. Sorry.

YAY I got the Saucony shoes and they fit fine, Thank you so much. They are very comforable and I love them. Sorry about the 2 pairs of clarksI had to return. Zappos is great, Thank you

I love the Echelon 5 shoes, and thought this one would fit the same. Unfortunately it is narrower, and the heel is not so stable for someone like me who underpronates and tends to roll the ankle. I have to return them. They are very well made and nice looking, more is the pitiy.

i bought these for nursing. the comfort of the shoes hugged my feet all around. great arch support. not too heavy.

Oops...one more thing I want to add...I appreciate a site like Zappos! Anyone on this site knows why...they have to be one of the best sites to deal with as far as needing to return/exchange any product. I've had to reorder as I made an error in ordering size before....no problem plus free shipping. In todays world you might save $2 on an order and be charged $17 for shipping. Some of these charges are based on quantity of an item when what you are ordering may be small planting bulbs. Thank you, Zappos

For the last six years or so, I've purchased a new pair of these shoes. Yes, I've tried on others, but just come back to these. The size fits perfectly. I wear the heck out of my shoes and have even taken a beating...I can wash them and they are like new. I do need a higher arch support so I replace the supplied insert with an orthopedic arch support. Would I recommend these to anyone, you bet! Happy trails...

This is the first of this brand of show I have tried. I LOVE THEM! I need a shoe with great arch support and a soft footbed, this has both! I can wear thess all day and my feet are not as tired at the end of the day as they are with some shoes I have. If I don't wear a shoe with a soft footbed the bottoms of my feet hurt by the end of the day. I can walk all day in these and my feet will still be tired but no the soreness. LOVE THIS SHOE!

Insufficient arch support. Beautiful leather , soft comfortable feel. Too tight when orthotics were added for better arch support.
