Customer Reviews Saucony Echelon 5

I have an extremely high arch - one of the highest my podiatrist has seen. These shoes fit my feet and are unbelievably comfortable. I use an orthotic and even with that in, the sides of the shoe are high enough so that it hugs my foot without rubbing on my heel. One thing that I did not notice in the picture was that there are two different colors of pink on the shoe. It is not the most attractive but the comfort makes up for it. Even though I broke them in by first walking a mile, then three, then five, it probably was not necessary. It should be noted I am a walker, not a runner. I usually wear a 7½ or 8M in street shoes but I bought an 8W in these. I hope this helps.

These Saucony shoes are very comfortable, I walk about 5 miles everyday and love them. I'm a size 7, with extremely flat feet. The only negative I can think of is they wear in the big toe first and a hole will develop.

These are very comfortable! I ordered a 9D because of a bad bunion surgery but have to send it back for an 8.5.

These Saucony Echelon 5 shoes are very comfortable. They are wide enough to fit my custom made orthotics. I do wish that there were more colors like solid black.

In my constant struggle to find shoes with a wide toe, this is where I turned. The toebox is a bit larger than most, but only by a bit, so I moved to a wide width. It is great that they offer different widths, and the wide works well at letting my toes spread enough to be able to grip and not be squished and uncomfortable. I wish the ankle/heel area was just a bit smaller, but that's because I have narrow heel. I don't slip out of this like I do with most shoes that fit my toebox, which is great. The bottom of the shoe is less flexible than I expected, but it's loosening up a bit each day. Overall, this should do well for my morning power walks.

Loved everything about the shoe except there was some rough stitching on the inside that hit right across my pinky toe. I could feel it before I even stood up and knew immediately that it would cause blisters. Except for that I'd have kept the shoe.

Very comfortable shoe and like the color combination.

Very comfortable shoe and I like the color combination. Wish the mesh fabric on top did not extend so far forward since I wore a hole in my last pair with my big toe.

Great shoe but it was too long. I normally wear a 9 but relied on info in reviews and ordered one half size up. The shoe is too big.

These shoes are very comfortable for walking. I supinate when walking, and the neutral cushioning is perfect.

I discovered Sauconys quite a few years ago and they fit my high arch feet like they are custom made for me and these are no different. They are comfortable right out of the box. Right now I own three pair of Sanconys - two for the gym and this new pair will be my travel pair. I am taking these with me on my upcoming trip to San Francisco and know they will be comfortable for the hours of walking that I plan to do.

This Saucony style was comfortable from my first wear. I walked several miles in them the first week after receiving them, and I was quite pleased with their comfort.

Saucony's naturally run a bit wide. I would normally wear a 7W, but the medium width is wide (definately NOT a true medium). I bought the 7.5 med and really like the larger toe box. My big toe has a tendency to press up on eventually rub a hole in the top of the shoe but in this shoe it didn't do that. I am returning the shoe because when I put my custom orthodic in the shoes are too big, and I found another Asics shoe that fits better with my orthodic inside.

I've always been an ASICS girl... no more! These are have amazing support and cushion and I can't wait to try them on the road! I LOVE wide running shoes and these are perfect!

I LOVE these sneakers! They are the most comfortable sneakers I've ever owned! I've had plantar fasciitis on and off for a few years. It gets worse when I'm on my feet for a long time and/or if I wear the same pair of shoes for more than two days. After one day of breaking these in, I walked around Disneyworld for four days straight with no problems whatsoever! This was my second pair of this style, but I actually bought a half size smaller than the first pair. Normally I go up a half size because I have a wide foot. But my first pair (7 1/2W), was a bit long, so I tried the 7W. It fits like it was custom made for my foot! The removable insole gives you more flexibility if you use custom insoles or orthotics, but the shoes offer great support on their own. If you are looking for a super comfy, yet supportive sneaker, your search ends here!

This sneaker was just what I needed. Perfect amount of support and cushion. I have a high arch and need arch support and I feel this does a great job.

Saucony makes the best running shoes for neutral gait or supinating runners. This is no exception, and is also a bit wider in the B width than their most recent shoe - more like the old Sauconys. Zappos, please keep carrying shoes like this one! I wear a 9B, and this fits perfectly.

I have very flat feet and I have a lot of foot pain. These shoe are amazing and provide the support that I need while running.

LOVE THEM! YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!!

Very comfortable supportive shoe. I wear them with my inserts for walking and they are my favorite shoe. I just purchased my third pair. The inserts that come with the shoe are very thick and are comfortable as well.

These shoes were so comfortable right out of the box! I normally don't pay this much for this type of shoe, but the fit was so amazing, I quick ordered the other color. I love them!

Excellnet shoes. zappo's website shows deatail of shoes and it really helpted. I realized I am underpronated but was wearing overpronation support shoes. No wonder I had to change insole severla time for my saucony Hurricane which is overpronation support shoes. also Zappo website states about differential and I've learned I need to have at least 8 mm. Right out of box I can run painlessly! Thank you Zappo and Saucony!

This is the only shoe I have been able to wear since having numerous injuries to my foot. Previously I had worn thick orthotics and double depth shoes which fit my orthotics, not my foot. Not only was I able to stop using the orthotics(I replaced them with an OTC insole) but these shoes have s heel cup deep enough to support my heel without overkill support in the rest of the shoe. I'm so happy I can wear cute sneakers again! Thank you Saucony and Zappos! I will say I think the laces should be about 1-2 inches longer. Other than that, they're great.

These are the most comfortable workout shoes that I've ever worn. I have had multiple surgeries on my feet so the extra cushioning is great. My orthotic fit fine in the regular width but I ended up buying the wide width and couldn't be happier. They are true to size. I had to try on other brands in a bigger size so that my toes had space to move, but these were okay, especially in the wide width. They aren't as sleek as some brands but these really look good and my feet are happy.

Much different fit than the other echelon 5 I have from Zappos. Too tight
