Customer Reviews Saucony Echelon 5

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

My wife bought these and love them. This is her second pair of Saucony. She works in retail and is on her feet all day and with the excellent arch support, wearing these makes it much easier and comfortable. As always, Zappos is the best place to find our footwear!

I need a generous toe box and excellent cushioning. I really like New Balance sneakers for the roominess of their toe boxes, but they tend to have less cushioning than I want. The best cushioning I've found is in the Asics Gel series, but their toe boxes tend to be shaped too narrowly (even in WW). This shoe fits the bill for me as a combination of both needs! I just wish I had tried it earlier. My only wish is that the top came in leather as well as mesh (for winter--mesh is kind of cold). I'm very, very pleased with these shoes. They fit my wide feet well and make them feel happy.

First, thank you to all the other reviewers. You helped me try these. I have been searching for a comfy pair of shoes for... well, forever. I have now found them. I promptly ordered a second pair. My feet like a little wiggle room in the toe box and these give it. Tons of support and cushion without being overdone. LOVE THESE.

I have worn Asics Gel-Nimbus or the Gel-Cumulus for the the past 5 years, but I did not like the current color offerings so I gave this a try based on the glowing reviews. This shoe does not disappoint. It has a very thick cushy footbed, which I need for my arthritic feet. I find this shoe very similar in feel to the Gel-Nimbus or Gel-Cumulus. They all have a nice wide toe box, neutral arch design, and ample cushioning. This Saucony runs a little shorter than the Gel-Nimbus or the Gel-Cumulus. I usually wear a 9.5 in a running shoe and the 9.5 still fits in this shoe, but with less wiggle room. I think the 10 would be far too long though.

These shoes have been the best shoes I have had to work in all day for a long time. I stand on my feet 11+ hours per day. They provide stable support for long hours on concrete floors. These are the only shoe I have for my leisure time that feel good all day also. They have a moderate arch support that works well for me, a lot of shoes have way to high an arch support for me. I was super happy that they still have these available, my current pair are a year old now, so I will be retiring them to outside yard and garden work. I did find that a medium width was a bit tight for my foot so I ordered the wide width and love the extra room.

I love these! I hope I can get used to the 8mm differential sine I'm used to 12mm and I have Achilles issues. I hope my new orthotics will fit in them. I can't believe the wide fit my EE feet! EE width ladies try these!

I usually buy New Balance, but these made me a Saucony fan. I am only 42 years old and have trouble with my feet already. I was hoping for an all black pair, but these were the closest I could find with some mesh rather than all leather. Hope Saucony considers making these in an all black at some point. Great shoe. Highly recommend. And, my inserts fit in them!

comfy running shoe right out of the box.

comfy running shoe.

Saucony has always been my "go to" brand. This is one of the best fits. I have one foot a full half size smaller than the other and am always having bleeding callous and blister issues with it. This time, on a trip to Europe with a lot of walking, I lost my big toenail. That smaller foot just has too much room despite extra orthotics. I am finally breaking down and buying a 2nd pair 1/2 size smaller for my right foot only. The other 2 mismatches will go to charity or possibly a website that takes 2 sizes. As much as I love Zappos' service I wish I could get 2 sizes of shoes. I know I am not the only one out there with 2 sizes of feet. Anyway, I am looking forward to a smaller Right Foot shoe to reach me. I love this Echelon 5.

I'm about 75% recovered from a surgery where my achilles was severed and I needed new shoes to get me through this phase. I've always had wide feet and trouble finding shoes that fit. I bought four pairs of shoes at the same time and these were the most comfortable, and widest, of the four (Brooks x2 and Mizuno). I feel like they are 1/2 size too small. But, at a 12W, there aren't any options for me to size up. These feel great on my feel and I am looking forward to being able to regain my strength and fitness.

Very comfy shoe. I've had foot surgery so was having problems finding a shoe with enough room in the toe bed but this fits the bill. I would advise getting a ½ size larger.

fast shipping great pkgng & the shoes fit perfectly...very happy with the purchase

the shoes are great, also excellent service from your company

These shoes were super comfortable right out of the box. The white part along the instep is a little clunky looking, but overall a cute shoe.

Buying shoes online, that I've never personally tried on, worried me. I'm a divorced mom with 3 kids so spending money on a pair of shoes is a big deal, but I knew I needed a quality pair because I was starting to have foot and back issues. I am VERY happy I went ahead and got these. Almost overnight my foot and back issues went away and they feel wonderful. I've been wearing them for about 3 months and wish I could stockpile enough pairs to last me the rest of my life. As if that wasn't enough, everywhere I go people compliment me on my shoes. :) So if you're on the fence about these shoes...don't be. They're awesome! (I also really like the Guide 9 if you're looking for a pair in white.)

My daughter has a hard foot to fit being wide and all but...this shoe for rocked! Going to order another pair... great!

My daughter has a hard foot to fit being wide and all but...this show for rocked! I'm going to order another pair... great!

Surprised that shoe is so much wider from arch forward. Ordered same size as Echelon 4 which fits perfectly, but this feels like a different size.

I really like these shoes. I've been wearing Saucony running/walking shoes for years and I generally buy whatever Zappos has in my size (6.5W). These are the most stable style I've had. They are very light and comfortable.
