Customer Reviews Saucony Zealot ISO 2

Actually bought this shoe to wear in place of a golf shoe because I had been having so much trouble with my feet & a hammer toe! I think it will be very good because it is pretty flat (differential is only 4mm). I love Saucony shoes & have numerous pair. This one doesn't seem to have the most cushioning as compared to others, but I do think I will like it for golf!

I wanted a pair of black and white sneakers. Glad to have found these - very cute and light-weight! I'm SO glad I read all the reviews first, because these definitely run small. I went a 1/2 size up and that worked well for me.

Love these shoes but they run very small.

Definitely half a size too small. Returned for next half size up. First pair of Saucony Zealot ISO.

Runs small and narrow.

Having runners in the family has taught me the importance of making the investment in a high quality running shoe. In order to do this, I had to take my high school aged children to the local running shop to be fitted for the best shoe for their foot shape, stride, etc...FInding the time to take the kids to the shop each time they need a new pair is a hassle and probably unnecessary since they tend to stick with the same model. So when I found out that I can get the same shoes at Zappos, I was thrilled. They offer a wider selection of colors and have more sizes in stock than a small store. Plus, they are delivered to your doorstep in such a timely manner. As for the shoes, my daughter is on her 5th pair of the Zealots (yes, she puts on a lot of miles). She finds them to be the most comfortable and keeps her injury free! The only complaint she has is that the netting on the top by the toe area has a tendency to snag on bushes when she runs in the hills and this can eventually lead to a hole.

This is my second pair of zealots. I loved the first version and was nervous to get these because previous reviews said they were much narrower than the first version. The forefoot is narrower but for me it wasn't an issue. After 2-3 runs they felt great. I have tried many different brands but the zealot is definitely my favorite!

I have worn Saucony for the past few years. They are the most comfortable running/walking shoes for me. These are no exception. They are very supportive. I always go up a 1/2 size and I did with these as well. They fit perfect. I am really happy with the colors too. I ordered the silver/mint/coral.

I could not get my size to work in this shoe. I wear a 9 1/2-10 in regular shoes so ordered the 10 1/2 in these. My toe barely touched the end and I was afraid it would get uncomfortable for long walks. I returned and got the 11. This was too long and too wide. I think this shoe just doesn't work for my feet.

This is my second pair of Zealots. They didn't feel as "cushiony" (as the first pair) initially, but they seem to have broken in. I like the color and they are supportive, for being on my feet all day.

I have another pair of Saucony shoes and loved them. Like many have mentioned, this style runs a little more snug. Not really a half size but definately a little narrower. I still kept the same size. I'm sure they will loosen a little. Light weight, breathable - I really like this brand for work out shoes.

Nice shoes overall. I wear orthotics, so I remove the inserts that come with the shoe. They feel a little snug in the toe area, so I used a shoe expander to stretch it out a bit.

I owned three pairs of the previous version of this shoe and it was one of my most favorite running shoes ever - it felt like it was made for me right out of the box. I like this one, but it's taken a week or so to get used to them. They are more padded and less flexible than the previous version. There's a lot more padding around the forefoot, which makes them feel about a quarter size smaller than their predecessor. Other than that they still run pretty true to my running shoe size (full size larger than street shoes). On the plus side, they feel like they will last longer -- I could only get about three months/350 miles out of the others. That's the price you pay for more minimal shoes; these feel less minimal, and like they may last longer.

I have had these shoes for a little less than a year, and I've run between 1-6 miles a week in them since I bought them. I kept waiting for the soles to soften with use, but they still don't feel "broken in." I just ran a half-marathon this past weekend in them, and MAN - the shin splints are unreal. The shoe is really tight around the midfoot, but if I tie them any looser, I run right out of them or the heel slips. My foot has gone numb during each run I've worn these shoes for. I used the previous model of the Zealot and loved it, but this one missed the mark for me. Once I get my money's worth from these shoes, I'll be trying the Saucony Ride. Hopefully a different shoe will decrease my leg and foot pain caused by these shoes.

This sneaker was more stiff than I would have expected and ran a little bit small.

For the price, these shoes are just so-so. I am a big Saucony fan, and have always been able to get my normal 5.5 size in this brand and wear them right out of the box and they feel great. These, not so much. There was a big breaking in period, and they never felt truly, 100% comfortable. They fit nothing like the original ISO Zealots which I loved and wanted, but they no longer make. These felt smaller and narrower, especially in the toe box. And lastly, the cheap vinyl lace hole at the top of the shoe, ripped through, making that lace hole useless. So trying to tie my right shoe tightly, if at all, is almost impossible. Very disappointed in this pair of Saucony's.

was too small (all sauconys seem to be running small in size these days) and I wasn't in love with the colorway in person. This shoe only seems appropriate if you really overpronate.

Not like other Saucony's. Very round toe box, making the shoe fit smaller. Other Saucony's have a slight point and have plenty of room in the toe for running. Sadly gave these to my 12 year old daughter. Back to the basics for me.

The other reviewers were not exaggerating when they complained that the redesign left the shoe significantly narrower in the toe box. It also was tighter on top. Had to return, which is so unfortunate as the Zealot ISO was my favorite running shoe ever.
