Customer Reviews Saucony Originals Shadow 6000

Been buying this Saucony running shoe model exclusively since it first came out in '92(?). It's a perfect fit for my foot shape, with just the cushioning and support that I like. (I was a marathon runner and completed about 20 of them [in addition to uncounted hundreds of shorter races.]) But one had to remember to buy it when each year's production run came out in the spring, after which local vendors would invariably be out-of-stock in my size. This year Saucony plunked on a veritable tsunami of new colors, finally realizing that it had produced the perfect running shoe thirty years ago and that it couldn't be improved upon. Hope they keep the production runs similarly amped up in the years to come.

I had a pair of these back in 1993 fresh out of high school and always loved them. Thanks to the internet, I found them again. Just bought myself a new pair and I still love them. I have the white/navy/grey color scheme, same as my original pair. I can't bring myself to run in them, they look so fresh and crisp, I just use them to chill and look good. I know I will buy another pair when I wear these out.

Thanks for bringing back this old model. It's the best fit for me.

These are very comfortable! I use them for casual use.

This is my 3rd pair of shadows my 2nd pair of the 6000's. I definitely plan on purchasing another pair. The colors and silhouette make them very stylish. Most importantly they are SO Comfortable!

I really love how these shoes look. They are a cute casual trainer. I had an issue with sizing I usually wear a 7 in womens but I exchanged for a 7.5 and then an 8 until they finally fit well. So I recommend sizing up. The toe box is a little narrow. What i don't like is that they have a hard insole and not enough arch support for me. I think they are nice for running errands but not that comfy for all day wear.

Comfortable for walking, because they are unisex I think they are a tad shorter than my usual size 7 womens, wider too. They still fit though and I like them.

While i do like the shoe, it would have been good to know that the shoe size runs small. The size 11 that i order, and by the way the size I wear in Nike, is like a 10.5. I actually should have ordered a 11.5.

I thought the color was browns and greens they were black. Still super cute and very comfortable.

Love this shoe, very comfy. 4 stars because beautiful burgundy color bled to white parts.

I bought this show but I think it is really to big even thought it is Unisex size 9 like my other shoes. I need to put extra socks on. Maybe I should return it and ask for a smaller size??

Great styling. Pretty good comfort (4/5) but insole could use more cushioning. A Saucony Ride level of comfort in this style would be a dream shoe.

Looks great; runs small; a bit on the stiff side of comfort

Comfortable sneakers but felt tight when I first put them on. It did loosen up the more I wore it. Better if you have medium width feet.

I recently bought the Saucony Shadow 6000s with the intent of adding them to my everyday wear rotation. The dark green colorway immediately caught my eye, and to start, I love the design and layers of the shoe. The soft finish and subtle stitchwork contribute to its overall aesthetic, which is trendy and slightly retro. I find the materials used in the midsole and general body of the shoe to be of good quality and consideration. In terms of comfort, the supportive midsole and slightly firmer insoles provide a pleasant experience overall. However, I did notice that the toe box is a bit narrow, which is my main concern. Despite this, the shoe generally runs true to size. As someone who usually tries shoes in person, these being my first Saucony pair, I am intrigued by other shoes in the lineup, such as the Endorphin Pro 3, which I have heard great things about from fellow runners. When it comes to performance, I am happy with how the Shadow 6000s perform as my everyday shoes. They provide good traction, stability, and flexibility, making walking and standing enjoyable. In terms of durability, I have had no concerns so far, and the shoes are easy to clean post-wear. However, I do avoid using them on rainy days. Price-wise, the Shadow 6000s are reasonably priced for the quality and construction they offer. While they may be slightly on the higher end, I would purchase them again due to their excellent fit with my wardrobe. The shoes have a nostalgic old-school feel that I appreciate. I think the 6000s are a stylish and durable option for everyday wear. They have a captivating design, good durability, and overall construction. While the narrow toe box and insole technology could be improved, I would still recommend them to friends, family, and even foes who are looking for reliable and fashionable footwear.

I have run in Saucony 6000's for 40 years - yikes! I was devastated when the women's version was discontinued but I'm grateful that I can still continue to run in the unisex ones. Please don't discontinue those!!!

The shadow 6000 is a great shoe. Love the silhouette and the little details however they run a little tight. I'm a true size 11 and these are very tight in the toe box area. Order a 1/2 size up as a precaution.

Loved the dark blue color! Goes great with blue jeans!

My regular shoe choice, seemed a bit small/tight. Loved the color in suede.

i live the look of these sneakers but they run extremely small--if i but these again i would probably order a size larger than normal!

Happy to be reunited with one of my favorite sneakers. I've always liked the Shadow 6000 and wore nothing else for years until they vanished - I used to buy them in women's sizes, which are no longer available. Color options are much better in the men's (aka "uni-sex"). The size conversion chart was a bit off - my first try was a size too small but the second try worked.
