Customer Reviews Saucony Fastwitch 9

Awsome shoe light weight great feel

I love the shoes. Very light, flexible, and fun colors. Giving a 4 out of 5 because they seem to be shorter than the last pair of Saucony running shoes I bought, so my toes jam the end a little when I am on a treadmill.

Other than two small annoyances, this is a pretty good running shoe. I'm not crazy about the padded tongue that moves around the top of my foot, but the feel of the shoe itself is really good. It's light, no-fuss and low to the ground. The other mild annoyance is with the shorter toebox versus a more locked-in midfoot feel. To me, the toebox is short and the middle is looser than I expected. I took others' advice and went up half a size from my usual 9.5 to a 10 and I was glad I did. I found the shoe to run a bit small. I am a longtime Saucony runner who had been doing runs on sand in my late, great Pearl Izumi N0 shoes that died after eight years of use. I replaced them with these and I'm happy overall. The midfoot feel and tongue were the only features that made these a four-star product instead of a five.

The toebox is quite smaller in this shoe compared to other pairs of Saucony shoes I have had. So didn't love that my toes felt a little more crunched together. Really enjoyed the colors and the minimal support. Good to run in, but probably won't log too many miles in this pair from the tinier toebox.

I go through about 8 pairs of these each year and have for many years. This version of the Fastwitch is a little more snug than prior versions, particularly in the toe box/big toe bone area. I half-sized up and am enjoying these and excited for the next generation! Every generation before I'd give 5 stars, this one I'm giving 4 because of the sizing issue.

Went up entire size but if I try these again I have to buy mens shoe. Way short. Very flat.

3 stars only because the size the didn't fit. 7 was too snug, 7.5 too big. Quality was exceptional though. Bought online and the customer service is second to none - helpful reps, short wait times, easy returns process. Saucony has and always will be my fave road running shoe. 5 stars if there was a Fastwitch size that fit my feet!

I like the shoe it's light weight and comfortable..... but looks like there was a manufacturing error as the shoe is not properly aligned. I'm too lazy to return and wait for another pair but wish I would have.

These shoes are very small.in Saucony I usually wear size 9, but I was warned that Fastwitch runs small so I ordered 9.5. Still my toes hit the end of the shoe

Unfortunately The toebox is too narrow and I got blisters on both of my pinky toes so badly that I haven't been able to walk or run in six days while they heal. Sadly I threw the box away so I can't return them. I've decided that I will get them wet and wear them around hoping that they will stretch out. I have never experienced this with any shoe before and unfortunately this is really putting a damper on the momentum I was getting with running.

You can feel the road and the sneaker fits well moves very easily

I was previously using the A9s and loved them- I switched to the Fastwitch based on the reviews but immediately noticed significant foot pain on the medial aspect of my mid and forefoot. I thought it was me needing to adjust, but the pain worsened. I went to a running store that told me this sounds like the shoe has an extra lift to correct for overpronation- and as someone who does not overpronate, this is what was causing the pain. Beware of the extra lift!

I have purchased Saucony shoes for several years and they have been my favorites. I was very disappointed with these shoes. They seemed very cheaply made considering I paid $100 for them. Don't assume these shoes are like any of Saucony's others. They are not. Keep shopping.
