I have had other Saucony shoe models but at age 64 felt I needed something with a bit more support and comfort. Have had them 150 miles (3 wks x 50 mi/wk) and they're definitely one of the best running shoes I've ever owned. And at their price point, one of the best values.

I'm obsessed! These shoes are the most comfortable things I've ever had on my feet! I have Planter Fasciitis, bone spurs and Degenerative disc disease from Scoliosis. If you have back pain and or foot pain, you need these shoes!

I ordered 10 medium and they fit great. I usually get stuck buying a wide because I feel like I need more room in the toe box. Not with these. Plenty of room, yet snug and comfortable. A little heavier running shoe with a lot of cushion and foam. I use custom orthotics and they fit great with this shoe and your foot is not pushed up too high. I highly recommend these for anyone needing to insert an orthotic but they come with a healthy insert for those who don't.

Great for road walking and running. Was wearing minimalist shoes before this that caused joint and back pain. All gone now.

Really like this shoe. Hope saucony gets enough of a positive response to this shoe to create a shoe with a light to moderate trail tread on it.

Second pair my husband has bought. He really likes them. Not too "minimal" but not too "much" either, a good balance between the two.

I have serious supination issues and metatarsal problems that I have tried to resolve with orthotics and multiple pairs of shoes. This shoe is the only shoe that has worked for me, they look great and they feel great, even if I am in them all day.

I am really enjoying the fit of this shoe. It is truly made for flat-footed runners who do not over-pronate. I am loving this so far.

Comfortable and very durable/well made. As a heavy person, shoes can sometimes wear quickly. These held up very well.

Did not take long to "break" the new pair in. Accommodated orthotics well.

Tried what feels like a zillion different shoes and finally found a good running shoe for my flat feet with narrow heels and a slightly wider toe box.
Have discovered through research and personal experience that my flat feet do better distance running with heavy cushioning and less arch support. These shoes are good to go without needing 3rd party insoles.

My first purchase was their trail shoes. Both fit as promised.

I purchased these shoes over a month ago and now I can give my honest thoughts. I purchased these since the Women's Saucony Echelon 8 Wides were all sold out and I could not get them local or on Zappos. So I decided to get the guy's shoes. I had to size down but these are perfect. I wear them all the time and they just give me life. I am able to run, walk, and do daily life in them. Totally suggest them.

Grear runner; been using this model for 10 yrs now as best one for custom fit orthotics. No better neutral runner on market.

I had them for a few weeks now, rotating with other sneakers, and found them very comfortable for both walking and running. You will get gain with no pain. For running, I use , though my old and tried runner's orthotics. They also have a distinct but discreet design, which enhances their appearance, without being too crass.

I've just been through my second pair of Echelon 8s and really like the shoe. Unfortunately, when time came to replace these, Saucony's web site doesn't offer them any more so I'm trying the Guide 15s that were the default result when I searched for Echelons. We'll see, hopefully the resemblance will go beyond the picture into the performance. My feet have appreciated the comfort and support of the Echelons for over 1500 miles.

These shoes are comfortable, but don’t have as cushioned a feel as the Endorphin series. They also don’t “roll” forward like the Endorphins. The color is great. Overall the quality is what I have come to expect from Saucony.
