Customer Reviews Saucony Echelon 8

Great fit and feedback while running though not the lightest sneaker but great fit and comfort

good shoe but wish it was more durable for a teenager

The shoes are comfortable for a couple of hours but after that they start feeling uncomfortable. I can't stand to wear them all day. I still like them for short runs.

The upper is much improved over prior models. Fit is very good and they have a very nice understated look. Very accommodating for orthotics as advertised. Wish laces were improved because they eventually get all twisted.

Padding at top of heel needs to be more substantial & robust. I have experienced this with Echelon 5 & my existing Echelon 8. Nonetheless a good shoe!

They are great but when I bought them I didn't realize they would look so blah. From picture thought they were a little more colourful. Like them , they feel great but I look like an old old person very very pasty grey

This is really the best option if you need a shoe with a wide midfoot. It's got a straight last and accommodates low arches well. I wish it were a bit more responsive. Nonetheless, I come back to this shoe year after year because of the fit.

After surgery these are the only shoes I have found with a big enough toe box for comfort. Good solid shoe.

Comfortable shoes but not enough for supination, that's what I bought them for , there are another models that helps more with supination I had to add a shoe insoles!

I've bought 3-pairs in the last 2 years, great for extra wide feet, arch support! My only complaint, the inside Heel MATERIAL needs more Padding! I walk 5 miles a day, & that Area always wears out for the price, u need to do better SAUCONY!

Very comfortable, lightweight, cool looks and can wear them with Orthodics

Comfortable sneaker with good support. My son loves these shoes for gym.

I'm not sure why Saucony now lists Echelon under Stability. I started buying Echelon because it was Neutral. It's still neutral as far as I can tell. The Echelon 8 is a return to form and the new dark gray color looks sharp. The inside heel still wears out long before the rest of the sneaker. I go through about 3 per year. I started with the Echelon 4. I rank them as follows: Echelon 6 Echelon 8 Echelon 5 Echelon 7 Echelon 4

I have been wearing a couple of pair of Swerve shoes for a couple of years now (0ne outdoor pair and one indoor pair). They are very light and comfortable but I am 70 yrs old and have had some health issues that affected my stability. The Swerve does not offer a lot of lateral stability. The outdoor pair are kind of worn out anyway and I needed more stability. The Echelon fills that need. they are very comfortable and very stable. They are a little wider than I like or I might have given them a five.

It is very different than previous version. It has a much better fit. The uppers seem to be much better. Stiffer feel in the heel. I wish the laces were improved but they are about the same.

This is the 3rd pair of Saucony's that I've bought in a years time, & all 3 pairs within a month have had the inside heel area wear out from use! I walk 4-5 miles a day, & my socks rub against the heel area & the CHEAP Material that ur using is CHEAP!!! Change the material, I'm walking not running, Get With It Saucony!

Ordered the largest size they had 15. Second pair . First fit perfect . Second was 1/2 smaller. Return for a 15 wide and that fit better. Wish they had a size 16. I'm 6'4 " 225 and where a 15 regular in all other shoes. Shoe is great !

Like them have worn only Saucony for years I am 82.

Left shoe has saggy heel and hurts my foot after month of use

The Echelons are one of the few running sneakers that fit my wide foot. This is now my third pair - but the inside/back of the heel wears SO quickly. Unacceptably quickly. I've had the sneakers for weeks at this point and there's already a small hole in the fabric that will most likely open up in the next month or two.

Not very much support ok to walk around in but didn't last long running
