Customer Reviews Saucony Echelon 8 Wide

perfect with my orthotic and for wider feet. very comfortable and use it daily

I have used several running shoes under Medicare, all caused me pain on the treadmill. Supervisor, Becky carefully recommended me Echelon Extra Wide. She did a good job. I am able to walk every day on the treadmill without pain. May God bless Becky and Saucony Co for making my day. (Vijay - 82 year senior)

I have tried many neutral running shoes from all the major brands, and the Echelon 8 works best for me. I'm not a runner but use the shoes in the gym on a daily basis. The fit is perfect all the way around from toe box to heel, and the shoe accomodates my custom orthotics. Please Saucony, keep this shoe the way it is and restock my size 14 4e, and I'll be your customer for life.

The extra wide is perfect, I have problem feet and the wide was good but the Extra wide works great

Most comfortable extra wide shoe I own. Excellent Fit and finish. A well-built comfortable shoe. If you need an extra wide athletic shoe, give these a try. Great support for your foot especially if you are a larger person.

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

Best shoes ever owned for my old flat feet. I love them. I bought another pai

I bought based on the colour alone and they came as advertized.

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.

When I first see the weight on website, it really freak me out! But when I got it in hand, its not that heavy. Really comfortable! 10 out of 10. Need more colarway.

I'm a very heavy person who has a very fat, flat foot. I've worn Asics for the past 10 years or so, typically their Nimbus models. After being disappointed with how the gel breaks down, or rather, how I break the gel down, I wanted to find a shoe that was more structurally sound, but still comfortable, as I had issues previously with other "structure" shoes like the Asics Gel Fortify. I think the Echelon strikes that balance well for me. They're not a very elegant shoe, not in the extra wide width, atleast, but they fit my foot extremely well. My toes don't feel squished, and my very minimal arch feels supported. My first day wearing them I did about 3 miles combined of walking and light jogging and they broke in well. I now have about 25 miles or so on them and are holding up. We'll see how long they are able to withstand the demands my weight puts them to, but for now they are a winner.

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 buy Saucony shoes because they are comfortable and they look cool. I am 74, with arthritic knees- my running days are long over.

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.

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 have run in this model for many years. The fit is consistent and the shoe provides great cushioning without being heavy and clunky. The wider toe box is a perfect fit for my foot.

Great, comfortable shoes! I've been wearing Saucony's for 40 years.

I bought these for my husband and he said "give them 5 stars because they're really comfortable."

First pair of the Echelon 7 in a 14m. Found in time that it was actually to big, so I then ordered a pair of Echelon 13M. they are really comfortable shoes. More recently I had another issue with my left foot and I was told by the Podiatrist that we would be changing orthotics again and thought that the 13W would be better suited. I recently received those and as soon as my foot heals, I hope to get the new orthotics and the Echelon 8's and put them to the test. I really like the Echelon with the additional room, and find it to be the most comfortable I've worn. I highly recommend if you have or anticipate orthotics now or in the future. The larger toe box is veryy accomodating as well. The recent order was in black, and if they do as well as I anticipate, I will order another color. I do hope in time that Saucony will intro some additional colors

Fits well with my son's AFOs. I wish they came in more colors.....

This is a wonderful shoe for people like me who have serious foot problems due to long standing arthritis. I require an extra wide, neutral foot bed to accommodate custom made orthotics. I'm on my sixth pair and am very pleased with the fit, quality, and longevity of the echelon model. I think the 8s are a nice improvement over the 7s

By far the best running shoes I've owned. I wear orthotics and this is the first pair of shoes that fit them without any heel slippage. I won't buy another running shoe other than the Echelon

Hard to find 12.5W in any manufacturer. These give good side to side support and saved my pickleball game

This sneaker accepts my orthotics perfectly. It's comfortable and makes managing Plantar fasciitis easy. I recommend them.
