Bought these for a trip to Paris- was so excited to wear them but after a long day of my left foot's toes hitting the end of the shoe, my feet ached. They're a little short and now it's too late to return them

Nice wider toe box, just needed 1/2 size down. Like the retro look.

I ordered my size and the fit a little bit too big, and need a more cushiony sole insert. But I love how they come with the extra toe wiggle room in them. I'll order a 1/2 size down on my next order..

Decent shoes that are wide enough in the toe area to give you some wiggle room. They are lightweight and will be a good addition to my summer sport shoe choices.

I loved the shoe but I broke my right foot several years ago and this shoe feels wonderful on the left foot but not on the right. So I must, sadly, return the the pair.

I've liked this model of saucony in the past. I must have ordered a wide before. I sized up with the normal width to accomodate for my very wide feet, but it wasn't enough. I'm hoping to exchange these for a wider width.

This is a men's 7, women's 8.5. I didn't know it was a men's sizing scheme, or I would've ordered a men's 7.5 to correspond to my needed size. This is small/short on my feet.

I have had 3 pairs of well-loved, well-worn Saucony shoes. I ordered a new pair in my usual size 10.5M/12W, but it was too narrow in the toes. I ordered 1/2-size and a full-size larger, but still felt that the toe box was not as roomy as prior pairs. Maybe it’s my feet; I don’t know; but sadly, these are being returned.
I'd also recommend:

I’ve been wearing Saucony shoes for years and love the fit. I don’t know if my feet have changed or if this pair was a little smaller. I’m going to reorder a larger size and hope to get the toe room I’m accustomed to.

Clarks, Vionic, Naturalizer

Overall this Saucony shoe fits like all the others I have bought. I did notice that the tongue is a lot thinner than in the past on any sneaker I have ever had or seen! I wonder if this company is trying to save some money by "cheaping out" on the padded tongue. So far it is not causing any discomfort.

These are very cute. I have been wearing the Jazz for years and can order with comfort that they will fit. Thank you for not changing the style and fit of this shoe. It's a real classic. I do have to put in a better insole.

If your sneaker size fluctuates between sizes and you tend to go up a size rather then down a size I recommend going up a size. I consistently wear a 7.5 and these fit perfect, however If I were to wear a a thicker sock, these would be a little to tight. Love the color, they don’t make my feet look huge. Cute with running pants and workout clothes

The orange is actually yellow and orange. It looks in the photo like a light orange with dark orange, but it is actually very much yellow with the darker orange. Other than that, they are really great looking shoes.

These shoes have style for days and, despite their standard width, they actually fit my wider feet. They are not a comfortable shoe at the beginning though. There is no arch support and the foot bed is very stiff. After a couple weeks of consistently wearing them they are improving but we have a ways to go.

LOVE the orange color, but be warned: NOT colorsafe! First time wearing them today and found that the dye from the suede bled onto the rest of the shoe. It wiped right off, and I love them so much, I'm just going to Scotch guard the heck of them after cleaning them. Fingers crossed that works because I love these shoes!! Super comfy allllll day!

I typically wear a women's size 8 however had to go a half size up because my toe was to the top. Also, just to make sure my mind was not playing tricks on me I compared this size 8 against all of my other size 8 Saucony's and yep, these Saucony Originals Jazz 81 were smaller. So exchanged for a size 8.5 which is a better fit.
