Customer Reviews Saucony Originals Jazz 81

These were such a huge disappointment. They fit wonderfully but Ive walked through the soles of both shoes in less than four months. I cant afford to replace walking shoes three times a year.

I Love My shoes! So comfortable and Im looking to buy more

I wish I could return these but I am slightly past the 30 day limit. The toe box is extremely narrow compared to the rest of the Sauconys I own. Not sure why these particular shoes are designed that way but it was disappointing that all my other pairs fit perfectly and this one is designed differently.

Im sooo happy & excited about them they are so adorable and comfy. Would buy the in some other colors.

Im sure these are great shoes but mine were stolen before I had a chance to put them on. Sadly Saucony would not or could not offer to refund, replace, or even offer a coupon for another pair. I hope you get to enjoy your pair and are able to write a review of how comfortable and stylish they are. Good luck and Godspeed, or at least a comfortable walking or running pace in your brand new Jazz 81s

These are orange, not red. If you had the old red ones years ago like I did, don't get your hopes up, but they are still really fun.

I just got these and was very disappointed. The color online said red/white. I got these to wear to football/basketball games because team colors are red and yellow. They are not red. They are orange. People kept making comments like, those are cute but very orange. There also is no arch support and not the most comfortable if on your feet for very long. Very disappointed as I love my Saucony running shoes. I wish the description matched the actual shoe color.

I didn't like the sneakers look, when they arrived, slightly faded color and didn't look new as if it was brand new.

Nine and a half fits like a nine & it says Im eighteen characters too short

I bought these a month ago and I love them. The only reason I'm giving it a 3 star is that the suede leather on the red ones rubs off very easily, leaving a darker brownish red color that is highly noticeable. This came from just normal usage. Other then that, they are super comfortable and I love them.

Fits small. I wear a women's 8 or 8.5 and ordered unisex 7.5 and it's a little short. Nice bounce but no arch support.

Used to love these, I have owned no less than 60 pairs in my life time but Saucony made a drastic change to unisex sizes. This could have been addressed easier by implementing wider sizes but they chose not to. It's hard to say if they run small big narrow and or wide the fit consistency within the classics are at best UNRELIABLE. I've called Saucony many times and politely inquired about doing a slightly wider fit as an option for atleast the basic original Jazz, even just the basic black and blue color, but go no real response. Maybe if they see it in these reviews. IDK

Ive had multiple pairs of these over the last 20+ years with my last pair purchased in 2017. I bought a new pair recently and noticed some changes that are downgrades from the originals I was used to. First the slick fabric hanged from a smooth material to a more textured woven looking fabric, the tongue is no longer padded at all, the insole is more of a thin liner vs an actual insole with padding, and the sizing changed (I ordered my usual 8.5 only to find they were too small). Still a great shoe but why change a classic for the worse?

These shoes are pretty good. I bought the same shoes ~7 years ago which have been the best, comfiest shoes I've ever owned - like walking on a cloud. The tongue was more padded, the sides as well. The new ones feel cheaper. Not bad - I still like them but honestly not as well made as my older Saucony's.

This is my third pair of Jazz sneakers mainly because I like the retro style; however, overall they lack cushion and arch support. They're perfect for just running errands around town, but not for long walks on concrete. As for the color changing UV fabric on the shoes, I didn't really notice a color change. I do get lots of compliments though when I wear them.

I enjoy the look of these shoes, but the comfort isn't there. I wear a 9.5 in women's, which converts to an 8 in mens..They're too small. The black is bleeding into the pink part of the toe, just not very happy with these.

I really like the fit and style of these but after having them just a few months the tread pieces on the bottom of the shoes are breaking off.
