Customer Reviews Saucony Originals Shadow Original - Distressed

Exactly what I was looking for!! I have owned several Saucony Jazz/Originals and these are true to size. Perfect casual, lifestyle sneakers.

Awesome everyday shoes

I’m not sure how this is possible but these shoes actually breathe pretty well. After about a day of wear they will be broken in and ready to go. No issues walking 5-6 miles with them. Very stylish, classic and slightly dressier look with the leather.

These shoes go with everything. I have wide-ish feet so they felt a little narrow at first. They are leather so they stretched a little and are perfect now. Not a lot of arch support but they're cushy. Also, kept my feet dry when it rained.

True to size, and so comfortable. They didn’t require breaking in at all and have become one of my favorite pairs of sneakers I’ve ever bought! Definitely not the first pair I’ll buy!

Love these shoes!! They are my go to's for running around town. Super stylish and retro vibe.

These shoes were very comfortable and the leather is super soft. No need to break in these shoes. The only issue I had was the way they looked on my feet. I didn’t like the circular shapes on sides of the shoe near the front.

Leather is very soft, broken in after one wear comfortably, I purchased white they say distressed but they look and feel clean and fresh, my first pair of Saucony since 2001 wish they made more all leather pairs

I would suggest half or full size larger because they're short in the toe.

Very pleased with this shoe. Good quality. Very comfortable. Love the look of it. As always, Zappos customer service and shipping is excellent. Happy customer!

These sneakers are a dream come true. I am a nurse so I’m on my feet for many hours a day. They get more comfortable as I wear them.

I love the color and finish of these sneakers and they have a really firm footbed, which I also like. Not a fan of the unfinished tongue and they felt tight so I returned to size up a half size.

I have worn sauconys before and they have always been very comfortable shoes and this pair is okay. My biggest issue is that they are absolutely the cheapest looking pair I’ve ever seen. In the product images, I missed the fact that the tongue of the shoe is left unfinished, with the interior foam exposed and uneven trim . There is some gapping where the body of the shoe is glued to the tread. It just looks like shoddy construction that will quickly fall apart.

I like the looks of this shoe but they felt slightly tight and no arch support. Returning.

They fit well and look cool, but the quality isn't great. The tongue seems unfinished and threads are coming loose, and even though it's only been a few weeks of daily wear, the rubber outsole is already coming off.

The style was good but it was way too big. Plus the foot bed was very hard and would not have been very comfortable.

Bought the black. Not distressed at all. Heel also slips. Returning. :/

While I thought these shoes were very attractive, I found them to be stiff and uncomfortable. I have purchased Saucony shoes for years because of their unrivaled comfort, but these seemed to be an anomaly. I walked out of the heel with each step and the cushioning that Saucony normally provides was just not there. Stiff, and lacking in comfort.
