Customer Reviews Saucony Originals Jazz 81

I have owned 3 or 4 pairs of Saucony Originals Jazz and was looking forward to an update. The grey and gold looked nice. Unfortunately, the toe box on Saucony Originals Jazz 81 is smaller, and that was a deal-breaker for me. There was room between my toe and the front of the shoe, but the top was pressing on my big toenail too much. The tongue also did not seem as soft as the regular Jazz, and the collar of the shoe did not feel as comfortable. Hope I can find the regular Jazz.

I ordered these in gray/ gold and love the way they look! I was able to remove the insoles and wear the shoes with my custom orthotics, so they are super comfortable. But unfortunately, after wearing the shoes for 2 weeks the treads on the sides of the sole started to break off. Since I really only wore them to work on tile flooring & for errands, I wouldn’t expect that much wear and tear on the soles immediately. Also, the toe box must be very low because my toe rubs the top of the shoe and began wearing a visible hole into the fabric at the front of the shoe on both feet within a month. It’s really too bad - I love the look of the shoe and they were very comfortable, but the quality is so poor that I can’t recommend them. It’s a bummer because I bought 2 pairs and need to replace both after only 2-3 months of light wear :(

Love these! They run a little bigger than the bullet, but I ordered the same size as I normally wear in Saucony. They are also a much squishier feel.

I definitely needed a half size larger than I normally do with these shoes. The toe box was kind of low and it rubbed on my toe in my normal size. I might add some arch supports, but they are pretty comfortable otherwise.

Based on other reviews, I ordered 1/2 size up, which I often do with athletic shoes. I found the heel in these to be wide and my foot kept sliding forward. I usually fix this by using the additional lacing hole many athletic shoes have located horizontally next to the last lacing hole. These shoes don't have that hole. Thinking a smaller size might fix the problem, I ordered 1/2 size down. Unfortunately the heel was still wide and my foot continued to slide forward so I had to return them. It's too bad because they're really cute and were comfortable to stand still in.

I love them, Saucony Jazz are one of my favorite shoes ever!

LOVE THESE SHOES! I teach Pilates and I am on my feet all day! I love these shoes- great support and cute to go along with the comfy! I would get every color combo! Usually wear a 7 or 7.5- ordered these in a 7.5 and they fit perfect! What do you have to lose?! Order these!

Have purchased this style of Saucony’s for years. They never disappoint.

I LOVE these shoes. I've been looking for a comfy but cute white sneaker and the third time was the charm. I would buy these again or in a different color. They're super comfy, I can wear them all day. Highly recommend this great shoe (and Saucony, keep making this in other colors!)

This is my second pair of these shoes. Comfortable for an entire day at Disney world! Love the look of them with dresses and shorts.

Cute ,very light weight, very grippy sole. Perfect for travel.

Love them! Colors are great! My daughter dripped chocolate syrup on them day 1 but with the help of a magic eraser, it cleaned right off.

This style has a nice width and roomy toe box. At first, I thought they were too small, but my foot was just sliding forward. I tightened the laces and then the fit was very comfortable.

Very comfty

I feel you have to size up to have a comfortable feel

I had to order half size up. I wear an 8 so went up a half size. Worked perfectly. Love the grippy exaggerated tread. Also love they provide lace color choice. Very light weight. Great for travel.

Comfortable. The white with blue shoe strings will go with just about anything,.

My second paid of Saucony Jazz. I think they provide more support than NB and are just as stylish for everyday kicks.

Love the shoe, just ran a tad narrower than the other one I bought. I own 5 pair of Saucony and don't wear anything else. They are the only shoes that are comfy right out of the box.

These are beyond what I expected--so cute, comfortable and stylish without being trendy. The color goes with everything! I love them and have worn them every day since they arrived.

Love 'em!!!

Perfect fit! This will be a cute comfy walking shoe.
