Looking forward to using but have to return because the size 8.5 is actually 1/2 size too small. Unfortunately Zappos is out of stock in a size 9.

Love the cushioning. Perfect amount. Gives a good pushback. Also I like the lightness of this shoe. Only con is the material of the sole easily shreds or ruins when barely scuffed across something

I discovered Saucony Axon from DSW. They were the most amazing shoes and my feet loved them. That's saying a lot, as I have had foot surgery, I am a waitress on my feet constantly. I loved them so much that 2 years ago I ordered 4 pairs. They were the original Axons. I was down to my last pair and decided to order more. To my disappointment the original were no longer available. I spoke/live chat with a representative and was assured that the Axon 3 was exactly the same that the outsole was the only change. Got my shoes, wore them, reached out to Saucony because the Axon 3 fit like a wide. They told me there's no difference in the sizing. I've been wearing your shoes for over 3 years and I promise you I know how the Axon fits and the Axon 3 is wider, as a result my feet slip around in the shoes. I've resulted in wearing thicker socks in them and rotating my shoes with the Original Axon.

A great shoe. However, the previous Axon 3 had more of a rocker toe which made walking much easier. This is my third pair of Saucony shoes. Keep up the good work.

Love the shoe and its supportiveness, which makes my feet securely hit the ground and helps with toe off, running or walking. This shoe, like a couple of Sauconny's other styles right now, angles in the toe box in a way that abuts the distal tip of my right (long) 2nd toe. Historically, I've compenstated by buying a half-sized larger Sauccony, but going to a full size longer is going to make my heel swim in the shoe. I am afraid this style won't work for me and I sent them back. Well constructed, nice looking hoe, though.

I have been using these shoes for walking, minimal running and they are comfortable and fit well. Great pair of beginners shoes.

Just did a 6k run with these - comfortable toebox. I often wear 7.5 (in Hokas) but sized up to an 8 to accommodate my orthotics and a thicker sock. That was the right call. Narrower heel but felt great. Nice cushion but still structured. Not quite as swift as my Mach 4s but I think I'll get a lot of miles out of these.

I don't like the way the material feels. It seems thin enough that I'm going to put my toenail right up through it. (That was how my last shoes died.) I don't care for the appearance, with the contrasting colors.

It’s been more than 20 years since I purchased a pair of Sauconys, but I decided to revisit the brand after my expensive Hokas fell apart in six months. I was a bit confused by the very different reviews for this product. Quite a few said it ran small while others said it ran big. I consistently wear a size 6 when it comes to athletic shoes across every brand I have tried (Nike, Hoka, Adidas, Puma, Sketchers, Asics), and my last pair of Sauconys were also a size 6. This style runs a full size too small. I did appreciate the arch support but the rest of the shoe was stiff, and the pink was a bit too neon for me.

These shoes seem ok. I really like the non-bendy rocker sole and the fairly cushioned interior. The width is good for my average feet, similar to a Hoka wide. I don't like that the upper fabric seems a bit baggy -- I had to redo the laces (I left the bottom holes unlaced) in order to take up some of the fabric slack on the sides. I'm not sure if the shoes were made like that or if the previous wearers stretched it out. Overall I ordered two pairs of these in different sizes to try and both had clearly been worn before, both with some creases in the sole and one with dirt on the bottom!

Previous model Axon 2 was so much better - more comfortable and less chunky. Not a fan of this model.

Not the best shoes if you have plantar fasciitis. Tried out the shoes for a couple runs and always ended up having pain from these shoes. I bought these shoes for easy runs/ everyday running, but I won't be wearing them very often to prevent injury.

But the arch support is not strong enough for my high arch. I recommend only for a person with standard foot arches

I have 2 pairs of the Axon 2, these are awesome for TMT arthritis in the foot as you "roll-off" the forefoot when propelling forward. Unfortunate the Axon 3 will be returned. These seem to have lost that distinct cantilevered feel when propelling forward. They are wonderfully cushioned, and may be great for others not needing that roll-off feature. Also, the toe box seems bigger and more rounded, and there simply seems to be too much fabric...like it would be great for a fat, thick or swollen foot. As such, had to return.

Was excited to try these new runners as Saucony has always fit my feet well. However, these ones are not comfortable. They are too high and my feet hurt so much after wearing them for only a short time.

I should have read the reviews first that some people said they are narrow. And because this style doesn't come in a wide, I am returning them. Too bad, because overall they are very nice looking and accommodating to my right toe arthritis (if it wasn't too narrow)

Very cushiony, but the outside of both of my feet are hurting after wearing these for about two week. I've never had this happen with other saucony shoes before so this was very odd and painful.

the tip of shoe comes up significantly. So much, that you foot rolls forward when just trying to stand normal.

The shoes are stiff and I developed a blister the first time I wore them. I've been happy with previous Saucony shoes, but I will never buy this style again.

These sneakers are great looking, but they are so 'cushiony' that I felt that if I jumped with them, I could twist an ankle when landing on the floor.
