Customer Reviews Saucony Originals Jazz Original

While I have been buying Saucony shoes for years, this was my first foray into the originals. Usually, I would buy the Low Pros. These shoes aren't bad, but in my opinion are slightly less comfortable that the Low Pros. They feel like they have less arch support, which in turn throws off the feel of the entire shoe. They're still very comfy, and I would recommend these shoes to just about anyone (provided that they cannot find the Low Pros anywhere). I should also note that these shoes make terrible restaurant work shoes. They have zero traction on the bottom and you will be slipping and sliding all over the place.

Looks great, very light casual shoe. Not extremely durable but overall a good affordable addition to a shoe collection.

Apparently people don't have arches anymore, because these shoes and several others I've recently tried certainly don't. The padding of this shoe doesn't conform to your foot. It is just flat foam, and not too squishy at that. The construction of the shoe is good, aside from some odd stitching in the nylon where the toe bends. It is very lightweight and easy to walk in if you aren't going to be on your feet all day.

This tennis shoes are really comfortable. I got the pair for a business trip to China and they didn't disappoint. Upside - stylish and comfortable downside - need to be really careful when walking on slippery areas, other than that I enjoy these shoes very much.

My husband loved the shoe...and he enjoys the comfort of the shoe. The only dislike is how high they are but over time he will break them in. I was also kind of wavering on the neon green but he can matched a lot of the clothing with the grey.

Great fit and great style. Wife thought they looked like old-man shoes but whatever. Also came with an additional pair of red laces.

Good shoe but one complaint: I like this shoe BUT the little angle at the end of the sole provides for an annoying heel strike when walking. It is bothersome enough to make me return the shoes. I would recommend trying them on before buying to see if it bothers you, too. Other than that the shoe is comfy and looks good, just wish they didn't have that bevel at the end of the shoe!

The Saucony Originals Jazz Original is a great shoe. I not only use it for running but also as the pair I wear everyday. I find it to be very comfortable when you where them in moderation. For example, I wore these shoes for an eight hour shift at work where I stand almost the entire shift. At the end of the shift my foot felt a little sore but in a certain area right in the middle of my left foot. The right foot was fine though for some reason. All in all this is a great shoe for running and every day use. Grab a pair today!

I love this brand. I have 6 pairs of these shoes. The originals are not my favorite though; I like the low pro and bullets much better.

I ordered these men's shoes because the women's were too narrow and the men's worked out fine.

Very comfy shoe. I wear them for every day running around and at the gym. I'm a little concerned that the nylon toe and sides will wear out over time but so far, so good.

Fit well and are very comfortable. Pictures show more pronounced colors than the actual product. I worry about the longevity, how durable the shoe is, and the build quality, but seem well enough for a cheap sneaker.

Have had a pair of these for four months; the leather stretched quite a bit and now they are too big. My foot flops around inside, causing my heel to often sit crooked in the back, going to get rid of them. The sole is a giant pillow though.

I bought these shoes because I heard great reviews from my friends and family. I could not find them locally so I decided to order them off this web site, I even had to guess the size but everything worked out perfectly. The shoes have a great feel, they slip on with ease and are not heavy. They offer good support as well. The only time I have noticed that my feet hurt is when I was on my feet for more then 4 hours at a time. I also hear they are great for running, but I do not do that too much. Overall this shoe is much better then most others and provides support along with a stylish design. I think I will buy more in the future.

I was looking for a nice old school sneaker that would provide a little more padding than Cons or Vans. These fit that bill. The only complaint I have, and it's exceptionally minor, is that the heel cup is a little weak and wants to bend. But for this price and for what I wanted it's the perfect shoe.

These shoes were basically exactly what I wanted at the moment. I think they're more silver than they appear in the picture (which to me is kinda gray even though they're labeled silver) but I think they still look good. As for cushion/arch support, there is about none. I have super flat feet and luckily read the reviews and got some additional orthotics to put in them. After the orthotics, they turned out pretty well. I got dragged into a game of football at a family gathering the first day I wore them and they worked well for what they are. Not the best athletic shoes but good looking casual shoes.

Comfy shoe, but I found the low profile version to feel more comfy. Not only is the back taller, but the heel is a tad higher in original version. Saucony's are great for me because I'm a flat foot, and there is almost no arch support at all.

This is the fifth pair of this model Jazz that I've purchased from Zappos. They are always quirky, cool and super comfortable. Not good for a full day of walking, but look great. Zappos service is incredible too with the shoes arriving at least a day before expected.

I really like these shoes, but mostly for their looks. They aren't athletic shoes. If my orthotics didn't provide necessary arch support, I couldn't wear them.

This is a standard Saucony. Pretty solid, comfy, stylish, and I'm sure will last me awhile. The only con to this shoe is the shade of the green trim. It's much lighter than the picture. Almost the same as the rest of the material so overall it looks light a light green/almost white shoe. It's not what I was looking for, but still cool.

I bought these to replace the same shoe (only in green on green) and I have to say, they're not the same. It seems like my old shoes were just made better. Don't get me wrong - the new ones are good shoes and for the price you can't go wrong. But they're just not quite as high quality as the ones I bought 4-5 years ago. The leather is creasing in weird places and the tongues sometimes bunch up down by your toes. Good shoes, nonetheless...

This is the fifth pair of Jazz Originals that I have owned. They are super comfortable and light. You cannot beat the cost. Saucony makes certain colors for a while and then they seem to stop. Ten years ago you could choose between many colors for Men’s Jazz Originals. A few years ago, they cut down their choices to around five. This model is a brand new color. I have noticed that this pair of shoes seems a bit more durable than the ones I’ve had in the past. Go for it!

Fits super comfortable, great for jogging. But the bottom is very high up. Feels/looks like a woman’s shoe, it’s almost like a high heel. Would recommend the Jazz low pro instead.
