Customer Reviews Saucony Originals Jazz Original

They are a comfy, pretty durable unless you walk through things you would need a boot for, good traction and decent price you honestly get what you pay for unlike other shoes. Gellin insoles are a nice final touch.

These are nice, comfortable shoes. They are great if you use orthotics. Your orthotics slip nicely under the included insert. Unfortunately, this made an obnoxious squeaking noise for about the first week or two due to the rubber under the insert rubbing on my orthotics, but things seem to have cooled down now. My only complaint is that the shoe itself does not provide quite as much lateral support as I need for my pronating feet. But they look good!

Even after I stopped competitive athletics finding a all around economical training shoe was a problem. I\'ve had Nike, K-Swiss, Adidas, while with teams. In my senior at college in L.A.CA I only had a small budget to work with, but I enjoyed running track on the schools dirt field and wind sprints on their soccer field grass. I also needed something that could be thrown in the laundry machine and dry out quickly since it was my only pair. I found a pair of these black on black Saucony on sale (they only size 13 left) for $36.00! That was in 1991. I ran on average of 3 miles a day for days a week, and weight trained in them for the next five years. They were comfortable, light weight, simple, and durable. A totally underrated shoe by all accounts. After they wore out I finally went back to the sporting good store to buy another pair. They didn\'t carry this model anymore. I succumbed to NB trail shoes and have been wearing them since, but I\'m going back to this model since you carry. And since they are so economical why not get a variety of colors!

Good shoe. I like the fit and look. The only problem I have run into is that my toe almost immediately wore out the coloring on the top of the shoe. The discoloration looks as if I have spilled two drops of water right where my big toes are underneath. It is not a big deal, but very strange. I wondered if it was because I got the silver/black coloring and the tops of the shoes are very light. Overall though, I like them a lot.
