Best running shoes I've ever owned. Exceptional cushioning.
Reviewer Stephanie B Head
This is the first pair of Saucony shoes I've ever owned and I'm very pleased. I've typically worn the heavy, suede, New Balance 564 fora retro running shoe, but wanted something lighter. The low profile sole is more reminiscent of Onitsuka Tiger shoes, which are also a favorite of mine.
Unlike the Asics shoes, these have a more traditional running shoe style. As vegan shoes, I don't expect them to last long and I'm not expecting a great athletic shoe, because vegan shoes never are, imo. They're very comfortable shoes, although I'd still give the edge to Onitsuka Tigers in that regard. I am slightly worried that they don't breathe well, due to an inner sock lining that covers the entire inside, but that's not a huge factor for me.
The fit is just great for me, but I have somewhat narrow feet. These do run narrow, especially in comparison to the 564, which is wide even in standard widths. My most common athletic shoe sizes are 10.5-11 and I purchased these in a perfect 10.5. For the sake of comparison, I typically wear an 11 in Nike, 10.5 in Onitsuka Tiger and have recently had to size up to an 11.5 in New Balance.
In closing, I'll note that they come with 2 sets of laces in different colors, even though I saw no mention of this anywhere. I ordered them in Navy, and in addition to the Navy laces shown, they also included some in cream that match the stripe. I was actually hoping they would do that and will probably use the cream colored laces.

My husband loves these shoes and has been wearing a pair for about 2 years. He pronates pretty badly and the old shoes needed replacing because they were losing stability. We ordered this pair knowing he wanted the exact same shoes. They are perfect, with "new shoe" support for his ankles. He loves this shoe because due to Parkinson's he has difficulty tying shoes and wants to be able to step into his shoes. These look and feel like lace-up shoes. He wears them to walk for exercise, but he also wears them to go out running errands etc.

So far the shoes are very comfortable. I was having foot pain and bought the Pumas after a lot of research.

Best all around shoes for summer. Light weight, vented, and non slip like Topsiders. My new everyday shoe for summer

Very happy with the product now that I have replaced the insole with one that adds to the arch support. the insole has also improved the fit which was a little loose. Easy shoe to wear.. comfortable and light weight. I did reverse the shoe lace coming through the top eye .. comes in from below the eye instead of going through the eye from the top of the eye. Not sure how that might have impacted the fit but it does make it easier to get in and out of the shoe. For me .. being able to remove the insole and replace it with one providing more arch support and cushioning has made a big difference.
NEW DEVELOPMENT .. after less than two months of not very frequent use the thin dark grey outer sole(that part that hits the ground) has worn off. Did not realize that the surface that hits the ground was so thin and quick to disappear. This new development has changed my evaluation of these shoes. So .. shoe fits, feels good and looks nice but disappoints when it comes to being worth the money.

Great quality, bought 2 pair. Run a little big.

I got a half size larger based on past experience with other athletic shoes and they fit fine. Toe box is not cramped at all. Memory foam makes shoe very comfortable to wear.

These icons have not changed in 20+ years and there’s a reason for it, “don’t mess with perfection”! They are comfortable, clean lines, awesome to look at and can be worn with many different clothing styles. They are never out there this cheap!
Reviewer C S Gonzales
These are fantastic. When I first received these, I hated them to be honest. It wasn't until i went camping with these that I learned the true value of these shoes. hiking through Tahquamenon falls in the upper peninsula in Michigan, I trekked through water, dirt, mud, asphalt, concrete, sand dunes, you name it, and these remained 100% comfortable and reliable the whole time.
