In their words
“For many years, I was strictly a Saucony running shoe devotee. Somewhere along the line, I bought a series of other shoes, and I was never totally satisfied. You guys had a great sale on these, and I bought in. I am very glad that I did. These shoes support my running stride perfectly. They are very comfortable walking shoes as well.”

“I walk 3 1/2 miles 4-5 times a week and needed a new shoe. Shoe is comfortable, but within 2 months, padding under my big toes wore out and had to replace with padded inserts. Laces always untie and you have to double knot. Now after 8 months, padding on the back of the right heel also wore out exposing the plastic inside that rubs against the back of my heel making them useless now.”
