Having paid $32 on Amazon for these, they were a very good deal. Now I also own the Echelon E2, currently running $100. I didn't expect these to be the same quality, and it's true, they're not. Where the E2 has leather through much of the body, these are wholly synthetic, mostly nylon fabric. But I can find no manufacturing flaws. I look closely at glue lines on cheap shoes, and these are perfect, which I think speaks to Saucony using a conscientious maker. The fit (size 14) agrees well with the E2. Almost too much toe room, which is vastly better than not enough. The sole is a decent design. I have to avoid a lot of soles when they have smaller grooves, because those pick up the decomposed granite from my driveway and track it into the house. They are well padded and feel very close to the E2 in terms of foot feel, ground resilience, roll-out, etc. And in common with the E2, they are very easy to put on. We'll see how they hold up to walking, but at this price point, it's good enough that they're a decent soft shoe that's not limited to black and white. As a pretty plain tan shoe, "Jazz" is maybe a bit strong, but I jazzed mine up with red laces, and they're much more fashionable now.
