This is a well built shoe; with the exception that the tongue is too short. Fits a little tighter than expected, but will probably loosen up with use. Feels more like a road shoe than a trail shoe; should be fine for transitioning from hard surfaces to light trails, and for short to medium length training runs. All in all not a bad shoe for the price.  I find that I need to add to my previous review; after running in these shoes I have come to the conclusion that they are NOT meant for trail running! The out soles have very poor traction on any surface except hard top ( concrete, asphalt). The soles are so mushy that anything you step on feels like you've landed on a golf ball. I can see why Saucony has discontinued these shoes. If I hadn't already run in these I would be returning them.
