Skechers went cheap . . . as in cheaply made . . . so, I went searching for another brand after over 10 years of wearing nothing but Skechers. I tried on Reeboks, Asics and these Saucony Grid Cohesion 3. I kept only the Saucony, and am happy to find out it was a great choice. They fit perfectly. (I got a C/D size.) They have terrific arch support. They are nice looking. They wash well in the washing machine, and dry in 12 hours or less. They are everything one needs in a pair of athletic shoes.

Update 11/29/11:

Overall, I was pleased with these shoes.  The only major flaw was a toe hole in one shoe within a few months of wearing.  This apparently is a common problem with some Saucony running shoes, and it should not be happening.  The shoes washed very well in the washing machine.  After about six months, there was wear on the surface.  After about 11 months, the soles of the shoes started coming undone from the top of the shoes.  This year, I have gotten a pair of Asics, and do intend to put them in the washing machine, even though they say not to do so.  Asics feel a bit stiff on the top of the shoes.  I also am getting a pair of Skechers.  I haven't seen them yet, but they were half the price of these shoes, and all Skechers fit me wonderfully.  I did not want to risk having to send another pair of shoes back, as I have had to do recently with both a Saucony pair and an Asics pair.
