After trying multiple brands of running shoes I have discovered that Saucony makes the best fitting shoes for my taste.  Their shoes are generally wider and not too snug in comparison to other manufacturers which I think is better, at least for me.  However, like some of the other companies in their 2012 shoes, they are shifting to lower heel to toe offsets which make the shoes flatter.  They claim the benefit is that you will have a better midfoot strike on the pavement which is better for you.  I don't know if this is true, but in this shoe it feels to me like there is less cushioning in the heel area which I didn't like since I land on my heels when I run.  The other fit issue in these shoes I discovered is that they have something called "Sauc-Fit" which they say locks in the fit including the heel better (according to the company).  Again, I didn't like it since the back of the shoe is very hard and stiff and it seemed that what is probably a piece of plastic was rubbing against the back of my foot.  Bottom line is that others may like these features but I did not.  I returned the shoes right after trying out of the box.  At the time I also purchased a pair of Saucony Progrid 4 Ride running shoes.  They didn't have these problems so I ordered more of them instead.  Those had conventional heel to toe offsets and no "Sauc-Fit" in them.  So the cheaper shoes to me were the better ones (although I'll have to see how they hold up since the quality does not look quite as good as these on the uppers of the shoes).  Bought multiple ones since in that line they are also moving to lower heels as well.  It looks like this fad is moving across all running shoes - wish these companies would just make conventional shoes and stop the marketing BS.
