I have worn Saucony shoes for many years.  Time and age have caught up with me and I now have to wear an ankle support.  I wanted to replace my beat-up Saucony's that allow for this brace after taking out the shoe lining.  I bought 3 pairs of new Sauconys; 1 regular pair in the same size I always have worn, 1 pair of man's shoes following the "Add 2 sizes rule for women's shoes" and another pair of man's shoes in 1/2 size larger just in case the 1st wouldn't facilitate the brace.... I am vain and I liked the colors so I was willing to try the man shoe because they came in red. Unbelievably, not one pair, NONE, zip, nada of these shoes fit!  The toe box an all three pairs of shoes is much less roomy than my older Sauconys.  The length was also short even without the brace being worn or the inside lining taken out. I don't know who is making Sauconys now because they aren't the same quality shoe that I have worn.
