Daughter gave me an Amazon gift card for my birthday (I am hard to shop for as I have everything I need or want).  Noticed everyone wearing new style kicks so I wanted to upgrade.

Did a lot of comparison shopping in bricks & mortar plus online prior to my purchase.  The reviews are what made me choose this particular shoe.  VERY glad I did my homework and am especially appreciative of those who posted reviews of this product.  I chose these shoes standing on the reviewers shoulders.

These shoes are VERY lightweight.  Seem lighter than some of the heavier socks I wear.  Amazing.

I have a wide, EE foot.  I used to purchase +1/2 size to get the width I needed.  These fit me perfectly in my native size with the wide (2E) model.

They were instantly comfortable from the first wearing.  No break in of any sort.  The shoe's sole is not a zero rise/zero drop but is definitely not your usual cushioned heel either.  I won't debate the merits of any particular sole/waffle style; to each his own.  But this has less rise than traditional shoes but is still more comfortable than a true zero rise sole.

Love the looks/style.  Draw lots of admiring glances (I am an old fart living in a warm climate; I wear this type of shoe year round).

Sole looks slippery but grips surprisingly well.  Seems to be wearing well too.  I run/walk exclusively on asphalt and concrete and the soles are holding up well so far.

One small complaint: when I wear my lowest quarter socks, the molded heel cups sometimes rubs the skin on the back of my ankle.  Feels like sandpaper abrading my skin.  I can cure by wearing higher socks if I choose to.

I have owned many brands of shoes before and somehow, I always seem to circle back to the Saucony brand.  For me, best fit and best wear.  Saucony serves me better than any other brand of shoe.
