I have bought these in the past and absolutely loved them. These helped my arch support way more than my Cohesion 15 Saucony shoes. My legs feel less fatigued wearing these as well. I walked Disney for 10+ hours and never had calf cramps. And on top of it all, they look amazing!

Have at least 12 pairs of sauconys. Of which, 4 are Shadows. Unfortunately the most recent models are too narrow in the toe bed vs. the older models.Ive been wearing Sauconys for over 35 years and think once you have a good product you shouldn’t modify it. Which you have done

Nice shoes (this would have been my second pair). However, I returned them because the color displayed in the picture is a lot brighter and popping than in actuality. I whish you could find all the color options that can be found in Europe.On a side note, the quality is not great. The old pair lasted less than a year as the fabric behind the Achilles started to deteriorate only after a few months and it is all ripped now.

This shoe was great. I got the "School Spirit" color which was a weaved black/white design. I have had these for about a year and I trained sprints on all surfaces and distance (up to four miles at a time) in them. They fit well and are durable. They were also my everyday shoe, so I wore them everywhere.The only downfall would be the size of the shoelaces. When I first started using them, they would loosen and untie making me tie them mid-run. They were also too short to double knot without making them too tight. After a while, I think they stretched and I could double knot them easily without the shoes becoming undone.
I’ve had these shoes about a month and am pretty happy with them. They look great and seem pretty good quality. They seem to fit pretty standard. My only complaint would be that they don’t seem to have any arch support. I put some Sole insoles in and it fixed the problem. It doesn’t bother me since I run these in a lot of my shoes already and with them, the shoes are comfortable. These shoes have good ventilation.
Over the last couple months I have bought several pairs of the shadow and the originals jazz pro. Oddly the foot bedding has changed. I’ve returned 2 pairs bc the foot padding isn’t as soft a d marshamllow-y as they used to be. Also the tongue on the new ones is no longer padded. They are definitely cheaper quality than they used to be for 80$ shoes. I wear these with scrubs so it’s important that the quality withstand and also that the footbed is comfy! I still have a pair from 3 years ago and these are better quality! Disappointed:(
I haven’t bought shadows in years, I was an avid fan of the Jazz. But since the “81” redesign of the shoe, and utilizing unisex sizing, I’ve moved on to other brands. I went ahead and ordered a pair of the shadows hoping the engineers didn’t ruin these as well. Wrong. The toe box is now tight and uncomfortable same as the 81 unisex redesign. What was once the most comfortable retro shoe, is now just another fashion statement. Similar to onitsuka tigers. These absolutely suck and hurt my feet. I wish Saucony would listen to their customers and go back to making these shoes with the original design. Which was flawless.
A full-fledged Saucony sneakerhead in the States. There's some colorways that are difficult to find over there that are easier to find across the pond. I didn't realize how easy it would be to order from UK. It was literally no different than ordering from the next state over. It just took a little longer to get to me. But these gray Shadow originals with the red? The weight was so worth it. I never see these here. What a shoe.. perfection. Ridiculously comfortable. They always are. Nobody quite does the retro thing like Saucony I believe. You guys are awesome! Already ordered twice this month and I'm just going to keep going!
I’ve always purchased size 12 in saucony shadow original and never complained about the fitting. This time around the sizing was awful. The tongue on the shoes says size 12, but the bottom of the sole says 11.5. I’ve never seen this type of discrepancy before especially from this brand. I requested a return in exchange for a size 13 because size 12 I initially ordered was too tight by 1/2 a size but when the size 13 arrived, I noticed that the tongue of the shoes says size 13 but the soles says 12.5. I can’t even comfortably wear the shoes I’ve always loved because it’s too loose. I’m going to refrain from purchasing shoes from the brand from now on until they fix this issue. Horrible recent production.
Although I ordered the Original Shadow (for men), the shoe I received was nothing like the Original Shadow. (Among other things, it is much, much narrower.) The shoe received might be great for some people. It is well constructed. However, if you want the Original Shadow for men, do not order this shoe.
