This is the first pair of Saucony shoes I've ever owned and I'm very pleased. I've typically worn the heavy, suede, New Balance 564 fora retro running shoe, but wanted something lighter. The low profile sole is more reminiscent of Onitsuka Tiger shoes, which are also a favorite of mine.
Unlike the Asics shoes, these have a more traditional running shoe style. As vegan shoes, I don't expect them to last long and I'm not expecting a great athletic shoe, because vegan shoes never are, imo. They're very comfortable shoes, although I'd still give the edge to Onitsuka Tigers in that regard. I am slightly worried that they don't breathe well, due to an inner sock lining that covers the entire inside, but that's not a huge factor for me.
The fit is just great for me, but I have somewhat narrow feet. These do run narrow, especially in comparison to the 564, which is wide even in standard widths. My most common athletic shoe sizes are 10.5-11 and I purchased these in a perfect 10.5. For the sake of comparison, I typically wear an 11 in Nike, 10.5 in Onitsuka Tiger and have recently had to size up to an 11.5 in New Balance.
In closing, I'll note that they come with 2 sets of laces in different colors, even though I saw no mention of this anywhere. I ordered them in Navy, and in addition to the Navy laces shown, they also included some in cream that match the stripe. I was actually hoping they would do that and will probably use the cream colored laces.

Only drawback was its mesh. Mesh material is not strong and tears from the middle where the feet folds while moving. Otherwise a great comfortable shoe.

My husband has to stand on his feet for twelve hours a work day and says they fit perfect and do not bother his feet at all.

These are my third straight pair. Seems like they aren't as comfortable as the former two, but still good overall. Maybe just my own getting older makes them not seem as comfortable. We'll see if they are constructed as well as the former pairs which lasted me many years each.

These remind me a lot of sneakers I had been wearing most of my life, except they have the added wall of rubber around the bottom. In this case, the tan goes very well with the green, so I don't mind it at all.
I usually wear a 13 in sneakers or sometimes a 12 in work or hiking boots, and the 13 fits me perfectly. I mean, these shoes feel just a little loose in general, but that's just how you wear them. And they're not a stiff sole, so they're comfortable, but definitely a far cry from some of the hiking shoe crossovers I sometimes wear. Also, the reason I wear a 13 is more because of foot width than anything, and although these look fairly thin, they are not nearly as thin as some sneakers AND the lack of rigidity really makes them comfortably conform to my foot from a width standpoint.
They're definitely more attractive if your size and color choice happens to be the low priced model they keep around for advertising reasons. They look nice, but they're not going to last (looking new) for too many months.

Very much like the shoe!

I find this brand width is short for me. length is just right.
Reviewer Thunderluis
I love these shoes, I wear a size 10-10&1/2 normally and these are narrow so I got the 11&1/2 size, which fits fine with plenty of toe room!
Reviewer Valerie Kelley
I ordered these shoes but i've already had experience with skechers and they do run a little big so i ordered a size smaller. It's a comfortable shoe.
Reviewer Shirley M Barnes
These are really good looking shoes and the comfort is fantastic. I ordered EE and was worried they might be just a little to wide but they fit perfect.
They felt like I had been wearing them for years right from the moment I put them on. They are 5 stars all the way for me.
