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.

I bought them as a gift for my husband. He wore them when traveling overseas and walked a lot.
The leather is stylish and elegant. He loves them a lot.

It’s been really hard to find shoes that I like for the last few years but these stuck out to me as I was browsing. The black suede is subtle, with the white banding for contrast to really set it apart. I was expecting a heavier shoe but these are lightweight and made well with the durable suede leather. I can confirm that they are in fact real suede and so I made sure to Scotchgard the moment they arrived so that they would not get damaged by rainy Weather. So far they have held up extremely well.
The main thing that I do not like about them is that the laces come to the very very top of the shoe. That means that if you need to tie them at all you have about half an inch. You should definitely expect to be buying replacement laces.

I ordered these shoes for my 14yo son and they are working out great! He has been wearing them to school for over a month and he likes them a lot. They are holding up well and still look newish. Plus he says they are comfortable. I believe him too because he is incredibly picky, lol. I requested this pair in his current shoe size and I would say these shoes are true to size (tts).
I like these shoes because they match nearly all of his outfits. I also the dark color hides a lot of dirt. The outer material is nice quality and has been easy enough for me to spot clean. I can't think of one bad thing to write about these shoes and it appears they will last a while. I would definitely consider them a good deal.
