Wearing these to ymca. Fit is perfect. I bought 1/2 size larger than I normally wear and that worked out well with very roomy toe box that I wanted due to aging toenails.

This is a nice sneaker with plenty of cushion in the sole.
Consider ordering a half size bigger as it tends to run a little small.

The very best value in a durable, comfortable boat shoe. I wear them every day, all the time during cooler months, some of the time (when not wearing my wonderful Teva Katavi flips). This is my second pair, the first still not worn out after 9 years, but starting to look a bit shabby after a lot of wearings. Easy to slip on and off without having to sit or bend over, even with socks, but nice to wear without socks also in cooler weather. Pretty amazing shoes, great fit.

Great shoe, very comfortable right out of the box and look great. They seem to run a little big. I had to get a half size smaller than normal.

This is my husband's second pair of Saucony gym shoes and he loves them. They're lightweight and comfortable. I don't know how they'd be for running but he wears them during his commute to and from the train station.

The shoe fit pretty good except that the back was a bit too short and it wasnt as deep as hoped for the insert. Have a hard time finding shoes for size 17 long toe foot. Usually cant find a wide enough toe bow so have been trying the wide width. They were so close to being what was wanted, but did return the shoes. Burgendy/hemp is not as bad as red, but I'll wear most colors if I can just find the right fit.

Good walking shoes--could be a bit wider!

I normally wouldn't consider a synthetic leather shoe, because I'd never seen any that weren't awful in nearly every way possible. The only reason I considered these is because I needed shoes that fit very particular criteria and one of them was that they're synthetic. So I ordered a pair to evaluate them and the verdict is very positive.
It's not real leather, but it's close. It actually reminds me of cheap leather shoes, but without all the creasing (like comfortable Reeboks, which used loose leather for comfort). The rubber sole seems comfortable and the synthetic lining looks like it'll be easy to keep clean. It has average arch support and the insole is stuck in place, but it does offer good cushioning.
I ordered my normal sneaker size and it fits great, so I'd say the sizing is perfect (I wear a a half size larger in New Balance and sometimes with Nike). The laces are a little long, but just a little and they're nice laces.
Overall, they're nice shoes. No, they're not real leather and I didn't judge them as if they were. But there are some advantages with synthetic leather shoes and these will work great for those who understand they're not leather.

The main problem is that the heel strap is not adjustable and it is cut too short to allow the heel to rest at the intended spot thereby pushing the whole foot forward so toes hang over the front edge. While the length of the footbed is a 9, the useable space is only an 8.5 because the heel strap is cut too short and not adjustable. Order a half size larger than you normally would.

Great shoe, It just was a little big.
