New Balance 1906L Magnet DAB1299

Reviewer Coni Jo

I wear these to work every day. Even with the “memory foam” I still added a foam insert

Reviewer Stacey Cheatham

This review is based on trying them on once.

I really like this shoe. It's very comfortable for an "old school sneaker", It has a removable insole with surprisingly good arch support and more cushioning then you'll find in a typical canvas sneaker. They're also very soft and won't rub your ankles raw. Unfortunately, I can't justify keeping them, but I find it difficult sending them back, because I like them so much (i.e. only so much closet room for shoes.)

The sizing is very accurate. They may run a little on the large side, but that's what I'd want, so I could wear them with heavy socks in Winter months. So, I disagree with those who suggest sizing up or down, because they're actually quite accurate (they're definitely not too small and I don't think they're even close to being too large, either.) The Teva brand used to run all over the place with sizing, but the last few pair I've owned and have been really consistent and accurate.

I didn't try them on a bike, but I suspect that they're very good bike riding shoes, because the soles are quite firm. In fact, I would have liked them better if the sole wasn't so firm, but I expected them to be firm as bike riding shoes. Overall, I think they're very nice sneakers, but I'm looking for something a little more fashion oriented.

Shoes look and feel great. I'm very happy with them, though I've already scuffed them up a bit from overuse - that should tell you how often I've been using them! I really enjoy these and I'm glad I got them for the summer. Looking forward to getting them clean and bright for much more use. Thank you very much!

I've bought several pairs of the Men's Jazz Low Pro and I really like this shoe. The classic Saucony sneakers are sharp looking, but in my opinion, they don't provide anywhere near the support the Jazz Low Pro offers. Shoe is perfectly snug and there are a ton of really good looking color combinations for this style offered by Saucony.

I've been wearing them almost daily, and have even taken them on a few easy trails. I'm very pleased with these shoes. They still fit very well, are very comfortable, and have been very durable for the price. They are starting to show a bit of wear, but it's not any more than my more-expensive name brand athletic shoes. I'd say these are actually outlasting a few pairs. After a winter and some spring rains, I've found that they don't have as good traction in wet conditions as some of my other shoes, but they're still acceptable in such weather. These are very good fair-weather shoes, good for casual wear, but are still decent shoes for quick jogs or very light hikes. For the money, I think these are great every-day-wear shoes, and they are holding up very well after six months.

Reviewer Leila Hardy

That's different from other folks with "regular" feet. The bones below my toes are exceptionally wide and yet I have a very narrow heel so many shoes just don't fit me well at all. If I get the toe box area wide enough to accommodate my foot, then the heel area is too wide. I usually use those sticky pads in the heel area to make it snug on my heel. Otherwise I walk out of the shoe. This pair, because they go above my ankle, bypasses the too wide of a heel section. I put on a pair of medium socks (not too thin or too thick), loosened the laces and did have a tiny bit of trouble getting my entire foot in the shoe, but once I did, I laced the shoes up medium-tight and walked around. Usually with shoes I have an initial bit of discomfort - the tops or the soles are stiff or my big toe hits an odd spot inside the shoe or whatever. Not so with these shoes! Aside from listening to a bit of interesting creaking/squeaking from the tops of the shoes when I took a step, the toe box area seemed wider than average shoes and my foot felt very comfortable in the area with no squeezing or discomfort in any way. My heels did not seem to slip around inside the shoes at all, maybe because these shoes hold the ankle fairly still. The leather seems to be of high quality - it has that good smell of quality leather and while leather itself doesn't breathe, the ventilation holes on the top of the toe box and around the ankle area seem to be able to keep the foot cool. I wanted this pair because my left ankle often tries to give way on me due to an old injury. I had a tendon tear so badly several years ago that when it tore, it make a loud crack sound that made me believe I'd broken something. It took over 12 weeks just to be able to put weight on that foot again. Tendons never completely heal so when the weather changes or I do too much walking in flip-flops, that tendon starts giving way and is very painful. These shoes that go over the ankle should help keep the tendon from giving way and/or causing me discomfort. Nice pair of shoes that I will get a great deal of use out of!

Reviewer M Hickman

As of this review I don't know how much these shoes cost so I have to rate based on construction and comfort alone. I like to incorporate cost when I can but can't this time. These shoes are extremely light weight and seem to be very well constructed. I don't know how they will hold up when worn while running, but for basic comfort they feel good. They have a bit of a lower ridge in the inside where the toes go and I'm not sure if I like that yet or not. It does give my toes something to sort of grip. The laces allow me to tighten them up since I have a narrow foot. I like the colors and they have a nice, sleek look about them. They don't feel good when worn without socks because of some scratchiness so if you like go sockless you might not like these shoes. But when worn with socks they are very comfortable. I received a size 9 for review and they seem true to size. I normally wear a ladies 11 (I'm female), or a mens 9. Hubs wears a mens 9 and these fit him also.

Reviewer Natalie Claire

These are odd shoes, the shape and the colors clash. There's no stitching or closure to the edges on the tongue so it's just bare foam which looks cheap. The top part has a bunch of different textures and fabrics, plastic, leather, cloth, suede, foam, very thin jacket like material. I don't like that it looks like it's pulling up by the time box, like it will separate. If you normally wear no show socks you might want to use a fuller coverage pair with these. I had some uncomfortable rubbing at my ankle and the top of my foot from the weird seams inside. The shoe is comfortable to stand and walk in and the sole is pretty grippy.

Reviewer Tim Ciccone

I purchased these for a recent vacation to The Mid Gulf Coast of Texas. They were so comfortable, couldn't tell I had them on. The footbed gives just the right amount of support. I wore them fo 18 hrs several days.

Reviewer Kitty Moore

While I had never heard of this brand I decided to give them a shot and see what I thought. I have flat feet which leads to lower back pain so having shoes with adequate arch support is important to me.

I have used these shoes for several months when I go to the gym and I have found they fit well. The arch and side support is good and they are comfortable while wearing.

Aesthetically they are not my favorite but that is an individual taste preference. I’m not a big fan of the plastic piece behind the heel but it isn’t that big of a deal.

I am not a runner and honestly didn’t realize they had the reflective properties for a while until I happened to be out at night when headlights hit them and I saw them suddenly reflect the light. I can see how this is a great quality for those who run at night as it will greatly increase visibility.

These are a high quality, comfortable pair of gym shoes that provide excellent arch support. I do recommend ordering a size smaller than you normally would as they tend to run large.

Impressive shoes.
