I love Saucony shoes. I know this shoe is for runners, but I bought them for walking and every day use. Best shoe on the market. Highly recommended.

Great shoe...again

I Use This Product For: Cross Training
Bought this shoe without trying it on based on experience with my last pair of Sauconys. I normally wear a size 9 but my last pair was a size 9.5 so that's what I ordered on line. Perfect fit. No break-in period. I use them for cross-training and they are PERFECT.

Good shoe for flat strike

Overall a very good shoe. Needs a little breaking in as usual-lace retainer loop tends to dig in too much until lacing exactly right. At 160 lbs, could use just a touch more cushion, but excellent shoe nevertheless.

I used to wear nothing but another brand, but at the recommendation of our local runners store I tried the Echelon 2 and was very pleased both in its performance and durability. It's a great shoe at any price. I'm ordering two more pairs...one for home and one to keep at the gym.

Great Pair of Running/Exercise Shoes

PostedSeptember 8, 2012
I Run: For fun, To stay in shape
I Use This Product For: Running, Casual Wear, Cross Training, Walking
I damaged my feet foolishly running a 7.5K Sound-to-Narrows community event in an inexpensive running shoe last year - damaged nerves near the toes. After suffering pain & discomfort for 5 months, I finally saw a podiatrist who diagnosed the damage and prescribed better running shoe with insoles and metatarsal pads for pressure relief and stability. I purchased the Echelon 2 from a local shoe store in Tacoma last Feb, and after two months my feet were back to normal. The shoe is very comfortable, surprisingly a half size smaller than my normal size in wide width, and has worn well except for the toe area which broke down under toe nail abrasion. I just purchased another 2 pairs at half the retail store price, by ordering online. I used the shoes at YMCA workouts 4-5 times a week.

This is my second pair of Sauconys. The first pair were very comfortable and lasted a long time, so if this new pair is just as good, I will be very happy. And you can't beat the price!

Great Shoe for Me

PostedAugust 29, 2012
I Run: For fun, To stay in shape
I Use This Product For: Casual Wear, Cross Training, Walking
Until recently I kept several pairs of running shoes in my closet, each one the product of a different manuafacturer. Since being fitted for a custom orthotic six months ago, none of the shoes seemed to provide the comfort I needed, so based on a friend's recommendation, I ordered the Echelon 2. Of all the shoes I've worn, the Echelon 2 is the only one that actually seems to work with the orthotic to provide comfort and fit. The arch-lock feature of the shoe is a welcome feature that provides additional support. I'm well pleased witht he product and the price. It'll be nothing for Sauconys for me from now on.

I have had knee replacement and achilles tendon surgery and experience lower leg nerve pain. The Echelon 2 is what I need. I have purchased two pairs and will buy more!

An improved Jazz Style Shoes with more toe room

PostedDecember 13, 2011
I Run: Competitively, For fun, To stay in shape
I Use This Product For: Running, Casual Wear, Walking
This is the holy grail for me as a wide toes runner with
narrow heels.
It has more toe room and fits my entire foot great. Really
holds my ankle well.
It has tons of cushioning so it is very gentle on my joints.
I use Orthodics in them and they fit great.
I'll buy a few to make sure I have them.

This is the little wife....husband has never worn any type walking shoe....custom made boots exclusively since a little boy. His, doctors advise walking now for health. He walked for a while late at night with his boots on then youngest son showed him his Saucony and told him about a shop that personally fits you. He's sold! Needs another pair...walked the knobs off these already. Still walks late at night but doesn't want any other shoe but these for walking. That "shop" is no longer in business so I'm ordering online. I kinda like my man....and am glad he's walking and trying to be healthy...and will be around for a while! He typically wears 9 1/2 but in this shoe requires 10 1/2 but he originally had the "shop" fit him for the best TYPE of shoe that conformed to his foot. Recommend going to the store.

I have found a sneaker that finally fits my foot the way it needs to just the right size, balance, perfect. I haven't come across a sneaker that makes me wanna run until now. looking forward to stocking the closet with several more pair for future use. Saucony-please don't change this sneaker.

good shoe,but durabiliry disappointing.
Posted July 28, 2011
this is an excellent shoe,but the durability is not up to par- the mesh forefoot top of the shoe on my first pair actually ripped- i had a shoemaker repair it with a strong suede material- the second pair is also starting to go.otherwise the shoe is really good- i use it for fast walking.

been wearing saucony for years. got my first pair overseas while in the army. that was 1993 and have worn saucony ever since. refuse to settle for a lesser product from someone else. tried asics, nike, new balance and adidas. as long as saucony makes shoes, they have a loyal customer.
