Unfortunately they do not accommodate my bunions. Stiching over the top hurts. I have an old pair of pro grid that fit like a glove. I wish you would consider people with bunions (just mesh, no stitching over top)

Excellent for overpronators

I have heard about Saucony from serious runners for years and have been told over and over again to go to a serious running store and get fitted for the best shoe. So, I took the plunge and have saved myself a lot of pain ever since. I would say my Saucony Stabil CS 2's and using compression sleeves have been the 2 things that have allowed me to keep running without lots of pain. This shoe is fantastic for overpronators. Also, I fractured a few spots on my foot 20 years ago and it's never been the same. I need lots of support. Saucony Stabil CS 2's give me the support I need.
My only complaint is that Saucony's are still plain in comparison to other shoes. Live a little! Splash a little color on them! The lack of color won't prevent me from buying them, but I'd buy more pairs if I could have lots of bright colors.

I really like these shoes. I have flat feet and normally just buy whatever looks cute. I decided to try buying shoes that are made for my feet and so far its been working out for me. I run almost every other day. I have only had them for a week but so far so good.

Style getting better....comfort the same!

PostedMay 10, 2013

I like flashy shoes. I like the cool running sneakers with all the vibrant colors at once. And when i get new shoes i like them to look different than the old ones. Ive had purple, blue and now pink. They havent changed too much. The pinks are the best style wise, as they have the shiny silver and color trim up near the ankel too. But the reason i keep coming back is that these are the best shoes on the market for over pronation. I have had problems with my achilles since childhood. I have had multiple sprains and injuries. I have had surgery and worn orthopedic shoes. (perhaps the reason I'm so sensitive to style). The only shoe in the last 15 years that has really felt comfortable is this one. Initially, i was willing to sacrifice style for comfort. But now, although its not the wild style i love, it is better. And i recognize that most of my demographic, and let's face it...the folks that really need an over pronator shoe, prefer more sedate shoes than me. I can't really comment on the durability so much, as I am very hard on shoes...all of them seem less durable than what id like for 120$ but again...the pain free comfort of these shoes will keep me coming back.

Pronation and fallen arches
Posted June 3, 2013
I have had trouble with fallen arches and pronation all my life, but after discovering Saucony, I have had blessed relief. There is plenty of room for my orthotics that I have to wear. These shoes are the best! I use them for walking and every day and everywhere wear.

I had gone away from Saucony with motion control for awhile. I was trying other brands and Saucony without motion control .I could not get the stability or comfort that I needed. I had constant pain in my feet with the left worse than the right. I even hated walking the dog. Now I am pain free. I walk the dog then I go for another walk on my own.
Ordering another pair right now.

The Saucony Stabil CS2 is like magic! My feet needs lots of support with my low arches and these shoes are the best. And so comfortable also! Before Saucony, I had 4 pains: arch, heel, achilles tendon, and the outside side of my knees. Saucony made ALL FOUR pains disappear! It is because of Saucony that I can continue running with no pain.

Love these shoes--this is my 6th pair. At age 65, I walk an average of 8 miles/day year round and this product has solved my pronation problem thereby eliminating sore knees.

I use orthotics and they are easily 1/2 size too small for these shoes. They fit my other saucony shoes fine. They are not as flexible but that is probably necessary for stability. They are also fairly heavy.

This is an excellent shoe for moderate low arches and overpronation. Runs true to size. I use mine for indoor high-impact aerobics and weight training so they held up quite well but I don't know how they fair outside. Shipping was excellent, also. Great purchase!

I've purchased & re-purchased this model for years now. I love t! I've ran full & half marathons in them. I'm an overpronator & wear orthotics. That might be overdoing it, but I've never had trouble with doing so.
My only complaints are the lack of "cool" colour schemes year after year, and guaranteed, my big toe rips through the mesh every pair!

I am so glad to know, I am not the only one who has their big toe rip through the mesh of my right shoe only. I have owned three pairs.
Why is this?

My mom and I both bought the same shoes after having the model recommended to us through the fit test and BOTH of us experienced the same pinching experience on the upper part of our foot.
I recommend trying it on in store before purchasing online as there are not free returns and they do not do exchanges.

problems with the stitching

Although I have worn Saucony sneakers for many many years, I was very disappointed in this product. After only 2 miles on my first run in these sneakers, I had blisters on the inside aspect of my big toe. After the first complete run, I had a raw achilles. I thought I would give it a week to "break in" but the only thing that seemed broken was the skin on my feet! I noticed the stitching around the area of my blisters was sharp on the inside of the sneaker. I returned them. I am sad because the stabil sneaker is the one I have gotten for about 14 years. I don't know why this particular pair was so bad.

I feel like these shoes were made just for me. They support my feet through any workout and it has significantly reduced ankle and knee pain. The shoe itself is comfortable and allows my feet to breath during long workouts. I liked these shoes so much that I bought a pair for my mom. She loves them too :)

Most comfortable shoes ever

PostedJanuary 2, 2013
I Run: Not at all
I Use This Product For: Casual Wear, Walking
I recently had my knee 'scoped', so it is very tender, and walking has made me anxious every time out. My husband bought me these shoes in mid-December, and they have really helped reduce the discomfort of walking and have offered increased stability. In addition, they are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned, and I plan to continue buying the Saucony products after the knee has mended as well.

Great Shoe for Overpronation/Plantar Faciitis

PostedNovember 10, 2012
I Run: To stay in shape

I am in the military and have plantar fasciitis in my feet as I overpronate. I ordered these shoes through an online retailer and am amazed at how well they fit and how much support they offer while being very light. The first time I put them on and took a step, I could fell that my step was being redirected so as to not let my feet roll incorrectly. Great shoe!
