Disapointed

I Use This Product For: Running, Racing
I was a huge fan of the shay XC and XC2, but the XC3s feel cheaply made. I understand modifications were made to make it lighter, but it is extremely uncomfortable now. In my opinion, it was not worth the 0.7oz weight savings. Another shoe falls victim to weight shaving.

I use these shows for track, and I LOVE them! They fit like a sock, so there's practically no need to "break them in." They're super light, grippy, and stylish. So far they seem like a very durable shoe, although I've only had them for a week, so don't take my word on that. I ordered a half size up and they fit PERFECTLY. They do fit snugly to your foot, so keep that in mind.

Out of all the cross-country shoes I have gotten over the years, these are by far the best! They are stylish, bright, comfortable, and ultra lightweight. Highly recommend purchasing these shoes!

On pavement
Posted September 8, 2012
They run quite well on pavement. Some of the courses I have raced at this year have had a lot of pavement, and the shoes felt just fine!

The Shay XC3's are by far the best cross country flat I've ever worn! They're neon orange and flashy, everyone sees me coming!
They feel pounds lighter than my Kilkenny XC4's and I just love this shoe.
They do run quite narrow, so if you like that small platformed racing flat. This is for you!

This update from the Shay 2 is like, moving from bows and arrows to the Nimitz Super Carriers. It's THAT substantial. The outsole is the same, which is great, because there really wasn't anything wrong with it in the first place. You can tell that the cushioning is doing it's thing; it has a very responsive feel. But the upper...Oooh yes, the upper is AMAZING. Completely seamless environment, OPTIMUM room for your toes; enough for them to splay, but not so much room that you're moving around inside the shoe. The Saucony engineers are going to be extremely hard pressed to make this shoe any better. Maybe lasers? Yeah, lasers would be nice..

BEST XC SHOE EVER!
Posted September 3, 2012
These shoes are by far the best xc shoes I've ever worn. It's lightweight, but offers so much support. The traction is amazing and the color scheme is perfect for my school colors. I'm buying Sauconys now!
