Customer Reviews

nice skate shoe5
These were for my son who skates non-stop. I am always looking for good quality shoes at fair prices and these were it. He says that they are very comfortable. The leather will need a bit of polish from time to time, only because with skating they get banged around faster. I just use Vaseline. As with any shoe used for skating, expect these to last about 2 months. (The grip tape surface on the top of skateboards wears the sole of the shoe down faster.) If wearing them for everyday, that obviously extends the wear time.

Overall very good shoe.
I got it in the Red colorway, and when I got them they felt a little oversized but, after about 2 to 3 hours of walking around in them they conoured to my foot and felt very comfortable.

I have been skating them for about 4 to 5 weeks now and they are just getting a little bit flat, around the big toe and the point just below the toe. The upper is normal suede, nothing special about it, the perforation does not affect the durability in the least, it just adds a bit more of ventilation.

They have great upper support in the heel, like around the ankle and heel, they feel almost like a mid top, and the gel heel in the SOLE helps a little bit, but not enough to make a difference. They are fine for skating gaps if you dont mind very minor heel bruises. In comparison to the half cab "syndicate" Black-leather ones I have, they have great protection. The sole is very flexible and does not snap bakc into place like some other shoes I have had. Another feature of the sole I liked was the fact that it was wide, Since I have wide feet this was a major plus. The outsole was okay about 6/10 for durability, After three weeks you could see the black sole through the white outsole.

The only Qualm I had with the shoe was the poor lace placement. It was almost directly above the stitched toe, The laces became badly frayed after the second session and snapped after the third. but only the lace in the first loop snapped so its not that big of a deal.

Highly reccomended if you have a little bit of extra cash, and need a good reliable pair of shoes.

All perfect5
Everything perfect, excellent delivery time and price is unbeatable I think the best buy I've made in AMAZON

Just Remember . . .4
The shoes are great. We did, however, have to trade them in for a 1/2 size smaller pair. Apparently, Reebok runs a little larger than some of the other brand names. No problem, I actually took them to a nearby Reebok outlet store and they were kind enough to trade them out for me.

Customer Reviews

Nice5
I have worn Sauconys exclusively for about 15 years after being fitted at a running store. The toe area is wider than most shoes, which I need. They do run about 1/2 size small so order up. I wear a 9 1/2 in everything but these and a 10 fits fine.

Great Trainer!5
I was a big fan of the old "trigon 5" rides, which you can still get. They were my first official running shoe, I got at a running specialty store. Great shoe, I had them for about a year and they wore well. I bounced around to a couple other brands and models, I thought I should try them out. I regret that now.

I bought these about a month ago, they are just like I remembered! I have normal feet and am a heavier runner 215 when I bought the shoes, 180 now. I think most people find that the heal is somewhat firm, which I liked. They have a nice big toe box with a good overall fit. Order them on the large side. I wear a 11.5 usually, sometimes a 12, I ordered a 12 and the fit was perfect. These shoes are extremely well ventilated, so your tootsies will get cold during winter time runs.

Addition: Keep an eye on the prices of these shoes, certain colors and sizes are super cheap. I bought a second pair of the blue and silver ones for $40. A really good deal, I couldn't find anywhere else.

Great shoes5
I'm an avid runner and have run with many different types and brands of shoes. These are by far some of the best in cushioning, fit, feel and support that I've had.

Customer Reviews

Comfortable and very light5
I've only worn them a few times now, but I love them. This was the first time I purchased shoes online so it was a little scary. The shoes are very comfortable and a lot lighter than most shoes I've owned. The only complaint, and it minor, is the shoelaces are a little too long and can make the shoes a little tight. No big deal. I would buy these shoes again in a heart beat.

Great Shoe4
These shoes are comfortable, stylish, and a great value. They fit my wide foot like a glove. That being said, I do have just a couple of areas to complain about. First, I'm not sure how durable these will be compared to other NB shoes I've owned; after just one wear, the lettering inside the shoe (insole) started wearing off. They have a really cool groove down the middle of the sole, and while this may have some ergonomic benefit (?), it does catch rocks every now and then. Finally, I was disappointed to see that this was one of NB's China-made shoes. One of the reasons I'm a loyal customer (other than the fact that they make a superior shoe) is that they make most of their shoes in the US; the only athletic shoe company to do so. Not so with this pair.

Amazingly comfortable!5
I ordered these shoes while Amazon had them on sale, and I am using them as walking shoes. These shoes are extremely comfortable, and the toe section is very well ventilated. I would highly recommend these shoes to any runners and walkers.

I wear them daily around my college campus for nearly eight hours every day. These are well ventilated, comfortable, and my feet have stopped hurting coming from wearing Adidas Superstars everyday.

And also, buying American made shoes helps our economy!

Not as soft out of box as triumph 54
These shoes take some break in time to get used to if you had the triumph 5 before these. They are a little stiffer than triumph 5 in the heal and forefoot. That may have been the aim of saucony, but I was not a fan. Some runners like this but I wish I knew this before I bought them.

Great running shoe5
Saucony has regained the magic of the old Triumph 4 with the Triumph 6. The Triumph 5 sucked. I tried the 5s, returned them and then bought a batch of the 4s that I hoarded like gold. Thank goodness Saucony brought the Triumph 6s out when they did....I was down to my last pair of the Triumph 4s.

Best Running Shoe Yet5
Best Running Shoe I've owned. I have two pair of the Blue and two pair of the Red. Can't wait to see what the Triumph 7's are like!! Good Job Saucony!!

Great casual men shoes5
We just received those shoes yesterday and I was really pleased with their look. I ordered the brown ones for my husband. On the website it seems the fabric and leather browns are very different but this is more subtle in reality, a perfect match. It is a great casual pair of shoes! Plus, the price is unbeatable, I saw them on Zappos for $100...

These shoes are much better than I expected.5
I'm not usually too into the casual sneaker type shoe because they often look cheap and kind of unfashionable in my opinion, but the price on these was great, so I took a chance and purchased them in white.

When they arrived I was blown away at how well made and stylish they are. Super comfortable and the perfect hybrid between a sneaker and a casual shoe. The combination of leather and canvas uppers and the thick industrial black rubber sole made these look uber-modern. I call them my "shoes of tomorrow".

I can't vouch for the brown or black ones because honestly, they didn't look too appealing to me in the pics, but the white ones are just plain cool. They look awesome with jeans. Overall, a great summer shoe.
