I am on my feet all day and then a walk three miles a night at the track. This shoe makes my feet feel like they are taking their first steps of the day. This shoe is made for people with high arches and need extra comfort.
I can't live without my Saucony..

My three-year-old pair, though a little worn, is still as comfortable as when I first got them. I got a new pair for physical therapy after total knee replacement surgery recently, and they felt like well broken-in shoes from the first time I put them on. They will be my walking shoes for a trip to Europe this summer. And I won't be embarrassed to wear them--they are good-looking as well as comfortable.

I just recently bought Saucony sneakers and I am hooked. I now own four pairs, my husband has two and I bought my son a a pair! I thought I would try this style for when I work (I needed black). I work long hours on my feet as a waitress and thought these would be great! I usually can wear my other Saucony for 12 hours and my legs and feet are fine. I did not like the way these sneakers felt!

I'm a field scientist who uses these as regular shoes for activities as varied as walking through fruit plantings and fields, often on rocky or uneven ground; hiking on unpaved trails for recreation; and walking in my suburban neighborhood, which includes a lot of paved areas. These shoes are immediately comfortable, durable, supportive (I have low arches and pronation), and come in black!

I have been wearing this shoe for 6 years. I replace them about every 6 months because I use a treadmill 6 days a week. When my lower back starts to ache I know its time to replace. These are the best fitting, wearing and supporting althetic shoes I have ever used.

Bought these for my 92 year old mother. She had been wearing the same Instep 2 for so many years that there was no more traction left on the sole. I haven't been able to locate anymore of the Insteps , so she has been wearing other brands. Thank God, I found these again, as her gait is much more stable wearing the Instep 3 shoes. She loves them, so I bought 2 !

I wear orthotics which are over 1/2 inch deep so need a shoe that can take this without pushing my foot out of the shoe. The orthotics correct a back problem so ease the ever present pain and are necessary if I am to be able to be active. The shoe is supportive and wears well. I wish it came in more colors to coordinate with clothes since I am constantly in this shoe.
The very best walking shoe you can buy!
