Not that durable, not that comfortable
Originally posted on Saucony

Bought this shoe in the Surf Colourway. Versatile shoe, but I'm not impressed with the build quality. I've been wearing them 2-3 times a week for 6 months, and already there's significant wear and tear on the front and back of the soles. Not as durable compared to other major brands. Also this shoe isn't that comfortable, compared to other classic running shoes. My feet hurt more compared to other models.

Odd look and fit
Originally posted on Saucony

The Shadow 5000 looks great in photos but on the foot, the look is bulky at the mid section of the shoe. This makes the shoe look smaller than it actually is. This is compounded by an extremely small and narrow toe box. I have a normal width foot and these shoes were not wide enough for me.

Great walking show

I bought this shoe to replace another pair that was wearing out. I needed a good walking/ exercise class shoe. This shoe is a little stiffer than the all mesh versions and required a little breaking in, which is the reason I rated it a 4. Otherwise, it’s a comfortable, supportive shoe for those of us who don’t need a fancy running shoe. Saucony is my go to athletic shoe.

Style and comfort! How could you go wrong!
Not comfortable.

I returned these shoes. The souls were hard, not comfortable. The lining & construction seemed cheap, not the usual quality of Saucony shoes.

Front Sole Peels
Originally posted on Saucony

Super comfortable shoes and great for everyday wear. Unfortunately, after about a month, the front of the sole started peeling back. Looks like the glue or adhesive isn’t strong enough. Had to use superglue to fix. Love the fit and feel, but disappointed with how quickly they started to come apart.

I’m loving these new shoes! At first I didn’t understand unisex sizing so I ordered a size 8.5 in women’s ( I thought), but they were way too big. Then I found out that women’s sizes are 1.5 sizes larger than men’s. So with unisex sizing, you order the men’s size. For example, I wear a women’s 8.5 so I needed to order a men’s size 7. I returned the bigger size and received my men’s size 7 today. They’re very stylish looking (I got the black), a bit retro 80’s looking which is what I wanted. At first I thought these were only errand shoes & not for exercise/activity other than walking, but once I switched out the insoles for better arch support insoles, they were even better. I can definitely wear these to dance aerobics class. Word of advice: if you need arch support like I do, switch out the insoles as the factory ones have no arch support. That would be my only complaint if I had any. I would recommend these shoes, just get your sizing right.
