text: This pair of shoes turned out to be a disappointment.  I've had Saucony shoes before but these do not stack up to previous purchases.  In particular, the arch support is poor and the soles are small especially in the heel.  Both a pair of Asics and a pair of New Balance shoes I own have soles that are 1/2 inch wider in the heel and more support overall.  Just not up to Saucony standards in my opinion.
