text: I have high arches and somewhat wide feet and for many years Saucony neutral shoes were my go-to running shoes. When the first versions of Saucony Ride came out I found the soles far too soft so that my landings felt unstable.  But when at last the Ride 6 was made available, I knew I'd found my way back to Saucony.  Though I have always worn a size 6.5 street shoe and a 7 med. running shoe, I had to buy a 7.5 medium in the Ride 6 in the citron color.  Because they were so comfortable ( they do not have a lot of arch support, so I replaced the factory insoles with arch insoles), I ordered another pair in silver-gray/green in a 7.5 medium but, upon running in them, I found they were half size too long and altered my stride. Since it was too late to send them back, I've kept them for dog walking but it seems wrong and is rather frustrating to discover that an athletic shoe company like Saucony would manufacture shoes that vary in size depending on which color one buys.  To my mind, this is the source of customers' various reviews with regard to fit; there is a lack of consistency when it comes to sizing.
