Saucony Originals Men's Jazz Low Pro Classic Retro Sneaker

In retrospect, I didn't really live the color but they were great shoes and I still use them. I wouldn't recommend them for legit running if your gait is poor and you have bad knees or hips. The padding is just to thin on the bottom. But overall they were excellent for work and normal activities

I tried a pair of Jazz Low Pro's because of the thin soles. I've always found thick-soled shoes a little clumsy. These Sauconys feel as stable as walking barefoot, but they let me walk on coarse gravel without pain. They're light, too.I've had them nearly a year. The fabric lining of the heel counters wore out long ago, but otherwise, they are holding up fine. The lugs are shallow enough and the spaces big enough that they tend not to track dirt indoors.Tires have wet traction ratings on the sidewalls, but when I buy a pair of shoes, I don't know if they will provide reliable traction on smooth, wet surfaces. These soles have earned my trust.The friction between the strings and the six rows of leather eyelets is inconvenient when it comes to loosening the strings to put the shoes on and then tightening the strings to tie.Taking a few steps on wet grass will necessitate changing shoes and socks because the fabric on top doesn't resist water at all. However, the shoes dry quickly.I've never before been tempted to put shoes in a washing machine, but the fabric on these shoes won't wipe clean. Washing doesn't seem to damage them at all, and they dry quickly. Removing and replacing the strings is the biggest inconvenience.I like to have at least two pair of general-purpose shoes. I liked these shoes enough that I bought a second pair eight months later, to replace my alternate shoes. When they arrived, I found them easier to put on and take off, and they felt more luxuriously padded. The tags on the tongues say they are the same model and size, and they look the same. It's as if Saucony switched to a better material for interior padding, and a fiber with less friction for the strings.The treads look the same, but when I hold an old sole against a new one, I see that the lugs have been moved slightly. It looks as if Saucony has found ways to improve this shoe since it went on the market. I like that.Update: For some time, I've wondered why the joints in my index fingers sometimes feel sore. I finally figured it out. I use my index fingers as shoe horns to put these Sauconys on. The process tends to bend the joints backward.I've never needed a shoehorn before. The tops of the heel counters on these shoes come in over the tops of my heels. I like that because it helps keep my heels from lifting off the soles as I step. I should have figured out 15 months ago that a shoe horn or a ruler would work better than my fingers.

Purchase price: $27ishColor: tan/silverIncludes: tan and white shoelacesI recently purchased the Treton Rawlins as a retro type of shoe. The color scheme of those shoes prevented me wearing them with greater frequency. As a result, I started looking for a second pair of retro(esque) shoes. I looked at a variety of brands, styles and colors. I finally landed on the Sauncony Jazz Low Pro. Like with the Tretorn Rawlins, the pricing between colors varied greatly (a $15 to $35 swing in cost).I was able to find a neutral color at the lowest price ($27ish with taxes) on Amazon. I purchased the tan/silver in a size 11 (my true size) from Amazon. I received the shoes, but they ran small. I returned the shoes and ordered up ½ a size in the same color.Here’s a breakdown of the facts and some feedback:1. I purchased the shoes from Amazon2. I paid $27ish with taxes for the shoes, other color schemes were $10-$20 more3. I purchased the tan/silver color scheme4. I wear an 11. I ordered an 11, but sent them back and upsized ½ a size (to 11 ½)5. The shoes run narrow across the toes. I think this contributed to the need to upsize.6. The shoes are comfortable and light. Beyond the tight toes the shoes are comfy to wear. They are made of leather, suede and nylon. The rubber sole is slightly aggressive and provides a comfortable ride.7. The shoes are fashionable and the color scheme I selected can be dressed up slightly (worn with khakis).All in all a decent retro style shoe.

I’ve always admired Jazz shoes in the past so had to get me a pair. They were definitely comfortable, lightweight, and fun for light walking and casual use. Unfortunately, they just didn’t hold up well and, even though I tried to take it easy on them, the stitching near the front toe started pulling away pretty quickly… no way to really fix it unless you’re prepared to painstakingly muscle a needle through the leather, over and over.I probably wouldn’t purchase again because there are other, better-made, yet affordable casual sneakers out there (Hush Puppies 78’s for example). If you’re small or exceptionally light on your feet, you may have better luck with the Jazz.

I really wanted to like these sneakers but unfortunately ended up sending them back.I was looking for a pair of Orange Sneakers when I came upon these Saucony's on Amazon.First off I have several pairs of Saucony running shoes so I was pretty familiar with the brand however these were the first pair of Saucony shoes that I just didn't like.The color on my computer monitor looks really Orange however the color in person is more darker and looks like RUST, not Orange.These Jazz sneakers fit slightly smaller than my other Saucony running shoes. My biggest issue with this shoe is the quality of materials. Perhaps I should have lowered my expectations when the Title said "Fashion Sneaker" however I still anticipated a shoe comparable to my other Sauconys and one made to last.These shoes are soft and lightweight. The uppers have some suede leather on the heal however most of the shoe is constructed of very light, thin nylon. The nylon feels incredibly thin and frankly looks and feels cheap. The soles have a nice cushion and are a gummy, beige rubber color.As a walking shoe or as the tile says "Fashion Sneaker" these Saucony Jazz Lowpro;s are OK but at a price between $90-$139, I was expected much better materials and a shoe that would last a few years like my other Saucony's. Personal this shoe looks and feels like something you'd pick up at Walmart or Payless for $29.99.Personally to me these shoes look and feel cheap. While they are comfortable to wear, I don't feel they will last and for that reason I don't see value at a $90+ price. If these shoes were $30-$40 I'd recommend them ... at $90 I'd pass and recommend you look for alternatives.

Shoes are comfortable and I knew to order a larger size than what I wear in other shoes. I know someone in another review of the shoe said, ''you get what you pay for" which is fair. But, that said, I am disappointed in the heel wear after 5 to 6 months doing around 10,000 steps a day of city walking - nothing too taxing. The overall 'health' of the shoe is fine save the crater in the heel. In a time when we should be trying to make things last, I am going to be scrapping these shoes because of the premature wear. To me it damages the Saucony brand name selling things that are going to break down so quickly. SOMEHOW-make the compound just a little tougher. The idea of sending these to the scrap pile too soon really irks. Saucony, could you please try to make this shoe a little tougher; I get it, they are not overly expensive but please try.

Étant un habitué des Saucony, je nlai eu aucun doute à le prendre un peu serré(8,5) alors que je chausse normalement du 9. Ils ont tous tendance à s’élargir et devenir bien confortables après les avoir portés pour quelques temps. Qui plus est, le prix est une aubaine. Je le recommande fortement.

I have been using the same model of Saucony (Low Jazz Pro) for the last 8 years. Usually, each pair of sneakers was good for one and a half-season. This year, unfortunately, they lasted less than 4 months. I have a feeling they changed the material. Bad quality compared to previous years. :-(

Exactly as described and arrived right on time. Love them!
