As a teacher and special needs Mom these sneakers are my new go-to! The most comfortable sneakers I have ever worn. I never leave reviews, but I always read them before purchasing so I felt compelled to leave this. I’m 49, with flat feet and a wide toe box. I will buy them in different colors. Thank you!

I have been an avid wearer of the Jazz, Jazz 81, and Jazz Low Pro for over a decade. I've noticed that it's been difficult to get some styles, especially at a price point that remains historically competitive, so I decided to try the Shadow 5000. Unfortunately, they've been disappointing. One issue is the lack of a way for the laces to lace through the tongue, which causes the tongue to slip into the shoe when I put them on. More of a nuisance than a real issue, but I would have liked any shoe I get these days to feature that to help make sure the tongue stays in place. Second issue is that the tread on the rear half of the shoe isn't as aggressive as the Jazz, which means that they're a bit more slippery on wet bike pedals and terrain (especially wet) like rocks. ... MoreI have been an avid wearer of the Jazz, Jazz 81, and Jazz Low Pro for over a decade.

The worst part, though, is the reduced arch support compared to the Jazz line. A 6-mile walk a couple days ago made this abundantly clear as my ankle got increasingly sore. The soreness has persisted for a couple days now, and is worst whenever I put on these shoes and go walking again. Ordered a new pair of Jazz and can't wait to be back in the classics.

Easily one of the best shoes purchase I’ve ever made— The style and color of these are absolutely classic! You could never go wrong with a retro running shoe! Consider going half a size up, especially if you have a wider foot or wear thicker socksI generally wear a nine, so these fit perfect at a 9 1/2, the plush collar on the inside helps with that as well

These are very poor quality. Bought one pair. The stitching on the toe immediately came apart. At the same time a friend of mine bought the same shoe. The stitching came apart in the same spot before he even took them out of the box. I got a refund and decided to try them again because I really like the color. I've worn them 3 times and the stitching is coming apart in the same place as before. They need to take these shoes off the market
The shoe looks great. Fairly comfortable. For me, it definitely fits small. I’ve never ordered a 9.5 that was too small, these are. Also, I don’t appreciate the perpetual scarcity of Saucony originals. Not cool when retailers do that (if within their control). So, Saucony let me give you a hint - have more of your Shadow 5000 in black n white available. They’re popular no? I’d like to get some that fit one day.
Bought Shadow Mushroom 5000 for its aesthetic and curious about material. I have found that more so than suede or leather, the mushroom-based vegan fabric gets easily stained by dirt, and attempting to clean it with water and detergent ends up wearing down the material. There is already a hole forming in one spot of the mushroom fabric. In other respects also not very durable or well-constructed (stitching coming loose, sole separating from fabric). These are not going to last as long as I would expect. Love the concept, but not the result.
My only gripe with Saucony is their shipping method. This is the third shoe that I've purchased directly from their website and all three times they have shipped with the original box inside a plastic shipping bag. No kind of insulation or packing material inside this shipping bag so the box tends to get damaged in transit. All shoes should be shipped double-boxed to ensure the original box itself doesn't get damaged while in shipment. Especially for people like myself who store their shoes in the original box.
Pros: I love the look of these shoes. I love the color scheme (I purchased the grey and beige colored shoe). The suede is adorable and nice looking BUT the “leather” part at my heel looks really cheap. However, they have absolutely NO cushioning. I would not wear these to run in or at an amusement park. I can hardly wear them out and about for just a few hours because they make the bottoms of my feet burn.. I purchased an insert to try and stop this but that just made the shoe feel too short and like it was going to slip off of my heel. I will try to tie them tighter and it’s like the laces don’t hold.
Good for work. I have bought 2 pairs of shadow 5000 . Heel support is nice. Only issue I have with these shoes is the color fades asap . The sides start to tear up from same spots on both shoes. Color starts to discolor on base of shoe. The inner shoe sole starts to hole up . Other than that. Good comfy shoe if you work in a spot where you stand up and walk alot.
I like the way the shoes look. However, the fit seems a bit small. I wore them several times in hopes of breaking them in a bit, although I should have known sneakers generally shouldn't need breaking in. So unfortunately for me, it's too late to return the shoes; will plan on donating them. Anyway, this is not so much "buyer beware;" more like, "buyer, be aware."
