3.0 out of 5 stars
A review from a Runner, January 22, 2008
This review is from: Saucony Originals Women's Jazz Low Pro Sneaker (Apparel)
Sorry but I do not agree wholly with the previous reviews. While these shoes are not terrible they are not the best either. They are not very thick which does not provide good support for running outdoors on hard surfaces. They did not absorb shock well either. I developed shin splints while using these shoes. Once I switched to Nike Air Pegasus my shin splints went away. I use these shoes now for jogging indoors. While these shoes are not the best for running they are good for light jogs or the treadmill. Sorry but I would not reccomend these to long distance runners or those who prefer to run outdoors on asphalt.

my go-to sneaker, January 27, 2011
hands down, the best sneaker out there for low-impact activity. super-lightweight, durable and comfortable. i have them in nearly every color and wear them every day to the gym for circuit training and spin class and also post-gym to run my errands and whatnot. highly recommend.

Don't run, but definitely walk!, September 6, 2009
This review is from: Saucony Originals Women's Jazz Low Pro Sneaker (Apparel)
I don't think the Saucony Jazz are quite squishy enough to be running shoes, but I'm giving them five stars as walkers. I don't have a car, so I do a LOT of walking around town, and all over campus, and these work out great for that.
My feet are a little bit wider than average, and the Sauconys give me plenty of room. There's even enough space for me to add a bit of an arch support - my instep is really high, so I do that with most of my shoes, and with the Saucony Jazz (both the Low Pro and the Original), the addition of the support doesn't mess up the fit of the shoe, the way it does with some others. This makes me very happy!
They're comfy right out of the box, they wear well, they come in lots of nifty colors, and they're good to go whether I'm on the sidewalk, the beach, or an easier hiking trail - I wouldn't substitute them for serious hikers of course, but they've got wicked good tread. I've got two pair of the Low Pro, and three pair of the Original (slightly thicker sole), and so far I've never been disappointed.
