I purchased a pair of these to use for cross training (plyometrics, strength training) and will be returning them promptly. I wore these around the house for an hour, and they are not comfortable with an average to slightly wide foot (mine measures at just under a C width, so hovers between wide and normal).
These shoes seemed to want to make the ball of my foot roll outward and off the edge of the shoe. The heel fit great, but my arch is now aching because of the torsion on the forefoot. This felt like a design flaw rather than some weird anatomy in my foot (I've never felt like this in a pair of athletic shoes.)
I've run in Saucony's before and been very pleased. This pair does not seem to be up to the usual standard. Save your money and invest in a quality pair. When a shoe is listed as being for a budget conscious runner, this is the company giving themselves a license to skimp on quality in the pursuit of being cheap.

excellent shoe very comfortable there was very little to breaking them in and love the color of green

BEST RUNNING SHOES THERE ARE
I ran long distance in high school and went through several different brands of running shoes but never quite found the right ones. For a time, I wore Brookes' but after 2 seasons or so it seemed they changed the design and I no longer liked them.
After that, I tried a pair of Sauconys and absolutely LOVED them! I have a chronic pain condition so not only do my muscles ache a lot, my joints get very stiff and sore. Sauconys provide great cushion and support without being stiff. Yes, until they are broken in I have noticed my feet go a bit numb sometimes but then I just loosen them up a bit.
After my first pair, I couldn't find a pair in the city I was living in but was in Desperate need so I settled for a pair of Asics because I have heard lots of good things about them.....
NEVER AGAIN!
They were Awful! Not supportive at all and not even that comfortable. I wore them for a full year for the sake of being frugal but I hated them the whole time! I just recently bought my new pair of Saucony Ignitions and am so happy! I agree they fit slightly differently than my old pair and I'm sure it has to do with design but I definitely love them and highly recommend them! I have to say though, I only wear them for running. They are not cross trainers and are not designed for the lateral motion or various different workouts
All in all, they rock!

This is the 2nd pair of Saucony shoes I have purchased. They are every bit as comfortable as the first pair. I am a nurse and I am on my feet for the biggest part of the day, so my number one priority is comfort. This style does run small...normally I wear a 7, but I had to exchange them for a 7.5 and would have needed an 8 if I were using these for running. Fast delivery and great correspondence. Very happy with purchase.

Even though I don't do much running anymore, this is an excellent all around shoe.They have a nice roomy toe box for my generous feet. The mesh upper is great for breathability (is that a word?). Good cushion, very comfortable....they are a good value for the price. I highly recommend them.

I really like this shoe. I have a wide foot, high arch and need a comfortable neutral shoe. For an inexpensive running shoe, it has really given me alot of good wear for the money. I've done three marathons wearing them in the past year and have really appreciated the cushioning and comfort it provided - stable but not too rigid. I recently bought the more expensive Saucony Pro Grid Ride 2 and am not as happy with them. I just got another pair of these Grid Ignitions yesterday and am looking forward to getting alot of mileage out of them.

These shoes have a lot of cushion and are very comfortable initially, but after a mile into my run, my feet went numb. I was very disappointed.
