A few reviewers said the upper leather stretches out and loses its shape as well as its sole stability and becomes uncomfortable to wear. Although, the Saucony has proven to be long-lasting.

The Saucony features XT-900 Premium carbon rubber outsole that acts like car tires on surfaces without leaving any trace. This is particularly convenient for supinators and overpronators that need medical orthotics. The insole is removable, and the shoe is spacious and deep enough to accommodate custom inserts. Some had to use orthotics to add support. But this wasn’t the case with all customers. Surprisingly, overpronators felt comfortable in the shoes – even without adding any inserts. The Saucony insole has moderate arch support and is mainly designed for people with neutral arches, but those with high arches love them too. This is one of the reasons why so many supinators feel so good in these shoes. These are neutral shoes and have no motion control features that reinforce the arch in the midfoot. Some users said they lack arch support and had to use inserts to add more support. The midsole is thick, which padd your feet and protects them from the impacts.
