-$- Saucony Originals Men s Jazz Original Sneaker Blue Black 8 M



I decided to buy a pair of these when my old Starter sneakers started to wear out. I'm not one of those men with a fixation with owning lots of shoes (in other words, I'm straight). I typically own two or three pairs of sneakers at a time, wearing them until they are torn scraps of leather and fabric clinging to my feet with frayed laces. These were recommended to me by my sister, a treadmill addict that lost over a hundred pounds in the last year (and is currently considering writing a diet book called the "Put the fork down and move your ass diet"). Ever since she started this exercise regiment, she has ran at least an hour a day, usually two, on her treadmill. She only ever used one pair of shoes throughout this process, a pair of Saucony, Jazz sneakers. She wouldn't shut up about how comfortable these shoes are. They were clearly durable since they lasted her a year, thousands of miles, and over a hundred pounds, and I thought they looked cool (even though hers were in a horrid and loud, bright turquoise color scheme). I went for the Black/Charcoal/Red color scheme myself, and I am very pleased with the way they look. Having tried them I can say that they are indeed highly comfortable, and I'm told they become more comfortable over time as the padding molds to fit your feet. As an added bonus for the lazy, such as myself, they have that perfect level of tightness so as not to fall off or slide around on your foot, but are loose enough that when tied properly, one can slide in and out them without undoing or tying the laces. I am extremely satisfied with these shoes. They are fashionable and comfortable, and--as my sister's story illustrates--highly durable. For thirty five bucks on Amazon these were cheaper than any pair of Nikes, better looking (most modern sneakers are so busy with patterns, this design is a happy medium between style and simplicity), more comfortable, and more durable. And, as Saucony manufactures in America, they were made by Mexican wage slave labor rather than Vietnamese child slave labor: I feel more patriotic already. So if you're a lazy, cheap, non-metrosexual male (or female without a shoe obsession, whom I am told exist) like myself that wants a quality, comfortable, stylish sneaker that he(/she) can run into the ground, look no further than Saucony Jazz.
