"I bought these for work because I am on my feet 8 hours a day. I love the Saucony brand and haven't bought any other brand of shoes for work in almost 2 years! They are very cushioned in the heel, which is important to me because I have a very hard heel strike. I work in a clinic that has cement floors underneath the commercial-grade carpet, and once I began wearing my new shoes all my aches and pains disappeared. They are true to size and the color is VERY bright!"
