Saucony Echelon 10 Running Shoe - Women's

Bought the extra wide bc the wide was way too narrow for orthotics. Please make black / black in extra wide and font be like new balance when they stopped the 840 which was the orthotic friendly shoe. Please keep this around and don’t change it

These are the most comfortable shoes for my feet. Not a runner - I’ve tried them all, Hoka, Brooks, On, etc. The toebox is spacious and the regular width fits perfectly with my Sole inserts. Morton’s neuroma and sesamoiditis have finally simmered down. Only complaint: the colors are pretty bad. I have the mauve-maroon, like them, and want a second pair. Not much choice. Highly recommend though.

I love these for my everyday wearers. I've been getting these through a few iterations, and they've held up and not changed too much, which is good.

I am a long time Saucony customer. Finding the Echelon has been a gift for my ability to run comfortably while also being able to fit my custom orthodics in my shoes. The Echelon 10 is a unfortunate disappointment compared with the Echelon 9. It's upper body fabric is cheap, the heel fabric is no longer a smooth cushion but a harsh rough fabric. They also removed the heal loop which was helpful to have when trying to get your feet in shoes with orthodics. Ultimately the shoe still fits my orthodics better than most shoes so I am stuck with this product until they make improvements. My personal opinion is that the design process focused more on how the shoe looks then how it functions. People who are trying to fit orthodics in shoes care more about the fit then the look. I hope the Echelon 11 will be better but until then I am stuck with a less comfortable shoe.

I’ve been wearing this style since 2014 after unfortunately having foot surgery that was a disaster. They are the most comfortable shoe I’ve found that allows my orthotics. Due to the poor color choices available in the Echelon style, I tried the Hurricane 24 but they were very uncomfortable for me. My only request is PLEASE use some more awesome color combinations as you do in other styles. The color choices are just awful for my taste. It would be nice to see some bright color combos, just saying!

I have fallen arches. The Echelon along with my orthotics have made a world of difference in my foot pain!!

A dr recommended I wear these as I was recovering from a broken metatarsal but after wearing them a short time in my house my heels weee killing me from the “heel drop”. I don’t understand how people walk around with elevated heels in their sneakers and find it comfortable .

This is my fifth pair of Echelons, and they’ve consistently been comfortable. That said, this version feels a bit tighter than my previous pair. I’d recommend allowing for a longer break-in period before using them for extended walks, runs, or hikes. I learned that the hard way—after about a month of only short walks, I participated in a 5K and ended up with pain across the top of my foot. For me, that wasn’t nearly enough time to break them in properly.
