Saucony Women's Cohestion 18 Running Sneaker

I'm genuinely so sad. Not only because I have to lug this around to return it at the nearest DSW store, but also because I really love Saucony. I was so excited to receive them just to go through this. Saucony is genuinely the best shoe company I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with. Only for these shoes to be like two sizes smaller than my actual size despite me buying a size bigger than what I usually wear. They obviously don't fit and they also have shorter tongues. The tongues aren't that short, but they're pretty short. They also have quite a bit of height to them for anyone that might have issues with that.

I usually love Saucony and this is my 4th or 5th pair, but something has changed because this is one of the worst pairs of shoes I have ever owned! My feet hurt so bad! They are so comfortable when I first put them on, but two miles into my morning walk and it feels like there is no padding on the balls of my feet and the peroneal tendonitis that I spent tons of time and money healing a few years ago is back with a vengeance. I can't imagine how much worse it would be if I was running. I can barely walk in the morning when I first get up before I get things loosened up again. Still undecided if I'm going to try another pair or switch brands. So disappointed because I thought I had found my go-to brand of walking shoes.

I have several pairs of Saucony and have been buying this brand for years. This particular pair is the least comfortable I have bought. I bought them in my usual size and they were too short, so, I exchanged for a 1/2 size larger. The service was prompt to send me a new pair, however, these are not very comfortable. I tried to return them and because I had exchanged them for a different size, I was ineligible to return them. I'm stuck with them. All my other Saucony are very comfortable and I love them. Just not this particular make.

Tough to rank, as the shoe was too big; and, unfortunately, they came without any paperwork or receipt and I never received a copy of my order. Accordingly, I could not return them and ended up giving them away. They may have been a nice charitable donation, but it didn't help fill my wife's needs. Not sure where the paperwork and paper trail went bad, but this was an expensive mistake.

I ordered these because I had several of the older models, with the Cohesion 13s being the last. These 18s are a completely different style, material, fit and feel. Caused 2 blisters on my heels during my first run and my 3rd toe was going numb about a mile into the run. Very disappointed in this latest model.

I bought these a few weeks ago. I have never had this brand before but was willing to try them out. I have worn them to workout in a few times now. Excellent! Also, I do like that the soles are easily removable so that I can use my orthotics if needed.

This updated version of the cohesion is fine, but note that the heel drop is down to 8mm from 12mm in previous versions. I hope I can get used to it. Otherwise this has been a good everyday shoe for me.

I bought these shoes recently, and am so glad I did! They are the most comfortable shoes, and are well made, too! The design and features provide support and style. I will but this brand from now on!
