Ride Millennium Sneaker (Women)

My first pair of Saucony sneaks ever, and I’m very impressed. Right out of the box, they’re extremely comfortable and great looking, too. Based on other reviews, I sized up a half to a men’s 10, and the length and width are perfect. I have a slightly wide forefoot and a narrow heel, and these shoes, with their round toe, fit like they were patterned for me. Unlike many athletic shoes, they have minimal heel-to-toe drop, and I prefer that – much kinder to my aging knees. Also, the toe box is slightly deeper than some other brands. I have a mild hammer toe condition, so that bit of extra room helps. They’re very well cushioned and have surprisingly good arch support. Thankfully, the insoles are removable, so if they wear out, they can easily be replaced. I like that the outsoles are undercut on both sides at the arch, and that they have minimal outward flare. That makes them much better looking, in my opinion. The colorway is simply classic – brilliant white mesh, pale dove grey & silver trim, and black & grey soles that have plenty of traction. As for quality, they appear to be very well constructed. All of the plastic graphics and trim are fully edge stitched, versus the hot-seal tape used on so many other shoes, and all the stitching is tight and uniform. The uppers are mostly double layer mesh, so I wouldn’t consider them to be cold/wet weather shoes. Fortunately, I live in SE Texas, which means I can wear them year round. Presuming they hold up reasonably well, I wouldn’t hesitate to buy a second pair!
