Why is my shoe Endangered?
The shoe manufacturer has discontinued your shoe, so there is a limited supply left. Stock up now at this great low price before they're gone forever.

You knew it as the lightest, best-fitting, high mileage trainer in the 1200 series. Now its much more. Full-length shock absorption, gentler heel cushioning and seamless liner make this the best yet. 10.2 ounces

Great shoe if you need a wide toe box and snug heel. No slippage. Also wears well; I am a heavy heel striker and usually break down shoes fast, but not with this shoe.

Finally! 9 miles - no shinsplints! Love the way my heel is cradled, no slippage. Toe box is plenty wide. I was a closet over pronator, I guess, and this show fixed me right up.

In my age, I have developed wider feet, and as a result have had difficulty finding running shoes that don't give me blisters. The last pair I had, (Nike), created a bunionette. These shoes are the most comfortable, fitting shoes I have ever worn, and I've been running for 29 years!!! Recommend the...

I have a lot of orthepidic problems and this shoe works great. Normally I get blisters but haven't had any with this shoe.

Love the shoe. I was so bummed that Sacouny changed the hurricane 8 with the 9. The 9 was way too wide. This shoe fits my heal great. I have had no issues with blisters. Love it.

Yuck! These shoes are the worst. Blisters no matter what you do. After wearing them for only several runs (one 20 miler), I'm going back to Saucony--I never should have left!

I ran in the 1221 with no problems. The 1222 was horrible. It was wonderful to hear about the 1223 coming out, but that's about as wonderful as it gets. Blister was a word I just heard about, never experienced. Well, the 1223's changed that. The blisters I got made up for nevering having them. This...

Great shoe. I love how it hugs the heels but the toebox is so wonderfully wide! Amazingly comfortable.

Great shoes. feels wonderful. I love the wide width

these shoes felt like slippers UNTIL the end of mile one.....I ended up with 4 big blisters and had to cut my run short. I put in ALOT of miles and use good socks and even had the glide stick with me that I applied twice. I've got to blame the shoe.

What an amazing update from the 1222. I loved the smooth transition from heel to forefoot, the cushiness and the flexibility and I'm a small runner! And this is the first shoe that I've every tried on (millions) that employs a design accounting for your calcaneus being on the lateral part of your f...
