      Comments about Womens Saucony Grid Fastwitch 5 Running Shoe:

      I've been walking trying to build up to running (it's been years) but I have the worst shin splints. I had some success with nike zoom making my shin hurt less, but the pain was still there. When I saw that this minimal shoe had stability support I had to try them on. I still can't get over how light they are. I have high arches so I do use my insole rather than the one the shoe came with. I also got a half size larger than I normally get. The size nines felt fine, but I was paranoid about having the toe box too snug as I like wiggle room for my toes. When I took my 9.5s home I compared them to my nikes they were the same size. So far I've had these shoes about a month and I'm up to running a mile without feeling like my shins are going to blow out! I'm so happy I randomly tried this shoe on.

        Comments about Womens Saucony Grid Fastwitch 5 Running Shoe:

        I used to run in Saucony's and loved them, but switched to Asics Gel Kayano's a few years ago. While they were great shoes, they felt a bit heavy, so I recently came back to Saucony. I was a bit worried to go to a more minimal shoe (I run 20+ miles/week and did not want to "slowly build up" in the new shoe) but the transition has been easy. Overall, I like this shoe and have had no problem maintaining the same mileage. I also like that they cost about 60% of what the Kayano costs :-)

        Comments about Womens Saucony Grid Fastwitch 5 Running Shoe:

        I have been looking for something to replace my Saucony Tangents for speedwork and racing. I wear and 6-6.5 in street shoes. I always size up to a 7 in running shoes. These were extremely short and narrow. My toes were bumping the end of the shoe the second I put them on. They are extremely light- probably would not be a good marathon shoe for me which is really what I was hoping for.

        Comments about Womens Saucony Grid Fastwitch 5 Running Shoe:

        So disappointed in the 5's. I know their "minimalistic", but there is no comfort in these shoes. I've run in the 3's, the 4's and in Newtons and I really don't like these. They're way more narrow overall and my feet actually hurt after my first five, let alone 10. I'm really upset with these as I have had 6 pairs of past Fasttwitches and can't find them anymore. Please bring the old ones back!!

        Comments about Womens Saucony Grid Fastwitch 5 Running Shoe:

        Loved the 4's. Heard a lot of talk about the 5's (not as comfy, more narrow toe box, etc.), but I bought 2 pairs of these anyway! I LOVED the crazy, bright teal ones. They were fine for me, just not as comfy or as durable as the 4's. I ran 3 marathons with the 5's and they were great-no blisters, foot pain, etc. A word to the wise-stay on paved roads with these, you can really feel rocks, twigs, etc. if you step on them.
