Great initial fit, comfort, and styling! Impressed!
Great initial impression! I don’t usually write reviews when the product is new. But these shoes impress a lot out of the box. The comfort, fit, and styling are first class at this price point. I am a 25-year Saucony running shoe fan and this is my first pair of “trail running” shoes. I live in the Smoky Mountains and enjoy jogs / hikes in the woods and mountains a lot so I thought I would try this style of running shoe. I’ve only been wearing these a few days, so no comments on long term durability. But the comfort and fit out if the box is excellent and noteworthy. Another little touch I love is the laces. They are of a material blend that makes them stay tied well. In fact, when you go to untie them they do not slip through the laces easily. These things stay tied indefinitely and I love that in a trail running shoe. I also like the aggressive lug pattern on the soles. Will update my review six months in… but so far a big fan!

My Third Pair!
I have tried the Excursion TR13's, TR14's, TR15's and TR17's. I returned the TR14's and TR17's. The TR14's I felt weren't of the best quality for being Sauconys. The TR17's I returned due to them running a bit small. The TR13's I kept, but they needed a bit of breaking in (which was a bit of a surprise). The TR15's fit me perfect every time (size 8 1/2) and they seem to be the highest quality and most comfortable of all. This is my third pair of the Black Shadow (I actually have a pair in the closet "on reserve"). The color and design is stylish enough to pass for work shoes in the office. They also look great with jeans/casual attire and aren't too obvious an "athletic shoe". It may be personal preference, but what can I say? PS: I should add that I also have a pair of the TR15 Alloy/Scarlet. These are comfy and look great too.

Super lightweight shoe, very comfortable, good traction. Interesting wear
Last Update 03/25:These shoes have lasted a long time, yes the heal in one shoe failed early and the heal in the other failed sometime later, but the souls, the show itself are still solid. Seriously it's what 3/2025 so 2+ years of hard disc golf, hiking use and really only the interior heal failed, not bad actually. Annoying when it happened, but the fact that the rest of the shoe is in still great shape, that's something. I've replaced them with another pair!Update 11/23:The interior heal area of my left shoe has ripped. That is roughly 4 months of use, mainly playing disc golf as I’m a flip flop/barefoot guy the other 99% of the time. Company states they don’t have a warranty when bought through Amazon, and in reality they don’t have a set warranty, they take them on a case by case, that’s only if you buy direct, what???Original review 4 stars.I bought these as I needed another pair of non waterproof shoes for disc golf. These have great traction, they feel comfortable and are really light.Now, I did walk through 2 sticker bushes the other day and had a sticker in my front toe (from the top), so they probably are not ideal for off path hikes, but for on path hikes and disc golf, they seem great.My last pair of different shoes, gave me about a year before the soles at the toes wore down, so if I can get a year out of these, they will be an awesome warm weather shoe for sure.As always, i'll come back and update this if anything changes.

Phenomenal! Comfortable from the first moment I put them on, already felt broken in. Extremely ventilated to keep your feet cool, rugged bottoms for light hiking, and great design. Fair price and fast shipping, would actually buy again.Highly recommended

These are very good and last a long time.
The size is the right size. It fits perfectly.I have used Saucony since I was in 8th grade. That was 35 years ago.I have tried all other name brands and I keep coming back to saucony.This style lasts a long timeMy last pair lasted 2 years before they finally wore out. The grip is perfect for roads, grass, dirt/rock roads, and trails.The color is ok.The price was great because I dont buy shoes over 100.00 unless they are for my work as a first responder or on my farm.They are Light and perfect for running in.

Comfortable and true to fit
I have a wide fit and bought these to be my daily walking shoes. I walk at least 3 miles a day. After a month, they are holding up well. I wear a size 10 and they fit me well
