Saucony Women's Navy/Light Blue Cohesion 14 Training Shoes - 8.5M

These are not sneakers, these are bedroom slippers as far as my feet are concerned. Having a roomy toe box, even in a medium width, is perfect for me. I have a narrow heel and the plush inner heel area is so cushy, there are no need for pads or extra socks. Other athletic shoes I stumble around in because the sole extends too far out on the sides and I tend to roll off them at the ankle. These, you can put your foot down in any direction and the support is stable and not clunky. They are light and nicely ventilated, but still don't get soaked in the puddles or rain. I hadn't bought them in years but as soon as I slipped them on, I remembered why I loved them so much. Other sneakers you have to order up a size to get the length, and then the sides gap and the spongy soles pick up gravel and dump them right into those gaps. Soooo annoying to have to stop and empty out little bits of asphalt and even glass chips! These are the only athletic shoes I will ever buy again. They worked in my 20's, now I'm looking ahead to my 60's!
