Saucony Men's Echelon 6 Navy / Citron Ankle-High Running - 12WW

These have been the best road running shoes I have owned. I am currently on my second pair and had similar experiences with both. There are two minor complaints: 1) they are a little tight across the top of the foot so they need to be laced differently and 2) there is a short break-in period as slight pressure just off center of the ball of the foot can be felt until after a few runs. The shoes are otherwise very comfortable. No shin splints as I had with my last pair of shoes. They are also durable. My first pair have 546 miles on them (see picture). The inner heel cup on the right shoe tore after getting caught in a heavy rain storm. A small hole in one of the vamps appeared after 312 mi and the heels did not show significant wear until about 480 mi. I am impressed by how long it took before the shoes began to show wear. Overall, these are a great pair of shoes.
