Common Pitfalls
The problem with some Saucony shoes is that they are designed for flat surface running. This is fine for individuals who run on tracks or treadmills, but it can be bothersome to someone who runs outside or on the road. Some users complain of the toe box pinching their feet during running. The shoes may be too narrow for individuals with wide feet. Some runners complain that the shoes do not hold up for longer runs than 5K or four- or file-mile runs.

These stores also have excellent customer service, even for shoes that have been used. Amazon.com also sells many Saucony track shoes at discount prices.
