Common Pitfalls
The problem with some models of Saucony shoes is that they are not designed for serious athletes. If you run or walk long distances, it is important to purchase a shoe designed specifically for running or walking. Some Saucony shoes are not able to help with certain foot problems. The colors and styles of shoe that Saucony offers are somewhat limited, which can be a problem for stylish customers. A few Saucony models are on the expensive side, which is out of some people's budgets for athletic shoes.
Where To Buy
Saucony shoes are a well-known brand of shoe that has been around for many years. Because of this, it is an easy matter to find Saucony shoes at nearly all shoe retailers. Stores that specialize in athletic shoes, such as REI, Sports Authority and Academy, will offer a larger variety. Online retailers like Zappos and Amazon also offer a wide selection of Saucony shoes for men, women and children.
Cost
The cost for Saucony shoes varies by the model of the shoe and the purpose. Prices can vary from $50 to around $100. Most shoes are between $60 and $80. Look for stores offering discounts on older models or overstocks for additional savings off the retail value.
Comparison Shopping

Also recommended is the Saucony ProGrid Jazz 13, as a well-cushioned shoe perfect for walking or daily use. The Saucony Grid Cohesion 3 has a five-star user rating on Zappos.
Accessories
Even with the most comfortable shoe, not all shoes are prepared for immediate wear. Many athletic shoes also require the use of an additional shoe insert to make the shoe fit your foot better and add extra shock absorbency and comfort. Ask the sales staff at the store where you purchase the shoes for recommendations on shoe inserts.
