I am a Saucony fan and loyalist, and have worn the same model for many years. It is designed for a high arch and pronation. They are so comfortable and perfect for my feet that I often dread having to wear ordinary street shoes. I also use a Spenco orthotic for further high arch support... but this is not necessary for all runners and walkers. Every now and then Saucony does a promotion of a classic model in some fun wild color... my last investment was hot pink. There is no other running shoe for me. Five stars for Saucony.
