SauconyMen's Zealot Iso 2 Running Shoe

Even though my previous shoes were no longer available, these were the perfect upgrade for to replace them.

Like several reviewers, I find these shoes particularly tight across the forefoot, especially the metatarsal area. My workaround was to replace the (full-length) insole with a 3/4 length insole. So much more comfortable now! Ironically, while the shoe is tight at the front, it is loose on my heel. I'm using a heel lock lacing technique to keep them from riding up and down and dragging my (very thin) sock down into the shoe. I've never had a shoe require quite so much hacking, but I really like its looks and colors, so I'm committed to making it work for me.

8/30/2020 UPDATE: Lost a star, as 1) more eyelets broke, and 2) the padding at the back of the ankle wore away, leaving me with a really nasty rub and blister. I drilled new eyelets and relaced (more for the challenge to see if it would work, and it did). With the worn away padding in the back, yes, I could have stopped sooner, that's on me, but I've also chosen not to where those shoes running or even walking anymore - it set me back more than a couple weeks of healing, and I don't want to go through that again! Searching for new shoes now :(, even though except for the missing foam cushion behind the Achilles tendon, they otherwise still look good and are comfortable. I just looked and saw that I bought them 12/18, so I haven't gotten two years from them...:(...I'm taking away another star.3/22/2020 UPDATE (from 1/10/19 review): The overall shoe itself is still looking great. The only complaint that I have to the shoe maker is that two of the eyelets near the top have torn. I have relaced around those and used the extra holes at the top. That's the only negative I've found with them so far-pull too hard, and the eyelets will eventually rip. Otherwise, the shoe still feels comfortably supported on all sides of the foot, no looseness felt.Original Review: To start, I found these googling "running shoes for heavy men". The cushioning is as expected (lots), the shoe looks good. But what gets me every time is that a company has finally figured out shoelaces! You pull on them, and each loop tightens evenly. No more "start at the bottom, work your way up" to tighten the shoe. No more tight at the top near the ankle, but loose near the toes. It has the right tightness/hug throughout the length of the foot. Really hugs well, no loose points with your foot sliding around, and conversely, no pinch points either (I have wide feet, no issue).

I love the shoes and just bought a second pair. That being said you better be prepared to reglue the rubber strips on the bottom of your shoes. The rubber sole is not one piece and the strips separate from the shoe. I used gorilla glue and tape and managed to keep them in use. I still like the comfort in spite of this inconvenience.

Las zapatillas son espectaculares, cómodas desde que te las pones. Ideales para los que buscamos mucha amortiguacion. La suela con surcos profundos te permiten correr en superficies mixtas. Yo corro mucho en pasto natural para evitar el impacto en superficies duras como asfalto. Los últimos 4 años use Saucony Zealot Iso 1, talla 11, espectaculares. Este modelo Iso 2 lo siento más flexible. Aún no las pruebo, las he devuelto por que son muy angostas en la punta. Usualmente soy talla US11 para zapatillas de running, pedí media talla más siguiendo las recomendaciones, no fue suficiente. Estoy pidiendo talla 12.

Easy purchase decision. The IsoFit models almost don't feel like I'm wearing a shoe at all. Light weight with support in all the right places.

Fit too tight. Unlike the other pairs I own

I started wearing Saucony Neutral running shoes a couple years back, and they are fantastic shoes for a neutral runner looking for some cushioning. These shoes look great and when I tried them on I could feel the cushioning, like some of my previous Saucony’s, however, these shoes did not fit me in length. Just like other reviews stated, Saucony keeps on making their shoe smaller for the same size, I use to wear a 12.5, in the Zealots 13 is too small and 14 is too much of a size jump. Because I like Saucony I would definitely recommend you give them a try, but their inconsistent sizing is really disappointing. Hopefully they correct the issue in feature releases.

COMODOS Y LIGEROS Y AMORTIGUAN BASTANTE BIEN EL GOLPE AL TALONY SON ANCHOS EN EL FRENTE Y NO ENCIMAN LOS DEDOS

Lo uso para caminar

Fits small. Order half size larger. Not as wonderful as the original but still an awesome shoe. I have 3 pairs. Weight and clunkiness was sacrificed in order to improve the materials from its predecessor.

Da mucho soporte a la carrera; buena opción para largas distancias, por la absorción del impacto. Muy recomendables para carreras arriba de 15 km

Soy talla 8 mex y me quedo bien, la calidad es buena.
