Discount Saucony Women's Grid V2 Training Shoe

Customer Ratings:

I just received this shoe last week. I ordered it because I have been doing insanity and boot camp and I started suffering from planar fasciitis as a result of the extra activity. I ended up getting custom orthotic inserts, but the inserts are very very stiff and while they are fine for walking they are no good for these types of activities that involve a lot of jumping and push ups. So, I needed to find a shoe with more support since I can't wear the inserts for working out. These fit the bill.

My foot is supported all around. I have very flat feet and these have great arch support. They support the ankle. Everything. Miles better than my old cross trainer (which was also a Saucony, but older lesser model). These are also roomy enough for my very wide foot and a toe spacer (which I wear all the time for bunions). I can't honestly say that these shoes have the best cushioning. They are not cushy per se, but I do my insanity workouts in the basement, on the concrete floor that is covered only by a carpet remnent and a bit of carpet padding and I'm not hurting on the impacts. Knees doing ok, ankles ok. The shoes are also FAIRLY light, but a little heavier than my old shoes. They are definately heavier than a lot of the light shoes available right now but you do tend to trade support for weight. Shoes with support will tend to weigh more. But these aren't too bad.

For me they were true to size, I take a 6, I bought a 6, they fit. If you have a very narrow foot, they maybe too wide, not sure. I'm sure the laces can be tighter etc... but there really might be too much room for someone with a narrow foot.

One drawback, which to me was not worth giving a lesser rating. The look. It's ugly. I got the silver and green. It's like a moonboot or something. But, I wear them to work out, not walk a runway. So I don't really care. But I'm putting it in the review in case anyone thinks it might be a cute shoe to wear around... it's not. It's silver. Very silver. The picture doesn't do it justice how incredibly shiny this shoe is. Blinding really. I might go blind looking at it.

I have been wearing Saucony for years because they tend to have good arch support, a wider toe box but a narrower heel. This pair of Saucony fit differently: not as much arch support and a wider heel (toe box is the norm for Saucony).

I ordered these because I injured my left metatarsal/ball of foot wearing a pair of Nike "Frees". According to my sports doctor, they had way too much flex in sole and not nearly enough support. As a result, when I walk (I cannot run anymore), I have pain when my foot flexes.

These shoes are designed with a more ridgid shoe bed per the Saucony description the V2 "provides maximum deflection on impact" and this is what I needed to help with my foot injury. In this respect, they are great. However, if you are used to the more traditional Saucony footbed, you will find these may feel too "hard".

I am keeping the V2 because the ridgid foot bed is necessary with my foot injury. Having said that, if I did not have the injury, I would have returned them because they have less arch support and run to wide in the heel.

Saucony has been my "Go To" shoe for years, the fit was like a glove...NOW their shoe has changed slightly that it no longer fit good for me. This shoe in particular doesn't hug my heel well, feels too sloppy for my taste. Mind you I only wore Saucany's running shoe, I have never tried their Crossfit shoe before. Size was true to my normal sizing and I thought they were pretty cool looking, pic shows grey but they are very shiny.

Honest reviews on Saucony Women's Grid V2 Training Shoe

I have high arches and am an over supinator so I need a lot of support in my shoes. The V2's have been great. They are sturdy, supportive and really comfortable. They have been great for walking, boxing, jumping and running. AND, it is hard for me to find shoes that are comfy and black so there are perfect. In fact, I wore mine for a day and then immediately ordered another pair so I would have them when my current ones wore out.

this is the first time i've tried a saucony shoe. i've been teaching group ex classes for 30 years, and it seems like just when i fall in love with a shoe the company either changes the model or discontinues my size (5 or 5 1/2). that's how i ended up with this particular shoe. i teach a variety of modalities including some very high intensity/impact sport classes, as well as step, bosu,and dance. i need a shoe with not only great lateral support, but a good amount of cushiong as my feet are pretty beat up after all these years. honestly this saucony does the trick, but i have an issue when i don't get the right shoe on just right. it digs in just above my ankle on the inside, and is a bit painful. it's particularly bothersome at the start of class, and almost always resolves itself. maybe it's my foot/ankle or maybe it's the shoe. all in all i can't complain, and at least saucony carries a size 5.
