Asics Gel-NYC Cream / Moonrock BBBEF2353

Reviewer Stephanie B Head

This is the first pair of Saucony shoes I've ever owned and I'm very pleased. I've typically worn the heavy, suede, New Balance 564 fora retro running shoe, but wanted something lighter. The low profile sole is more reminiscent of Onitsuka Tiger shoes, which are also a favorite of mine.

Unlike the Asics shoes, these have a more traditional running shoe style. As vegan shoes, I don't expect them to last long and I'm not expecting a great athletic shoe, because vegan shoes never are, imo. They're very comfortable shoes, although I'd still give the edge to Onitsuka Tigers in that regard. I am slightly worried that they don't breathe well, due to an inner sock lining that covers the entire inside, but that's not a huge factor for me.

The fit is just great for me, but I have somewhat narrow feet. These do run narrow, especially in comparison to the 564, which is wide even in standard widths. My most common athletic shoe sizes are 10.5-11 and I purchased these in a perfect 10.5. For the sake of comparison, I typically wear an 11 in Nike, 10.5 in Onitsuka Tiger and have recently had to size up to an 11.5 in New Balance.

In closing, I'll note that they come with 2 sets of laces in different colors, even though I saw no mention of this anywhere. I ordered them in Navy, and in addition to the Navy laces shown, they also included some in cream that match the stripe. I was actually hoping they would do that and will probably use the cream colored laces.

A little clunker than the brown suede first pair! Still love em

Reviewer Mike Gagnon

I'm very pleased with these shoes. They fit perfectly -- they are a true size 11 -- which is not a common situation these days. The medium width is also accurate.

The build quality is very good. It feels very well put together, with the edge and sole well attached, and good quality stitching throughout. The end of the tongue and the interior edge is lined with an man-made "leather" that looks and feels high quality. The canvas body is sturdy. Even the shoelaces are of good quality.

The overall look is nice. It's unusual, with a blue leaf-type pattern and a solid gray, but it works in terms of looks. It's not flashy, but it has more visual appeal than the usual monotone color scheme.

There's enough padding in the insole to make these comfortable for walking, but it could do with a bit more for extra comfort.

All in all, a mostly comfortable, nice looking, well-made pair of sneakers.

These shoes have been helpful in dealing with my heel spur. I would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting a comfortable pair of shoes.

Reviewer Susan Chester

They took a bit to actually iron onto the shoe but they seem great quality and havnt scratched or came off yet! I sprayed with some weather protection on it too! Overall happy with them!

Reviewer Joanne Kilmartin

I have been a sketchers fan for a long time, and these shoes are not the exception. Very comfortable, perfect size, nice looking shoes, and so far no issues. Highly recommended, and I'd gladly buy sketcher shoes again.

A little tight round toe area, have to get them broken in

Reviewer Jeffry S Hepple

It's a good looking sneaker and comfortable but it could of been made a little better with more sole support for the money I pay for it. it's not good for one with flat feet. You are going to have to buy at least arch support.
