Nike Ja 2 Blue Beyond / Celestial Gold FECE1425

Reviewer TRUDI

They machine wash very well, as they are canvas rather than ultra suede. I like the extra wideness as I like to stretch out my toes. I find the green a bit too bright. I prefer the blue ones.

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.

My son is so oddly picky about his shoes and these are classic and perfect.

I love them ,get compliments all the time!! You can wear them with anything.

Reviewer Rich Robideaux

Since it took over a month to get these shoes, I thought I'd better keep them. In the future, I'll go to a local store. Easier to try on and since the stores are open again, that makes more sense.

These are a medium brown color shoe that definitely qualify as a “sneaker” type shoe. They have what I’d call gum soles, but with a zig zag pattern for traction. Above the bottom, between the bottom and the upper is a cream white border around the entire shoe that is about 3/4 inch in height. The leather upper is a soft type leather that I do believe would get even softer with wear and break in, but even right out of the box, are pretty soft and comfortable. They do fit well for the size. The shoes come with two sets of laces, one that are a reddish-brown solid color, and the others are a brown/white two tone for styling. These are a mid-cut shoe that have good padding around the entry. These are very nice shoes that will be just the ticket for winter casual when you don’t want to wear regular runners or trainers.

I liked the shoe but my granddaughter had the wrong size. It received the shoes but they were way to big. I returned them (I thought) but when I tried to mail them back I was told they were shipped from Fife, UK and it would cost me
$58.00 dollars to mail them back. Can Amazon give me another address in the states so I don't have to pay that? I have since ordered the right size.

I bought these for my son. He loves them. This is the only shoe he wears.

Reviewer DivPubSafety

These are a hit with my 15 year old son and he received many compliments at school.

I have never had a pair of Steel Toes I didn't hate. I still used them and wore out those I had before I finally bought a Suzuki Boulevard C50T Cruiser motorcycle a couple weeks ago. I wanted a tough sole shoe with a steel toe, especially while I get used to stopping and restarting the bike, but I wanted the shoe to have some feel for the gears and brakes. These Skechers Cankton WORK steel toes were as comfortable as my nicest and most expensive Adidas, New Balance or Reebok tennis shoes, or as any of my street shoes. (I did take out the Skechers insole (only because as a WORK shoe it put more padding under my heel than I needed for riding.) I put in my own favorite brand of insoles for tennis - more arch support, and a little less heel and toe support - and the shoes felt even better. I had a lot more sensitivity to the left foot platform gear shifter, and to the right foot brake on my Cruiser. I would not wear these for tennis, but with these I no longer have to pick my oldest or dirtiest tennis shoes, just to go for a walk in the woods, or in the park after it's rained. I go for rides, I since I don't notice the steel toe at all, I even wear them just to run errands. I normally wear a 10.5 M, but I bought these in a 10 W and they fit great.
