Saucony Women's ProGrid Integrity ST2 Walking Shoe

I'm a server in restaurant, they check every box important to me. Non-slip, very comfortable and stable. Last pair lasted 3+ years.

Some background about my feet.. I have 10 EE (extra-wide feet). I was wearing New Balance WW811 walking shoes. Well I had to quit wearing them because of my health. I have had repeated and chronic bacterial infections in my big toes (probably due to diabetes) so I had to wear open toed sandals so that there would be little to no rubbing of the shoe against my toes due to severe pain. I had put my NB shoes away for maybe 7 months. I got them out last week to wear to a friends house who I hadn't seen in 11 years (didn't want them to see my feet not only due to the nasty toes but my psoriasis is bad on my feet). Soon after I put my NB shoes on they felt shorter than they used to and I definitely felt the big toes rubbing against the shoe. I had a lot of pain after wearing them 2 hours. So I quickly found new shoes! Upon a recommendation from a friend on a neuropathy support group I checked out Saucony.com. I found these shoes and read a good portion of the good reviews and all the bad reviews since there weren't many bad ones. I checked Amazon to see if I could get them cheaper, I could, by $10, plus since I'm a Prime member I got free 2-day shipping which turned into free overnight shipping!!I've worn these shoes for a few days now and I have NOT had any issues with my toes or feet hurting. They required NO break in period at all. These are the most cushoned shoes I have ever tried. I am thrilled! The toe box is wide enough as well as tall enough not to rub against my toes. But the shoe does not look abnormally large in the toe area at all. The only time I feel my toe rubbing on the top of the shoe is if I lift my toe up higher than when I do when walking. They are flexible enough for me and provide comfort when walking. I have not noticed any abnormal rubbing anywhere. I am so happy with my purchase I will try to buy this brand from now on.The only thing I do not like about these shoes are the laces that come with them. They seem like they will be easy to untie on their own. They are a pasticy feeling material that are not flat but more round though not as round and dense as boot laces. I am glad I also purchased the Lock Laces for these. I expect those to be delivered tomorrow.

Great walker! I got both the tan suede & the white pair. Most comfortable of any I have tried. Used to buy expensive running shoes, but these are better & can buy 2 for the price of one compared to the running shoes. Plus they seem to give better support since I only walk and not really a runner. I have had both knees replaced, neck & back surgery & these seem not to aggravate me. The toe box is wide & deep enough for toes not to rub on the top of the toe box. Toes splay out better so not to feel squished together. Height of the ankle area does not rub the ankle bones, so thats good. Comfortable insert, but i can also use my orthotic, by removing insert & replacing with my own. It does not take up enough room that shoe feels too tight, another plus. I got my regular size & width in the tan model, but opted for the wide in the white. I like the wide better, but its not too wide & does not look so wide. Leather was soft ,pliable & flexable so can use right out of the box with very little break in time, if any. Very happy with this model. I tried the progrid omni, but the toe was too narrow & more on the pointy side so toes felt cramped. The St2 was more rounded/ square & had more room for your toes. Heel does not slip, another plus for the St2. As an older senior citizen, I appreciate being able to find a shoe for my needs that doesn't break the bank !! I hope they NEVER stop making this model, & don't change it for a " New or improved " one. It ain't broke, DON'T try to fix it.I love this model, as you can tell, but everyone is different so you must try for yourself, this is just my experience from trying many brands, ( Brooks, New Balance, Asics, you name it)

I love these shoes and feel it is a shame they are no longer selling them in the Shoe Catalogues and other places I used to order online.There were HUNDREDS of positive reviews about this style of Saucony shoe where I used to order, yet they have either been discontinued or changed/renamed. They came in size 10.5 and in NARROW widths! Not everyone has wide feet and these shoee fit even slender women :) and it's so difficult to find supportive shoes to wear longer than 2 hours for slender feet.To the Saucony company: I hope you have come out with something as awesome as this shoe because this is the only walking/exercise shoe that my daughter and I have worn for the last 10 years. If anyone knows how to purchase another pair, please contact me through this site. I will check Amazon again to see if they have just ONE MORE PAIR! :) Thanks Amazon!-----------------------Editing my review:Just wanted to add that I have purchased more of these wonderful shoes through Amazon and am eagerly awaiting my next delivery. I used them all summer for gardening and they kept my arthritis and knee problems from bothering me even though I worked for hours outdoors. The black ones work well for me throughout last winter, (and my daughter who walks almost everywhere now carrying a 6 month old baby :) and the white ones were great for summer. Thanks Amazon, for keeping these in stock as long as you could get them! :)
