Saucony Women’s Cohesion 14 Shoes

Update several years later with new pair Saucony Women’s Cohesion 14 Shoes; narrower toe box
I have worn Saucony running shoes for 40 years, and have never gone wrong with a pair. My first pair was orange and garish, but on sale at an outlet. I was a poor college student training for a 1/2 marathon, and bought what I could afford. From then on it was love at first step. Like all the other Saucony shoes in my past, the Saucony Women’s Cohesion 14 Road Running Shoe (what a mouthful) is a delight. I normally wear a women’s size 9, but have a wide foot, so ordered a 9.5 US in this shoe. Good fit, good arch support, no rub at the back of the heel, nice stability against ankle roll on irregular terrain, nice sole cushion for heel strike and follow through, good flexibility at the bend of the metatarsal-toe joints. Good breathability…no sweaty feet after prolonged use (I prefer wearing socks). I’m not the fastest runner/walker on the block anymore, but these shoes still allow me to get out there and try. Plus, the black/grey/blue color scheme is attractive, even when wearing with casual slacks or jeans.Update, several years later: My previous pair of Saucony Cohesion 14 shoes are ready to retire. After regular use for several years, the front sole is beginning to peel back and my great toes are pushing forward in the toe box while running, wearing this area thin. I lace the shoes loose to help widen the toe box, and agree with other reviewers that the Saucony toe box on this shoe is more narrow than in past decades (I’ve worn Saucony brand for running since early 1980’s). To adjust for the narrower design and different manufacturer, I ordered up from a size 9.5 to a size 10. I was skeptical that a size 10 would work because I normally wear a 9.5 running shoe. Right out of the box the new size 10’s feel ok. My great toes are a full index-finger width back from the front end of the toe (see attached photo). This is comfortable. However the heel area is a bit loose compared to the size 9.5. I wear socks with these shoes, but as yet don’t know if the heel will slip when running uneven terrain. The photos show the old size 9.5 (grey/blue) shoes compared to the new size 10 (blue/light blue) shoes. The length difference is barely perceptible, and the new shoes show the slimmer toe box. Just be aware that you may want to size up or go to a wide size for comfort. Still a good shoe for the price.

Good basic shoe but snug fit
I’ve been a Saucony sneaker fan since my high school running days (40+ years). Purchased a size 8 and find the fit snug. I normally wear a 7 1/2 or 8, and have an average to narrow foot. These are narrow, so consider buying a wide size, especially if you wear inserts. I use these for walking & the gym and they are taking time to break in as they are stiff and not as cushiony as their higher end sneakers. Would not recommend for running.

Sizing runs small
I usually wear an 8 and my toes feel too tight and smooshed in these. I recommend buying up at least a half size.I like the color and so far they are holding up well. I just keep hoping the will stretch out the more I wear them. Too late to send them back.

Good fit, nicely made and cute
Perfect for my wide forefoot and high arch. The fit is snug but feels comfortable. I’d rather have this close fit and support than a loosey-goosey fit that I was getting in the Saucony Excursion terrain shoe in the same size. I also like the heel cuff, the exursion was skimpy on the padding and got lumpy too quickly. These are overall very nicely made and nice looking.

Good cushioned shoe. Very pleased with shoes and price

Talla correcta y me quedaron perfectos.Buena calidad.

Súper cómodos!!
