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.

Perfect Justice describe love them

they run small and the tongue is somewhat flimsy making it hard to position right before lacing. I noticed that there is extra material on my right shoe where the tongue is sewn on. this is noticeable and quite annoying when I run. for lighting weights though, its not too bad.

I live in boat shoes, both ashore (mostly) an on my boat. This is my second pair of Sea Kites. I also have a pair in another color. The Sea Kites hold up well with my day to day use and a bit of abuse. I've been through Timberland, Bass, and Clarks over the years. They have gone through up and down cycles of quality. Right now Sperry is on top and I find the others disappointing in terms of fit and quality.

Saw another review and got a half size bigger than usual and glad I did. normally wear 10.5, no way that would have fit. 11 is good though. Love the thick soles. Very comfy right out of the box.
Reviewer Summer Fitch

This is a nice pair of lightweight shoes. They have excellent traction that makes them perfect for trail running even on rough, muddy, or slippery terrain. The shoes breathe well and have extra protection on the toe and heel. I am normally a size 10.5-11 and the 11 fit well. They have good space in the toe box and feature a stylish design. These are durable, practical, and versatile shoes.
