“Disappointing”

“I am a long time runner (30+ years) and have been a Sauconey fan for almost all of those years. I buy their running shoes because they are well constructed and usually combine the support and cushioning I need as well as a wide toe box. This model was disappointing in all of those areas. The most surprising aspect, however, is the disintegration of the heel which leaves a black soot like mark on rugs and other items against which the shoe rubs immediately after use. Although I have commonly experienced wear of the heel I have never experienced disintegration before. I am still a Sauconey fan and will continue to buy their shoes. After all, one bad experience out of more than forty purchases isn't a bad track record.”
