I have worn Saucony for years and my son, now 4, has had a pair for every size shoe he has been in since he started walking.  I've always been so happy with them until I bought the red H&L sneaker.  After the first wash, the suede has faded and looks almost pink as where the leather is still the bright original red.  They look horrible now! This was my experience with the red ones, can't speak to the others . . .
