Exhibit 23.3



INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' CONSENT AND REPORT ON SCHEDULES


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Saucony, Inc.
Peabody, MA

We consent to the use in this Registration Statement (relating to 250,000 shares
of Class A Common  Stock  and  1,750,000  shares  of  Class B Common  Stock)  of
Saucony,  Inc. on Form S-8 of our report dated February 13, 2003 (March 11, 2003
as to Note 22),  relating to the consolidated  financial  statements of Saucony,
Inc. as of and for the year ended  January 3, 2003 (which  report  expresses  an
unqualified opinion and includes explanatory paragraphs concerning the change in
the year ended  January 3, 2003 in the method of  accounting  for  goodwill  and
intangible  assets and to the  application  of  procedures  relating  to certain
disclosures  of  financial  statement  amounts  related  to the  January 4, 2002
consolidated  financial  statements that were audited by other auditors who have
ceased operations), appearing in this Registration Statement.

Our audits of the financial statements referred to in our aforementioned  report
also included the January 3, 2003 financial statement schedule of Saucony, Inc.,
listed in Item 15(a)2.  This financial  statement schedule is the responsibility
of the Company's  management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion based
on our audit. In our opinion, such January 3, 2003 financial statement schedule,
when  considered in relation to the January 3, 2003 basic  financial  statements
taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set
forth  therein.  The financial  statement  schedule for the year ended January 4
2002 was audited by other  auditors who have ceased  operations.  Those auditors
expressed an opinion, in their report dated February 14, 2002, that such January
4, 2002 financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the January
4, 2002 basic  financial  statements  taken as a whole (prior to the disclosures
referred to above),  presented fairly, in all material respects, the information
set forth therein.  The financial  statement schedule for the year ended January
5, 2001 was audited by other  auditors,  whose report,  dated February 26, 2001,
expressed an unqualified  opinion on those  statements  and financial  statement
schedule.
