Brilliant daily shoe: fits like a glove, brilliant support. Like the old guides with the supportive element.

I have run well over 1000 miles in these and they are coming apart a little bit but still work and don’t hurt my feet/joints at all

I got the Omni as a counterpart to the Endorphin Speeds for longer road runs

4/5
Overall
I really like the fit and the drop of this show. It's not zero, but it's not a big wedge like a Mizuno. Durability has been very good and it was comfortable off the bat(no break in really needed). Upper is very durable as well. For those longer runs if you need some stability but not a tank like a Brooks or NB. I got these on sale on a lark and I use them every day now unless racing or speedwork on track. Value is good for the wear and the outer sole is designed for road. Reminds me of how much I like Sauconys from the 80s and 90s. I really got sick of Hokas and their unresponsive feel, and I changed my gait and did Knees Over Toes System so now mostly shoes are not critical as they were before
