Replacement of the omni 12, did not feel as plush & cushioned ( omni 12 was way more comfortable ). Also toe off took some getting used to, as omni 13 is flatter at the front & has less of a rocker ( demanding greater meta tarsal flexibility during toe off). After 2 weeks & gait readjustment, omni 13 feels better than any shoe I have run in past 2 years ( asics gel forte, saucony omni 12 , hurricane 15 ) .
