Overall

Very comfortable for Long Runs. Cushion helpful for runners with poor biomechanics like me. At the same time, offers excellent stability & motion control. Wore out in only 300 miles. Short durability only downside.

Overall

This is the only shoe for overpronators left on the market that is reasonably sized and does not resemble a brick, like the Brooks Beast. I do like the lower heel with the majority of Saucony shoes. However, overall, the quality of the material seems poor and the stitching comes apart easily.

5/5

Overall

I have been using Saucony shoes for over 20 yrs. Ever since I found them, I've liked them, even through the different model changes. I currently wear the OMNI series as I need good cushioning and stability because of an off center running gate. Tried to try another brand about 5 years ago and got Plantar Fasciitis. Will continue with Saucony unless they drastically change the shoe from what it is now.
