How it ranks
The Saucony Omni 16 sits about average for daily trainers in our data. Cushioning and durability are its strongest sub-ratings. The rating rests on 2 runner reviews and 7 other rated shoes in the Omni product line. Another 10 reviews would set the confidence on this shoe's own reviews.
Current estimate: Decent
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.
Confidence
25/100
Based on product-line history, external ratings, and 2 runner ratings.

Pros
- Both reviewers rate comfort and durability 5 out of 5, and one runs 50 to 70 miles a week in them.
- One reviewer is on a fourth or fifth pair, using it for distance cross country training.
Cons
- Averaging 9.8 oz across the men's and women's builds, it is heavier than the 8.9 oz median for daily trainers on sale, and one reviewer calls it too heavy for racing.
