How it ranks
The Saucony Omni 21 ranks among the stronger daily trainers in our data. Durability and cushioning are its strongest sub-ratings. The rating rests on 4 runner reviews and 7 other rated shoes in the Omni product line. Another 8 reviews would set the confidence on this shoe's own reviews.
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.

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

40 mpw training for 5K and 10K came from the Saucony Omni 20
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
