It's an OK shoe I walk about 15 miles a day and that's just at work. I had these shoes for about 3-5 days and the air pocket on the left shoe now has a leak and makes the shoe even more uncomfortable & also squeaks bad!. Really wish I could get my money back.

I like the style so ordered a pair in size 10. Upon receiving them I saw they were too narrow so returned them for size 10.5. I have been wearing them for a couple months now and while I can deal with it, they are still too narrow so I doubt I'll be buying this brand again.

I purchased these shoes for my husband. They already squeak. This is the second pair. It is like they had a blow out. And he hardly wears them.

Right out of the box the shoes had a plastic feel to them. That could go away after they are broken in to wear. The fit was true to size for me.

At first for the two weeks the shoe felt okay but then it seemed to flaten out and was not as comfortable. I use them for work covering an average of 7-10 miles a day I weight 230lbs I'm getting some softer gel soles, so in all a found them to be a very average shoe, size was accurate I'm a 12 wide. I'll wear them till my body tells me otherwise.

I tried these for walking and we do a lot of walking every day. Prior to this I had the Progrid Integrity ST 2's which are wonderful. The Omni Walker however is not as comfortable, and is in fact, quite stiff and hard in comparison--even after many months of walking in them. I have very flat feet, and thought these might be good for that. Next time I order new sneakers, I will go back to the Saucony Progrid Intefrity ST 2's! Much more comfortable and supportive for my flat feet then the Omni Walkers!

I got these for work. I'm on my feet all day, they are very comfortable. I read a review on them that said they squeak after a while, they were correct. In less than a month they make all kinds of noise. I work in a loud shop so nobody can tell. For the money I spent you would think they would be quiet.

Comfortable and supportive. I wear them to work out on the treadmill. But, after about four months of use, the sole on the left shoe came loose. I glued it back with "Shoe Goo" and it seems to be holding; but, I'm disappointed.

Warning! do not buy these shoes unless you want to have pain in the back of your heel. I don't understand how other reviewers thought that these shoe were so comfortable. I instantly noticed that in the back of the shoe (where the back of your heel hits) is a hard plastic area that rubs on your heel. I can't believe that Saucony hasn't notice this or they were just flat out defective. I would have given this shoe no stars for comfort if I could. I'm looking for a Black walking shoe for work because I'm on my feet all day on hard floors. I may try the Brooks Addiction or a New Balance shoe at this point. No Saucony for me!

The shoe is okay, but the inside stitching requires the use of adhesive padding to prevent friction ulcers.

I switched from the Spira Classic Walker to the Saucony Grid Omni Walker and it was a mistake. The Saucony are stiff in the soles, lacking a comfortable bend when walking. They also lack sufficient padding or thickness in the soles. The fit is a bit tight, not true to size. Comfort takes priority over style and the Saucony failed with this shoe. They look similar to the Spira but fall way short in comfort. I will go back to wearing Spira Classics.

My husband has been wearing a pair of these for the past 6 years or so. He finally wore them out so we bought another pair but they are NOT the same. The fit is now narrower, and, even though he normally wears 9.5 wide, the size 10 wide was still too small. We were frustrated and decided it wasn't worth the money anymore.

The shoes were defective. The left shoe arch support was painful. it seemed to be a narrower shoe. The insole did not fit properly within the shoe. I sent them back.

Fit and size and comfort were great but the same thing happened to me as another review on here. A part fell right off of the heel as I was walking. They literally fell apart!

Tried these for 3 months and I'm finally pulling the plug. Wore them to the gym and occasionally just out and about. I thought they would stretch a bit but they never did. Toebox is too narrow and too shallow (not tall enough). If you have a "tall" foot, this may be a problem for you. Width is marginal. I have had wide shoes from other brands that felt truly wide. These really don’t. The leather over the toebox developed wrinkles in a short amount of time. The shoes started getting a noticeable squeak, too. Saucony, I wanted to like you, but it's you, not me.

1st time buyer, very unhappy with this shoe. For some reason hurts the top of my left foot's big toe. very rigid, very uncomfortable. the heel feels like its elevated on the instep of the heel, uneven. I was a first time buyer from this company, and will not purchase this brand again.

I had great expectations going in for this shoe. As another reviewer also commented. This shoe started squeaking about 4 hours after wearing it. I am using the shoes in dry office conditions. The squeak is very noticeable. At the end of the first day the in step of the right shoe started to bulge in and hurt my foot. After the first week , these shoes hurt my feet to the point I can't wear them. It is too late to return, so I will have to eat the cost. Zappos should at least let us return the shoes so they can give them away to people in need. This is the first pair of Saucony I have had a problem with.

After a year, the side of the shoe separated from the sole, making the shoe unusable. Poor quality adhesive holding sole onto upper.

I have a very high arch and like support for it. These shoes have very good side supports for the heel, but I would like it to extend just a bit more for the arch. These have better support and comfort compared to many other walking shoes I have tried, so I kept them. Long term, they felt better and shaped to my foot better. I ordered the EE for my wide feet and the front box area give adequate room for my toes. Compared to Nike and New Balance, the EE is very wide. Unfortunately, after only a few weeks of use, they started to develop a "crunch" like noise internally (not the sole, but rather internal). The noise is getting louder and is now in both shoes. I believe something internally is losing is lamination. They still feel fine and give good support but are too embarrassing to wear due to the noise. While comfortable, I do not recommend these shoes due to problems with longevity and a limited warrantee (45 days).

They seem to be more comfortable than the Ascis I replaced. However, after making a couple of 2.5 mile walks, the left shoe began to squeak badly. I saw others complain about this. It is VERY annoying! I would love to replace the left shoe with one that is quiet.

I purchased these shoes in the past, and they worked for me, so I repurchased them, the fit is different, I ordered A wide, as I did before, this feel like A narrow, they're extremely tight in the toe bed, very disappointing.

The only reason why I gave these shoes a low score on Overall and Comfort is because the back heels on these came uneven and when walking in them it felt like you might fall and twist your ankle. Also, the arch support was to far back towards the heels, making it feel very uncomfortable to wear as well.
The first one I got I exchanged it and the second one was exactly the same. I'm not sure if it was bad batch or just poor manufacturing.
But I would not order them again online.
