Customer Reviews Saucony Grid Omni Walker

This was my first pair of Saucony sneakers as I have worn New Balance for the past 20 years or more. I found the quality of the NB had really slipped so I decided to try a different brand. These Saucony shoes fit well and are comfortable to walk in. I have problem feet and ones that are hard to fit (very long and narrow -- 11 N). So far I am pleased with these shoes although I could only find medium width but they are not terribly wide.

I liked the look of these shoes when I took them out of the box. I purchased them because I have plantar fasciitis as well as an over pronation and bad ankles from a previous accident. So I needed something sturdy as well as cushiony because my feet get sore when I walk. I also have hip pain and wanted something to help. The shoes fit okay but they seemed a little narrow after walking for a while. I did order a Wide Width but might have needed a double wide in this brand. I also found the shoes a little stiff, but I thought that would help with the pronation as my foot fit right into the heel very well and deep and it was stiff enough to keep it steady, so at first I was happy. but after wearing them around the house for a while I found the stiffness to be too much and my feet were sore and hurting. So I did return them. And I set out to other stores so I could try things on. I was so happy that Zappos helps with making the return process very easy, and my refund was applied 2 days after I sent the shoes back. If you need something sturdy, these are the shoes for you. I think I need something a little softer but also having strength. I'm still searching for the right shoe.

Just opened the box and tried them on and so far they feel very good. I've been wearing New Balance for the past 20 years but the last couple of pair of those have had problems with the soles falling apart. Saucony is a new brand for me and time will tell if they do the job for my hard-to-fit foot. I do wish they made them in narrow as they are what I really need but seem nearly impossible to find in my size. (11)

Loved the fit of these shoes but do not like how white they are. They only come in white or black. Additional color choices would be great, but sending back due to the bright white color.

Had these shoe B4 in white & they were prefect but, these shoes in blk. were tight for a wide width. So, if you are going to keep theses shoes, better invest in lighter socks to wear with these shoes, a lot lighter sock because you can't wear a heavy or even a reg. weight sock with these shoes. Other then that, lighter socks & you're good to go with these shoes. Still say they look like old lady's shoes or men's shoes. (for women)

I have worn this shoes for at least five years. I wanted an all white shoe for the summer. I tried other (cuter and cooler), but they did not feel as good on my feet as the Saucony. Some had fabric (gets dirty) and others had "fake" leather. These shoes clean up nicely. They provide good support and have plenty of room in the toe box. You might not win any fashion awards, but your feet will thank you for wearing these shoes.

I have severe overpronation and need motion control shoes. Wasn't quite sure about these. They actually feel very supportive and a bit more flexible than most motion control shoes. The strange, hoof-like sole didn't bother me. They fit comfortably around the ankle and have a fair amount of toe room. These are a close runner-up for me but I decided to keep the Brooks Addiction Walker which offered more support.

After reading the reviews I decided to try the Saucony Grid Omni Walker. I need extra padding in the forefoot due to arthritis in my toes and these offer the comfort I need. I have only had them two days but I have been able to walk more then I have for quite some time.

Like these shoes for work.

Overall this is a nice walking shoe. Fit was good, true to size. Unfortunately I had to return them-the upper is so stiff the shoe would not flex with my foot at all making it slip on both heels with every step. If I had worn them for my usual walk I would have had blisters on both heels in a very short period of time.

This wasn't my first choice for a walking shoe but it was the only one available at the time and it was Saucony. I found after walking in them that the right shoe was definitely smaller widthwise than the left. Makes me think that either I have to wear a thinner sock or buy a 1/2 size larger in this shoe. The shoe I really wanted was the Echelon LE, which fit perfectly. Next time I won't settle.

Shoe fits my bony feet. Room in toe box for arthritic great toe. Will buy again.

Zappo's service was quick but the shoes are a little too small. I will be looking for something with a more rounded toe box.

I'm still figuring out if this is the right shoe for my feet. Even if they don't end up being the perfect thing for my high mileage walks, it would be because they're just not a match for me. The shoes are really true to size, unlike so many other styles that seem to have drastically shrunk across different generation. Cushioning is excellent; arch support is good. Styling is what it is, tho even my size 11s don't look (too) huge. The toe box is wide but the outer foot taper curves in a bit tight around my pinky toes... thus the questionable match. Sole is super flexible - not sure that works for me.

I normally wear a 10 1/2 narrow. And 11 medium fits me best in this shoe.

I bought a size 8 and it was seriously comfortable with lots of arch support, I recommend!

I've been wearing these for about 1.5 months now. My walk to the bus is about 11 blocks each way, so they've been getting plenty of "breaking in." The shoes offer some, limited arch support, but not as much as my custom orthotics. The fit is comfortable; snug but supportive. Heels are held and supported well; no pain with these shoes. They're unventilated, so they're warm as toast, sometimes too warm. The leather exterior sheds water and prevents wet feet on rainy walks. The sole looks like it would offer excellent traction, but I'm sad to report it really doesn't. When I walk to the office in the rain, I'm sliding all over the place. Brick pavement in front of the courthouse, slipping and sliding. New, smooth pavement out in front of the coffee joint, slipping and sliding again. Granite steps out in front of the office building, forget it, you'd better hold a handrail or you're going to be medaling in improvised skating. On dry pavement, it's usually fine.

Runs a little large. Comfortable. Thick cushion in the heel area.

I can always rely on Saucony sneakers. After trying several others I went back to the Saucony Walker and it fits me the best. The heel is a little looser than my last pair and hopefully I will get used to that. They are a little snug in the toe but just need to be worn in and stretched a little. Otherwise they are just what I wanted, they are comfortable on my feet and I can wear them all day without discomfort. I ordered white because the multi-colored ones are just a little bright for my tastes.

I normally wear a wide in Saucony but these were too snug. Sole support is good. Am going to try the Echelon to see if it will be "the one". I've worn the Integrity ST2 a few times and they are pretty comfortable, width is perfect, but sole support is not enough. Might be if worn with an orthotic. May try that if the Omni Walker does not work for me.

These shoes would seem comfortable but for my right foot that is plagued with arthritis, unless the padding is super soft and cushioned, I experience discomfort immediately. I have been searching for a replacement for my my favorite - Merrill Spire which are no longer available. Any suggestions out there?

Comfortable but very roomy inside. Almost felt like I needed a half size smaller though I take the bed out and use an orthodic.

I have worn these shoes before. I hope my feet are shrinking. They felt too large. I'm sorry I didn't send them back for one-half size smaller. It has a roomy toe box ideal for damaged toes. In a medium width there's room for your bunions. Usually a "wear out of the box" shoe. It's my mistake, not the manufacturer!

felt good - able to walk without discomfort or need to break in.

Shoe runs tight, not really sold on it though I love Saucony's. Toe room is tight.
