Customer Reviews Saucony Grid Omni Walker

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.

Comfy and subtly colored. Style-wise totally not cool. But perfect for walking and for non-fashion conscious middle aged woman.

I ordered this Saucony walker in my usual 6AA size. This Saucony style is at least 1/2 a size larger & wider than the other Saucony style walker, the Progrid Integrity ST2. The side of the ankle is too high & rubs my ankle bone. The toe box was also much too roomy. It's just a bigger shoe all around. The pros of this shoe are that the shoe has great support & is very well made. If it fits, then it's a great shoe. I sent these back & reordered my usual Saucony style, the Progrid Integrity ST2 that I have always worn.

Saucony is a great shoe but I needed a little more room in the toe box than these provided. Otherwise, they are true to size

After finding out that New balance changed there shoe, I needed to find a walking shoe fast. I tried Easy Spirit and about a month or so into the shoe the plether on the right shoe cracked and after a good rain with puddles, I would step in a puddle and my sock got wet. So when I went looking in the stores no one had my size 8.5 wide. Zappos took me through the Saucony Grid Omni Walker. I have flat feet so I have wear orthodics. I took out the insert that came with the shoe (easy peezy) and put in my orthodics and they work great in this shoe! I love it, it is a bit big but it makes up for it in arch support. I would definitely recommend this shoe to avid walkers and/or healthcare staff who are on their feet all day. A wonderful shoe, which you can't find in a store.

I have two pairs of this shoe (one white and one black) that I absolutely love. They are comfortable and offer a lot of support. However, I have not been successful in purchasing another pair because the sizing is inconsistent. I normally wear 11.5, but have found on two occasions that the 11.5 was too large but the 11 was too small. The style has changed slightly since last year, and I suspect that Saucony has changed manufacturers. I wish Saucony would be more consistent with styling and sizing.

This isn't a bad shoe. It's got plenty of support for pronators, but it's just too wide and there is something weird about the last. It just doesn't hit my arch correctly. Probably fine for someone else. My size is 10.5 N. Fit more like a 10.5 M.
