I always have good luck with Saucony. I have a hard time finding any shoe I can wear comfortably which is why I love Zappos because they are so easy to deal with if something doesn't fit. Anyway, I returned these shoes because I was disappointed in how they looked for the price.

Omni 16 replaced the 15 and I was concerned I wouldn’t like the fit. Overall I’m happy with them. The heel doesn’t chafe but I did notice the toe box and mid foot area are narrower in the new style. It’s not ill fitting but takes a little adjusting. I’ll be keeping them.

I'm 5'6 and 300lbs. I have wide flat feet. These shoes saved my ankles and feet. They were recommended by a shoe store after sizing my feet. And observing my gait. My feet rolled really bad and caused a lot of pain in my fascia. I had pain in my ankles, feet, and even in my shins. Fifteen minutes of walking in the store had me sold. I noticed the correction in my inner ankles right away. The structure of the shoe lifted my foot up and cradled it. I can't even where the unsupported shoes from before. The pain comes back after a few steps. I only wish they made high tops and had a variety of colors

I have worn Saucony Omni for years. Tried the new 16, and had to return it because a new band on the outside left shoe rubbed against my foot. Still giving 4 stars because I have some arthritis there, so I think it might be an individual problem. Love the new everun sole. Very supportive but felt a little lighter which was good. Still great support for overpronation. I really liked the Blue and Gray color.

I like the fit of this shoe but I am disappointed that the fabric covering the heel cushion has already worn through. I have only had the shoes for 3 months.

I have worn Sauconys for years and loved them. This new fit causes my socks to slide down under my heel and is very uncomfortable. I've tried different socks and have the same result. I am sorry to have to return these shoes and move to a different brand of running shoe unless there is a fix for this problem.

I wear a 9 2aa in regular shoes. I ordered a 10.5 narrow in these. Felt wider but nice. The shoe didn't cradle my foot as I like. The shoe has has plenty of room in the toe box. Needed to use all the holes to keep shoe on my foot. Did not keep these as I found one better.

Had the shoes for 2 weeks, so far the support feels good and they are light weight. My old Saucony Hurricanes have a wider toe box and more cushioning. These shoes start to pinch the outer sides of my foot after about a mile, I have spent a lot of time adjusting my laces to create more width. I have never ordered a wide running shoe but had wide been an option I would have given that a try.

Strange new last! Somewhat shorter and narrower than last Omni. Had to exchange for half size larger. Still moves my foot around in a strange way.

I like the 15 much better. I did read that Saucony changed the shoe. I think the length is still ok, but it feels tighter in the toe box and seems tighter in the forefoot area overall. Also, the overlay seemed to dig into my foot a little, and I didn't have that issue with the previous model. I liked the lacing on the 15, as well. I know a lot of people complained about that, but it worked for me. The arch support seems the same, though I admit I only wore them for a few hours after they arrived. I might try an 8.5, but not sure yet. For now, I'm just returning them.

These will be returned, sadly.
The shoe has changed.
VERY boxy and clunky look. Most important, the support for overpronators was GONE IMO! Not supportive enough. Lots of cushiomi9ng but that was not needed and compromised stability IMO

These are narrower in the toebox than the Omni 15. I have a narrow foot and the medium width is a bit tight. I had to buy thin running socks, but they still feel snug. Fine for a couple of miles on a treadmill but probably would be uncomfortable on longer runs where my foot would swell a bit. Bottom line: I wouldn't buy another pair with this profile, and I've been buying them for years.

I’ve worn Saucony to run in for 15 years. This is the first show that feels too short. It is NOT my favorite Saucony. I hope it will stretch out a bit w more use.

I've been wearing the omni for about 5 years and have always loved them. The 16 is not doing it for me. They shoes squeak so loud when I walk- more so on the left foot than the right, and I'm having inner knee pain in my left kneenow. Not sure if the stability changed or what, but I need to go back to the 15 or another previous model. Hopefully switching out of the 16 will ease some knee pain! disappointed, ugg

I have been buying Omnis for years and was excited to try the 16s. They are way too stiff and I am so disappointed. I would buy the 15s if I could but I can't find them anywhere in my size. I really hate when shoe companies try to change a good thing. Go back to the old fit please!

These Omnis are not made like the previous ones. I will exchange for 1/2 size larger and a wide width. Hopefully this will resolve the problem.

I always wear Saucony and the same size. These felt tight in the toes though, not like my others.

Not a bad looking shoe but disappointing in the fit and I am returning it. The back of the heel is not straight and even but dips. This puts pressure on my knees and back.

Love the way they feel while walking around all day. Wish there were more colors to chose from. Only problem I have is the mesh always tears up quickly! I don't do any running in these shoes. I'm a nurse and walk a lot on even clean surfaces.

Love, love, love the Omni 15 in a wide to accommodate my Morton Neuromas. The 16 doesn't work. The cushion and support are different. I hate when a company changes the fit of a model!!!!

I am a moderate over pronator and have been running in Saucony Omni exclusively for many years. Some years I just try some other brands to see if there is anything better. This year I ordered a few, including the Saucony Omni. The others were so cute, I was kind of hopeful I might have a non-clunky running shoe for once. But alas once again the Saucony Omni was by far the most comfortable. I was BUMMED because they are HORRIFIC looking!! Saucony.....who in the world came up with the styling of these?? They look like an orthodic shoe!! I can't do it. They are going back. I just ordered a pair of Hoka's and am hopeful for those. At least they are weird looking in a purposeful way, whereas these Omni's just look like you accidentally wore the shoe box instead of the shoe.
