I like the Omni and have purchased several different one's over the past few years. I don't know who though up sewing the tongue to the side of the shoe, but that style change needs to be done away with. Not only does it not make sense, it makes putting the shoe on much harder and almost impossible to put an orthodic in.

I love Saucony and comfort of the Omni in general but I have bought size 10 before and this Omni 16 felt at least 1/2 size smaller. Also, this was only color in my size. This mixture of light grey and bright blue was not attractive so for both reasons returning.

These shoes were marked on the tongue as size US 9.5 but were the same size as the pair of US 9 Saucony Omni 15s that I want to replace. Maybe it's a simple mislabelling. They have to go back.

I wear an 8W, and Omni 16 is shorter than Omni 15. The right shoe fit, but my left foot is bigger making the left shoe too short.Very disappointed, as Omni 15 was the one and only sneaker I could wear.

I really loved the Omni 14. The Omni 16 not so much. They just are comfortable. So glad you had a size 12, but back they go!

I’ve used the saucony Omni as my go to running shoe for years and this shoe is just different, not in a good way. The front part of the shoe is more narrow than in the past, leaving my feet feeling numb after the first couple uses. Hoping the stretch out a little, but I’ve never had this problem with this style shoe on the past. The laces are also poorly made- they seem like they are fraying after only a couple uses. They’re cute though ?????.

I've been wearing Saucony running shoes for years, but this is the weirdest pair I've ever tried. The middle/back end of the shoe (the darker color) fit like any normal Saucony I've had. The front end (the grey part) looks like the material is an entirely different shoe, almost like canvas, and feels insanely large and unsupportive and looked really low quality. I am not even sure what to make of the shoe, but definitely am returning it.

These run large. I like a wide toebox, but these exaggerate so that your foot is constantly slipping, causing calluses. And the metatarsal and heel support is inadequate.

I have worn these shoes for years and love them. However, this updated model design (Omni 16) does not feel as comfortable or as supportive as past models. Sadly need to return and find something else.

So I ordered these shoes at the same time I ordered a pair of Brooks Ariel. I wound up loving the Ariel so much I wore those almost exclusively, never really trying these out for a few months. Then I discovered that my orthotics make these shoes much too tight, but without an insert there is really no support to speak of. I can't believe these cost more than the Ariel either; the Ariel is much, much sturdier, somehow roomier inside while also holding my foot in place better. Finally, and I know it's petty, but I think these are just ugly. Maybe if I had found them in a better color; but the silver and blue is not my thing. I just ultimately don't think these are worth the price.

I had the Omni 14s, 15s, and now 16s. With the 14s and 15s I felt like I was running on a cloud! I ran multiple 1/2 marathons in both. However with the 16s I've had them for almost 3 months now and my feet become numb almost every time I wear them. I've never experienced feet problems before but my feet kill after running just a few miles in these. I've been trying to find the 15s but can't find them in my size anywhere.

I've had multiple Saucony Omni shoes and other styles os Saucony as well. No really these are super narrow. I have a medium to wide feet but the medium shoes were always perfect. I've even put them side by side with other models of the exact same size and they are indeed narrow. I wish I returned them but thought I could wear them. Though the toe area is smaller it didn't bother me so much as the middle section was too tight even with loosening the shoe laces. They're disappointing. The quality is still there. It's just strange that these shoes are a different fit since for years the fit has been consistent. I bought a different style just a month before these and they fit perfect at the exact same size. It's like buying a totally different brand with their own size differences. If you have the type of feet that's between medium to wide like mine and Saucony medium are typically perfect, I'd suggest getting wide this time.

I've been a faithful Omni-wearing runner for the past 15 years. They were perfect for my feet. I felt like I was running without shoes. Wearing the previous versions of these shoes changed my "running-life". I was able to run pain free, with no rubbing on my feet, and completely even wear on the the shoes. Not anymore. My feet were hurting within seconds. The bottom felt entirely too stiff, and changed the way I landed in an uncomfortable way. The changes pretty much ruined the shoe for me. I am so sad!

Poor construction. I like to wear shoes without socks sometimes, and after minimal use the back of my ankle had rubbed through the minimal padding, exposing the plastic on the whole rear of the shoe. Also got weird blisters on the side of one foot. These shoes are painful at this point.

I have always loved this brand, but when I opened the box I was extremely disappointed. I could not get past how CHEAP they looked. I have a pair of Omni 15s which I love, but the mesh is separating on the sides of the shoes. Sure mesh is breathable, but it does NOT hold up. Unfortunately, most brands have gone to this style. Also, no more WHITE soles PLEASE. It's hard to find shoes with gray or black soles.

I ended up ordering Asics Gel Venture 6. Will see how these hold up.

I usually wear an 8 1/2 in Saucony and ordered as such, but I could barely get my foot into these.

Please Saucony stop changing this shoe! When I began wearing this particular shoe it was life changing and I have been a loyal customer and only wore this shoe. However they have been changing them - and the quality has gone down and they are no longer the same shoe it started out as. Those who depend on the stability of this shoe and are loyal to it appreciate different colors and improvements. What we don't appreciate is making the shoe "cheaper" and to look like competitors shoes or something that a teen would want. Please go back to the roots of this shoes intention- stabilization!!

As shoe companies insist on updating shoes every year, just like cars, I tried this shoe looking for a stable shoe. The sides of this shoe are cut so low that they feel like they will slip off. No support near the ankle or behind the heel. Returned them.

I have been buying the Omni for about 8 years, usually 2 pairs at a time. I usually canput them on and run without breaking in. These felt longer when lacing up, tight in the toe box and do not have the cushion that I'm used to in the Omni. The felt stiff and flat when I tried them to walk or run. I'm so so disappointed as I have a race in 4 weeks.

I have an Omni 14 shoe and love them but the Omni 16 are at least a half size smaller if not a whole size smaller. Just holding the shoes next to my Omni 14 pair the length difference is noticeable. How disappointing.

I have run in the Guide for years. I am getting older and wanted a shoe with a little more cushioning. I went to my local shoe store and was fitted with the Omni. I have run in them several times and the heels slip the whole time I am running, I have tried relacing them but it didn't help. I am so disappointed because I spent a lot of money on them and cannot return them.

I have worn a 10.5 M in Saucony OMNI shoes for years and have loved them until I bought the OMNI 16. The 10.5 M were too narrow in the toe box so I bought the 10.5 W. At first they were OK and now that I have been wearing them they are too wide and feel sloppy. I am very disappointed and have to find shoes that fit.

I have been a Saucony Omni loyalist for years. I was very disappointed in the Omni 16 I bought on line recently. It was stiff and awkward. Also the toe box felt tight. I am unable to run in them. I won't even wear them to walk in. A waste of money. Wished I returned them when I still had the box and shipping label.
