Customer Reviews Saucony Omni ISO 2

I went from a Saucony Onmi to a good Brooks running shoe and was never quite as happy. So, I decided to go back to the Omni and purchased the latest Omni version, the ISO 2. I am very happy. I have a wide foot to begin with but Saucony is good for wide feet and I bought the regular 8, (I wear a 7.5 or 7.5 wide in a regular shoe or sandal depending on the brand. In a running shoe I go a 1/2 size up.) The fit is perfect. The shoe is comfortable without being too soft (as was my Brooks) or too hard and it has a fine arch support. I pronate, so this shoe keeps me balanced. I especially like the way the tongue of the shoe is sewn so that it doesn’t move around when the shoe is tied. I am quite satisfied.

The Saucony Omni ISO 2 is supposed to be a stability shoe but offers no stability. It is soft and cushiony, but no stability. I loved the Omni 16 and wish Saucony would return to making that shoe. That shoe had great support and comfort. I did one run in the ISO 2's and returned them. My feet hurt so much from lack of stability.

First - many thanks to Zappos for their unbeatable return policy that allows running shoes to be tested for 30 days to make sure they work. That's really the only way to know if running shoes are right. Sadly, I have two pair of Asics (purchased elsewhere) in my closet because I didn't realize they were the reason my feet hurt during and after my runs. Saucony Omni ISO 2 are similar to the Omni Pro Grid I wore 10 years ago. But the ISO 2 are lighter and less clunky without sacrificing too much cushioning. They still prevent shin splints which is the main reason this over-pronator wears Saucony. This time around, I tried size 5.5M and 5M. I prefer Narrow but these shoes are unavailable in Narrow. The 5.5M have a very wide toe box and slip in the heel a little, but not so much to cause blisters. With a thicker pair of socks, they fit better so if I keep the 5.5M, they might be ideal for cold weather running. The 5M are a perfect fit. The only concern was whether they might be too short but my first run didn't yield any issues. So far, I think these might be a keeper. Again, many thanks to Zappos for their great return policy and their excellent customer service.

These shoes specifically address serious pronation and stability. The fit will depend on how tightly the wearer laces up the shoes. At first, these seemed too short, but as I adjusted and retied the laces I could feel the shoes conforming to my feet and the arch supports helping my feet stay in place. The interior of the shoes is soft and cushy. The forefoot could use a little more padding, though. By the time I took off the shoes, the length seemed just fine. As with all athletic shoes and sneakers, medium width is a bit too wide for my narrow feet, but these shoes are true to medium width. I'm not a runner, so I can't comment on that use for these shoes. I wore them for several hours with no discomfort at all. (I'm sure the Zappos customer service staff fainted when they read the news! Thank you for all your help.)

I am in my 60's and have had three surgeries on one foot. I have high arches, toes need room, and I pronate badly on one foot so a stability shoe is a necessity. I walk between 2 to 3.5 miles a day. I have had two previous pairs of Saucony's and can walk all day in them if needed. I buy a half size up to fit my orthotics. I have tried other shoes for walking but the Saucony is the only one that is not painful. There is ample padding in the sole and I have plenty of toe room. I chose the denim and peach shoe and feel it looks pretty good. I like the color selection available. Most importantly, this shoe makes my feet happy!

Nice looking shoe but not enough arch support compared to Omni 16. As another reviewer mentioned, more cushion would be nice at the ball of the foot. Returned for the Omni 16 since Zappos got more in my size.

Following up my initial review, the shoe was too wide in the forefoot, and even cinching up the laces over the arch didn't keep my feet from moving back and forth. Saucony Omnis 12 -15 were really good for stability and support. Although the ISO 2 arches seemed okay, and the shoes were supposed to prevent pronation, my arches and ankles were excruciatingly sore after each time I wore these. The shoes seemed to be a good fit at first because they were soft and pillowy and my feet felt cocooned in comfort--until I actually spent a lot of time in them. If you have nice high arches, your ankles don't pronate, and you want a really soft shoe, this might be the one for you.

I was disappointed in these Saucony shoes because I had bought this brand and model 3 times before and they fit perfectly. This pair, however, was shorter and my toe was bumping right up to the edge of the shoe.

Very comfortable from the very first run with no break in period. Fit my Vionic inserts with no problem but they squeak now when I walk. The squeak disappears when I run. I wore New Balance 1260’s until they were discontinued and these are a perfect substitute.

This is for the Saucony Women's Omni Iso 2 Running Shoe Purple shoe. It is the most comfortable running shoe I've worn. It does offer good stability and arch support. A plus is the wide tongue, making this easy to slip my feet in and out of. Another plus is that I'm able to easily put in my custom orthotics. I love the colors and the shoe but do wish the Omni Iso 2 also came in black.

They're very comfortable, however after wearing for 4 days, the tops became all distorted and wrinkled, they don't appear as they'll hold up well. I'm accustomed to NB 1080 series which are extremely sturdy.

I received these for a Christmas gift today (12/15/19), have them on now and they feel very light and soft. At first I thought the cutout for the ankle was to low, but after lacing them in the extra hole, they feel ok. I purchased a 6.5 medium width, the toe box feels plenty wide for a girl who has Fred Flintstone feet LOL. I'm a walker/runner (short distances) and not sure the arch will hold up for me, but putting in supports would help. I would purchase another pair in the future (if Saucony, doesn't fade them out). Do wish Saucony would get a few more wilder colors. I have the blue/teal, the blue is a nice dark blue, teal is ok, not my favorite color, but I love wearing a multi colored shoe.

When the shoe is NOT warped, it is a great shoe for medium stability when you run. The problem is, Saucony makes these shoes and somehow the sole ends up warped (twisted). You can see it when you set the shoes on a flat surface and they don't look even. You can feel it when you run on them, and it forces your legs/knees into an uncomfortable twisted position too. This seems to be a problem with Saucony. I'd double check them before wearing them.

Very comfortable running shoe. In fact, one of the best running shoes I've worn so far. Only problem is what happened to these shoes?? These are still sold on other sites in many sizes but only in 3 sizes few ever wear on Zappos. Hope Zappos is reading this and will add more sizes very soon.

I haven't bought running shoes in a lot of years. The Omni ISO 2 fit just like all the other Sauconys I have purchased in the past.

This is a consistently great shoe.

This show is excellent for runners who pronate. It offers lots of stability and cushioning. Well worth the money!

Super great fit for a bit wider foot. The toe box is ample, which helps when running distance or doing HIIT. I also bought New Balance, and both fit nicely. I loved the purple color, which is fun too.

These are the most comfortable running shoes I've ever worn. I've never worn a Saucony shoe before so I wasn't sure if this would fit but it does. The large tongue makes it easy for me to slide my feet in and the toe box offers ample room without squeezing my toes. With my custom orthotics, the shoes are great for my pronation and do offer excellent stability. I liked these shoes so much I ordered two pairs.

This is one of the most comfortable shoes I've worn. The large tongue makes it easy to get my feet in the shoes. The toe box has ample room without being too wide or narrow. I wear custom orthotics so they help me with pronation and other issues. My only wish is that this was offeredfor women in black and other colors.

I really like the color. The Slate/Pink color looks beautiful. Since it is stability shoes, I don't feel it is comfortable in the midsole area. Maybe break-in time is longer. I bought size 5.5 width B which is narrow for me. I feel my feet are squeezed in the ball area. It hurts.

The color combination was very ugly and strange.
