Customer Reviews Saucony Omni 19

Please, please, please, take a cue from Brooks, Mizuno, Asics and others and get some better colors for Saucony's, especially the Omni line.

I have been running in Omnis since at least 2012. I have loved most of them, in that time I have probably had 9 pair. They were originally recommended to me at my local running store since I pronate. They were always great and comfortable, until the last two pairs. I had a pair of the first ISOs and now these 19's that seem like they are now constructed narrower?? And not just a little bit, they are more narrow enough to be uncomfortable. Unfortunately I tried these on a few too many runs to see if they would loosen a bit, so I will be keeping them. But my next pair, I will be researching alternatives in stability shoes.

I've been going through the 4-5 pairs of Omnis per year for a decade now. They are usually my go-to long mileage shoe. I recently switched from the Omni ISO 2 to the 19 and they are not as good as they were. Construction is not quite as sturdy and the new foam has less bounce. Not the worst shoe, but the ISOs were the best of the Omni models.

I have purchased more Saucony Omni pairs than I can remember and have always loved them. I knew by purchasing them that I would have a great support and long lasting shoes, but unfortunately this pair has been an awful downgrade. These definitely do not feel as supportive as my previous pairs of Sauconys. From the first use, these annoyingly pull down the backs of my socks probably because the back lip of the shoe feels shorter than previous models. The back interior of the shoes are already wearing out and causing painful blisters only a month and a half after regular use (about 10,000 steps a day). Within the first week I noticed pain on the middle outer section of my feet from lack of support. Disappointed and bummed for the price that they've been nothing but painful and annoying to wear. My last pair of Sauconys lasted 8 months for comparison.

ABSOLUTE JUNK!!!! Simply the worst shoes I have ever bought! Wiped my knees out after only 2 weeks. Had to go to Nike REACT to heal them up!

I bought this pair maybe 5 months ago. Because of an arthritic hip I mainly walk instead of jog. I was maybe putting on 20 to 25 miles a week walking on a combination of asphalt and concrete trails. Noticed a couple of weeks ago the sole was wearing away on my left shoe but not the right. Is 20 to 25 miles a week more than a pair of saucony shoes can handle. Doesn't seem like that should be the case.

For being an avid Saucony customer for the last five years, that ended with the new Saucony Omni 19 model which replaced the Omni ISO 2 in the last year. The new Omni 19 shoes drastically changed, which include an uncomfortable elevated area where the ball of your feet is located in comparison to the ISO 2's. Since switching brands was not an option (at the time), I experimented with the following: The Triumph 19, Guide 14, and Hurricane 23 models. Each of them has great support and cushioning, yet they all felt similar to the Omni 19. As a lab courier from Detroit, walking the long hospital halls during a workday calls for comfort on demand, and the ISO 2's were clearly the most comfortable pair of shoes that I've ever owned. I had even tried other shoe brands and finally came to the conclusion, why not buy a new old stock pair and wear them for another year or so. In the meantime, maybe they'll design a newer model next year with the exact design as the former Omni ISO 2. Wishful thinking? Please bring them back. Thank you

Trys to take off your socks which hasn't been a problem in the past. I have bought the same model shoe for the past 4 years and this year there is an extra lip on the back of the shoe compared to a flatter rounded lip. Even trys to take off taller socks.
