Loyal Saucony wearer here. I've been buying at least 2 pair per year in 8.5 Wide for over a decade and have quite a collection of stability/support shoes in the Omni, Guide, and (now discontinued) Hurricane lines. This lovely shade of blue has been conspicuously absent for years and I was delighted to see it. But the shoe is cut significantly narrower than all the others. I could barely get into it even without my orthotics, which fit perfectly in all my other shoes and are wider than the foot bed of the Omni 21. Huge disappointment. I had to switch brands to get an 8.5 Wide that fits correctly. I hope Saucony addresses this and fixes it ... fast.

Used to wear Omni shoes for years. I was trying to replace an older model. This shoes and Omni 20 is too narrow. It is making my foot pronate even more as it is not sitting deep enough in the shoe. Please Saucony use the width in prior "teen numbered" models.

I have worn these shoes for several years and I always really liked them. But I'm a doctor and I got persuaded by the hype and my coworkers to try HOKA's. I have acquired a new appreciation for may Omni's. Not only do I like them SOOO much better than my now relegated to yard work HOKA's, they are much more reasonably priced.

I have been wearing the Omni for more years that I can count. I purchase 2-3 pairs a year. This last pair definitely runs smaller. I have very narrow feet and the toe box is tight. I should have gotten the wide in this year's shoe. Otherwise it's the shoe that works best for me .

I love the color and the comfort once I got past the "break in" of them. For this shoe to labeled as a WIDE, I had a little trouble getting the shoe on my left foot(it's wider than the right, which is why I buy a wide). I've had these right at a month and they a comfortable now and I have good support for my knees and hips. I bought these instead of the Guide because I've had the Guide and wanted to try the more cushioned version of support Saucony. I like them, but they are not a true wide.

My new Saucony running shoes are as awesome as always. I've been wearing Saucony for about 15 years. My feel are slightly wide and Saucony has always been perfect for me. The width on this newest version is still roomy enough from first wearing. The length however seems to be a bit longer than previously. I ordered my usual size 8 and while they are fine, I wish I tried on a 7.5 to compare sizes, because there's extra room in front of my big toes. That at said, I'm still very happy with my purchase and I would recommend them to anyone.

Runs NarrowRuns Wide
Poor SupportGreat Support
I have been a loyal Saucony Omni wearer for the past 20 years. The last Omni model that had a wide enough toe box, and support for over-pronation, was the Omni 15. Subsequent models, the 16, the 20 and 21 have a more narrow toe box, and not quite as much support for over-pronation. I am a 6 1/2 B with narrow heels and wear orthotics. I tried the 7W to hoping to find a good fit because some reviewers wrote that even the W was too narrow. I liked the cushion (not too squishy), and the toe box felt good, but overall the W was too wide for me. Saucony lost their way some time ago, and I am done trying. I will be looking at Brooks going forward.

The Omni has been my go to workout shoe for at least 10 years until the 20 came out with the much narrower toe box. I'd heard the 21 was a bit roomier so was really hoping that Saucony listened to customers and went back to the the fit they'd had prior to the 20. Sadly, the toe box is still way too snug for me so these are going back.

I've worn Saucony's religiously for over 10 years. I loved the stability, narrow heel and wide toe box. However the 21(as well as the 20). No longer have a wide toe box and whole shoe much too narrow.

The medium width was too narrow. I have owned many pair of saucony sneakers and have never had this problem before. Had to return them.

Too much support for me. I'm sure these could be good for someone who needs a stiffer shoe but I ended up returning them and got some great advice from customer service as to what shoe might suit my needs better.

I have worn past versions of the Omni and this shoe feels so different from the 19. I can't run in these shoes. Each time I have run in them I have pain. I was really hoping these would be my shoes for next training cycle but unfortunately the search continues

Nurse approved! These shoes are not getting the credit they deserve. 12 hour shifts back to back and my feet cannot tell it. I have been a loyal hoka nurse and these converted me!

I have purchased the Hurricane style for years. I am a walker and walk fast paced approximately 15-20 miles a week, year round. In the last few years Saucony has discontinued the Hurricane and produced the Omni as a pronator replacement. The original Omni was very odd. Very wide toed, very light weight and with minimal foot padding. The sole was thick and wide. The Hurricane model has always been comfortable, well padded and with an appropriate toe box. I REALLY didn't like the Omni but since I had tried to like them and worn them a few times, they were not returnable. I kept them and tried to like them, as Saucony has always been the brand that fits me best. This year I needed a new pair of walking shoes. I decided the brand I have known was better then switching brands and ordered a new pair of Omni's. The new pair is " almost" the same as the original Hurricane. This should be fabulous however they made the toe box narrow and less comfortable. Saucony, why did you mess with a good thing?? I will be changing brands for my next purchase. Loved my Hurricanes.

Unfortunately the design has changed in the last 2 years and after loving this shoe for many years I can no longer wear them. I'm very disappointed!

Stop putting posts on the lateral side! I was told by my doctor that I need a stability shoe because I have very weak, painful ankles that roll in easily. This is supposed to be a stability show but NB added a lateral post. If you are going to make a shoe for supinators to prevent them from supinating, make a separate shoe. But a stability shoe should only have a medial post to prevent excess dangerous pronation. It's proven that adding posts to both sides makes a shoe less stable.

This is my 3rd pair of these shoes. I have a connective tissue disorder that causes me to have collapsible arches as well as loose joints. This requires me to wear shoes that offer support and stability. On top of that, I have somewhat narrow feet. This particular style fits the bill on all accounts. I find them comfortable enough for all day wear. I would recommend them to anyone.

I'm glad I ordered the Omni 21 when I ordered the Tempus. The Tempus was unsuccessful, but the Omni is so good I've already ordered a second pair. They are comfortably cushioned, wide enough for my repaired broken ankle to fit easily, easy to get on (I must have shoes on to walk per doctor), easy to fit with laces. All around very comfortable and very pleased.

I bought these shoes about a month ago. The first pair I got was a medium width which was too narrow, so I exchanged the shoes for a wide width. That's the first time I've ever had to do that with Saucony. The shoes fit great and are comfortable from the beginning. No breaking in! Still a Saucony fan!
