One of the best shoes I've ever owned. This are very comfortable and easy to wear, not to mention they pair with basically anything, I wear them tk work, to walk, to run to everywhere. The color looks better than the pictures on the website, I would say they're a but darker blue than the pictures. They fit fine, I got size 12 but could've easily gone with 11.5 and feel just as comfortable. I will be replacing this shoes with the next generation, hopefully they don't change them much.
These omni 20 are the to go shoes for my 15 year old son. He is a flat foot. He had a fibula fracture when he was 12 due to wearing the wrong shoes. His orthopedic recommended switching to Brooks, New Balance or Saucony. He tried the Brooks first and the pain continued. So I took him to a running store and they found the Omni Series was the best stable shoe for him and rhe arch was there that he needed. He is in the marching band and thankfully he doesn't experience the pain like he did in the past. I do replace his tennis every 4 months just so he doesn't loose the comfort and durability. I just wish more colors in his size are available.
I was excited about the Omni 20 since the Iso Omni and Omni 19 fell well below Saucony standards in my opinion. Unfortunately, the 20 is too flexible in sole, there is heel slippage (heel counter feels lower) and the laces are cheap and super stretchy. On the plus side, they are finally adding some better color, not great colors, but decent. I still can't figure out why shoe companies make so many changes to what was a good product (Saucony is not the only company guilty of this). The last Omni that I truly loved was the 15, and the Iso 2 was pretty good, but other than that, there has been more disappointment than success. I want to stay loyal to Saucony, but after seven years it may be time to find another shoe brand.
We appreciate your feedback. Thank you!
i just love that these shoes were easy to buy and have the firm heel recommended by my podiatrist (flat feet, overpronation). they're comfortable and offer a lot of support. they go well with my orthotic inserts. i've had a lot of difficulty finding shoes like this at stores so the fact that this was a hole-in-one from the saucony website is a blessing and i hope they still make the exact same shoe for me to re-order when it comes time to replace them.
The fit, cushioning, comfort, offset and medial stability were everything I hoped for. I am disappointed with the lateral stability. Looking at the shoes from above, one can readily see the sole’s flare on the inside of the forefoot, while on the outside there is very little. I compare this to the Kinvara line that I normally wear and there’s a noticeable difference in sole width and balance, which provides superior medial and lateral stability.
I have been purchasing the Omni (wide) for about 6 generations. I'm hard to fit and finally found a shoe that works for me. The Omni 20 however was quite a bit narrower that any of the previous generations. I wanted to size up to see if the next size might fit in version 20 but seemed to be out of stock everywhere so I had to return this pair. I'll try again next year with version 21.
Excellent cushioning, more midfoot support than Omni 19. Overall a much nicer ride than Omni 19. But if you need a wide toebox, order EXTRA wide in Omni 20. I was comfortable in 10.5 regular in the Omni 19 but wanted more room to fit an orthotic. The 10.5 wide Omni 20 has only the same width as regular Omni 19, even without my orthotic. Definitely a narrower toebox design.
I've been running on the Omni for years. Sometimes when a shoe is redesigned, it fails to maintain what kept its loyal following. This is not the case for the Omni 20. I had 2 pairs of Omni Iso 2's and 3 pairs of the 19's and loved them all. I do honestly think the 20 is the best the Omni has ever been. I have flat feet and these keep me running 130+ miles per month.
I see why they consider this one of the best stable shoes. I realize after use that I need more of a neutral; regardless this is still a good shoe and the weight does not seem to be an issue for my training runs. I like the cushion and the neutrality of the Triumph more, but this shoe also fits my foot considerably better than the Triumph as it is more narrow.
I just got these in the mail today and I couldn’t wait to try them out. Took them for a short three mile test run and I was very impressed. They fit like a glove, have great bounce and still have the support I love in the Omni series. These are the only shoe that correct my overpronation. Do yourself a favor and pick a pair up!
Thanks for your feedback and the recommendation!
