The Perfect Training Shoe
I've been using Saucony Speed 2s for my fast runs, but I prefer something a little more comfy for my slow/medium runs. The Omni 20s are my favorite for such chores. They are comfortable, have great cushioning and have a pliable sole. The toebox is much more comfortable for us wide-footers and by going up 1/2 size I had no trouble using my orthotic inserts I need to prevent overpronation. I'm sure I can get 500 miles out of these. I'll likely order another pair for when these wear out. I always purchase shoes that are few editions behind to save money. Shoe technology is advancing slowly, but being on the cutting edge costs too much for what you get. My days of spending $150 for a trainer are over.Update: 11/5/23 - I have 6 months on these and I average 25 mpw. I use a stiff orthotic insert because of flat feet, which negates any benefits of a light shoe. After 6 months on these outer heel wear shows I'm not underpronating a bit so the orthotics may need to be tamed a bit. But after 500 miles I can't complain about the shoes. I don't race in them but for a solid street shoe they're awesome. I'll retire these this month and replace them with the same model. $70 for a good everyday trainer is good value. No signs of wear other than the heel, no delamination, and the uppers still look brand new.

Love them.
Got these on sale for about $60. Awesome price for last years high end pronation shoe. They fit awesome with good room in the toe box, feel great when jogging, and look pretty good in person. In general I love Saucony, they are sometimes underrated, but they do make a durable and very functional running shoe. I have been through a few pairs over the years, and all have performed well. I waited to write this review for a while. I currently run around 10-20 miles per week training for a half-marathon. I have at least 125 miles on these shoes currently. They are holding up very well, just slight wear on the sole from normal road use. I'm sure to get at least another 150 - 200 miles out of these shoes, possibly more. They help somewhat with my posterior tibial tendonopathy (inner ankle pain), but are very cushy for long runs. Would definitely buy again.

Great walking and light workout shoes / not for a serious runner / see insert info
After 2 years of use, I really like these shoes: nice deep blue color, good support, comfortable, fit well, true to size.I wear these shoes for general walking around and light gym workouts and 5 min on the treadmill. The shoes are fine for these general purposes. I’m not a runner but I think these shoes would not last long for runners bec they have a simple construction.I highly recommend Feel Life inserts here on Amazon: Plantar Fasciitis Relief Shoe Insoles [1-Pair], Arch Support Insoles, Running Athletic Gel Shoe Inserts.Feel Life insert price is around $25 (March 2024) and well worth the investment for proper support for your feet.These are great shoe inserts, very good support in all areas, just enough arch support. I searched forever to find a thick insert w/ lots of cushion (but not spongy) and finally found these - exactly what I wanted.Be advised, they are thick and sturdy inserts with hard plastic band on the bottom near the arch:1/2 inch thick at heelslightly less than 1/2 inch thick at arch1/4 inch thick at toe.So I need to buy shoes 1/2 size larger (mens USA size 9) than my normal size (8.5) to accommodate these inserts. For me, that combo works perfectly, shoes feel secure but not tight with room for adjustment by tying the shoe strings a little loose or a little tight. I like the extra room in the toe box with size 9. My size 9 shoes do not slide around bec inserts fill the extra space.Allow 1-2 wks of daily wear for new shoes to break in, expand slightly, loosen to fit your feet well.I now realize that almost all inserts are thin (much thinner than these Feel Life inserts) so they will fit the same shoe size a person normally wears. So if you wanna keep your normal shoe size, don't buy Feel Life inserts, buy thin inserts.

Basically a good shoe
Saucony has always been a very good made in America shoe. I had switched brands because of a different need. Noticed a sale on this shoe. It is now made in Vietnam but it is well constructed but sizing runs larger.Over all comfortable but sock are required because of sizing.A good buy

Excellent shoe at great price
Terrific shoe at a good price. These were selling for $160 at my local running store so I'm very happy to get them on Amazon at a much lower price. Just bought my third pair of these Sauconys and I'll keep buying them as long as they keep making them. It's a wonderfully comfortable shoe for walking and running. I'm going to be walking over 400 miles on the Camino de Santiago in Spain this summer and bought a new pair of these shoes for that hike. Could have chosen a lot of other running or hiking shoes, but these are my favorite.
