I have had the Saucony ProGrid Omni 7 Running Trainers now for the last couple of years, having replaced them about 3 times.
I love them – they have been long wearing, light and cushioning. I have run about 25 miles per week in them and they have been great on the road for both long runs and interval work. And now I would highly recommend them.
There is now the Saucony ProGrid Omni 8 Running Shoe available – but is it worth the extra premium for being a new shoe? For me no – I’ll stick with this one and have in fact just ordered a new pair.
From the Saucony website, the technical blurb reads as below- and it is a rather technical breakdown. What it means for me is that as I said above, it is a comfy show, good in the dry and wet, for races and training and at this price is a bargain!
The shoe is also designed for the moderate over pronator – which is about 70% of the running population. So chances are this will be a good shoe for you – you will just need to check with your local running store about your pronation if you don’t already know.
