Saucony Omni 12 Reviews

Runners wearing the Saucony Omni 12 find the support to be great for a stability shoe even on uneven terrain. There is more room on the forefoot and the heel is much firmer. The weight of the shoe is noticeably lighter.

Some runners also find the Saucony Omni 12 a good shoe for those with bunions.

However, runners fid the sizing not too accurate. They had a better fit when they wear a half size bigger with the Omni 12.  Hope they make the fit better on the Saucony Omni 13 on 2014.
