I “road-tested” and then bought a pair of women’s Saucony Pro Grid Omni 8 running shoes today. My first pair of Saucony shoes.I put them to the test with a run this afternoon and my feet, hips and lower back love them! The extra bit of cushioning is wonderful and the support for my 58 year old, high arch pronating feet is ideal. These are the best pair of shoes I’ve ever owned. I bought them at Runner’s Soul in Spokane, WA.

This is an excellent running shoe! Fourteen years ago, when I was in high school, I had an awesome fitting pair of Saucony’s. I’ve tried several times over the years to find a Saucony shoe I liked – no luck….until I tried the Omni 8.

For the support & stability the shoe provides, it is surprisingly lightweight. An important thing to me in a running shoe is the flexibility of the toe – and this shoe fits the bill =) I highly recommend this shoe for mild to moderate overpronaters. I ordered the same size I usually wear for running shoes, fit perfectly. (Nike is the only shoe I have to size up – half a size).

I have Plantar Fasciitis in one foot – it did not bother me at all when running in these shoes!

Just to clarify things, I am not a runner and only recently started a walking and exercise program. Due to problems with extremely low arches and plantar fasciitis, I had difficulty finding a comfortable sneaker with good arch support. After some research I chose this particular sneaker and am very happy I did. It’s got the support and cushioning I need in the arch and heel, but is lightweight enough for me to wear through exercise and beyond. Ran small for me though, had to order full size up.
