Saucony Omni 22

A traditional moderate-stability workhorse using firm PWRRUN foam and a HOLLOW-TECH support unit: durable, planted, and smooth, but short on energy return. A sensible pick for overpronators and flat-footed runners who want structured support at a fair price. Runners chasing a lively or plush ride should look elsewhere.
