Saucony Omni 9 Men: an archive of stability for city wear

Reissue of a stability running shoe, the Saucony Omni 9 men's combines ProGrid cushioning with a wide and stable platform. Its mesh, suede, and leather upper, with overlays on the top of the foot, gives it a technical look that can be worn with jeans or cargo trousers.

The legacy of the stability range

The Omni has long been Saucony's stability shoe, designed for runners whose feet tend to roll inwards. The ninth version, the Omni 9, combined comfort and support on a wide platform.

Reissued for the city, it retains the original design with higher quality materials, refined mesh, suede, and leather.

Underfoot: ProGrid and wide platform

The ProGrid cushioning, unique to Saucony, absorbs shocks at the heel and provides a smooth stride. The wider platform gives a stable base, making walking comfortable over long distances.

The rubber outsole grips well on both dry and wet roads.

The size

Take your usual size from Saucony. The Omni 9 wraps well around the collar and tongue, keeping the foot secure.

If you wear thick socks or have wide forefoot, going half a size up provides extra comfort. The product sheet guide gives the exact sizing match.

Men's colour options

Grey and black are the easiest to integrate into a men's wardrobe: they show little wear and go well with denim and dark tones. The Saucony Omni 9 in grey for men maintains a successful technical look.

More colourful versions, like pink, salmon, or orange, are for those who want a shoe that stands out.

What to wear it with?

Straight raw denim: a simple bottom for a heavily designed shoe.
Baggy cargo pants: for a utilitarian style.
Sport shorts and socks: the running spirit in summer.
Jogging pants: for the weekend.

A pair of trousers that are too tight accentuates the bulk of the shoe: opt for a straight-cut style.

The Omni 9 in winter

In dry weather, the Omni 9 carries you through winter with a thick sock and some canvas or corduroy trousers. In the rain, its mesh lets water in: save it for dry days and protect the suede with a waterproofing spray.

Omni 9 or Mizuno Wave Prophecy?

The Wave Prophecy from Mizuno has an even more technical silhouette, with its visible wavy sole. The Omni 9 remains more classic in its lines and is easier to wear daily.

Check out the Mizuno Wave Prophecy if you are looking for a more radical design.

Omni 9 or Ride Millennium?

The Ride Millennium comes from a neutral range, lighter and slimmer. The Omni 9, coming from stability, offers more support.

Compare with the Saucony Ride Millennium for men.

For walking, travelling, and standing work

Its wide base makes it a good shoe for standing all day or long walks in the city. It keeps the foot stable and limits fatigue by the end of the day.

For regular running, opt for a current running model, which is lighter.

A sneaker for standing days

Salespersons, caregivers, event professionals: those who spend their days on their feet appreciate shoes that keep the foot stable. The Omni 9 for men, with its widened sole and heel cushioning, reduces fatigue over long hours.

For this type of use, alternate between two pairs to give each time to dry, and replace the insoles when they become compressed.

Care

The mesh can be cleaned with warm soapy water and a soft brush, while the suede should be brushed dry and protected before its first outing. Air dry, away from radiators, and never use a washing machine.
