Saucony Omni 9 women's: the comfort of a stability running shoe

A stability running shoe

Originally, the Omni 9 was aimed at runners looking for comfort without sacrificing support. Its wide and stable sole helped limit foot rolling inwards, which is common on long runs.

Revamped with updated materials, it has moved from the track to the pavement: it is now worn in the city without losing any of its original stability.

What's underfoot

• ProGrid cushioning: the cushioning technology from Saucony, which absorbs impact at the heel.
• Wide platform: it stabilises the foot and provides a secure footing.
• Mesh upper: a breathable fabric that wicks away heat for when you're doing a lot of walking.
• Suedes and leather patches: placed on the mesh, they reinforce the shoe and give it a vintage look.

What shoe size to choose?

When it comes to sizing, no surprises: your usual size in Saucony should fit in most cases. The cushioned collar and the thickness of the tongue provide good support for a slim foot.

The colours of the women's Omni 9

The Saucony Omni 9 women's white and grey remains the easiest to wear: it brightens up an outfit and goes with everything. The pink, salmon, or orange versions add a splash of colour to a plain outfit.

The rarer blue and green tones become the highlight of a pair of jeans and a white t-shirt.

How to wear the Omni 9?

Its very technical profile calls for simple bottoms: straight or wide jeans, joggers, or a mid-length knitted skirt. A slight roll at the hem of the jeans shows off the shoe and slims the ankle.

Visible white tennis socks emphasise its sporty origins; hidden ankle socks make it more minimalistic.

A sneaker for walking all day

The wide platform of the Omni 9 makes walking stable and comfortable, even after several hours. Sightseeing, travel, daily walking to work: that's when it proves most useful.

If you run several times a week, consider a more recent model with lighter cushioning.

Omni 9 or Ride Millennium?

Both are reissues from Saucony, but the Omni 9 comes from the stability range, while the Ride Millennium is from a neutral range. The Omni 9 offers more support, while the Ride Millennium has a slightly sleeker silhouette.

Omni 9 or Asics Gel-1130?

The Gel-1130 from Asics plays the retro running card, with more metallic highlights. The Omni 9 focuses more on its suedes and colours, keeping it a bit softer.

Both share a stable construction and real walking comfort.

Maintaining your Omni 9

For the mesh, a first pass with a dry brush removes dust; a stain can be taken care of with a bit of soap diluted in warm water. The suede should never get wet: use a rubber or special brush, and a protective spray before wearing it.

The drum of the washing machine can damage the glue and the suede: dry it flat, away from the radiator.

The Omni 9 on the go

For a city stay, the Omni 9 is one of those pairs that easily slip into your suitcase. Its wide platform makes long days of visiting comfortable, even on cobblestones, while its mesh keeps your foot cool when it's hot. Paired with a simple outfit, it transitions from museum to restaurant without a hitch.

Bring a spare pair of socks and a fabric bag to store it: the suede doesn’t like to be crushed against other shoes.

A sneaker that ages well

With its suede and leather patches, the Omni 9 develops a bit of patina over the months without losing its shape. Regular brushing and a waterproofing treatment are enough to keep it looking good. Replace the laces when they wear out: a new pair freshens up the whole shoe.
