Full details

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Progrid Omni 9 features a traditional lacing system that allows for some adjustability. However, whether they are suitable for wide feet depends on individual foot shape and the specific width of the shoe. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consult size guides.
What is the primary benefit of the synthetic upper?
The synthetic upper provides a combination of lightweight comfort, good ventilation to keep feet cool, and abrasion resistance for increased durability.
Can I wear these for marathon running?
While the Progrid Omni 9 offers stability and comfort, it's primarily designed as a versatile trainer suitable for everyday wear and shorter to mid-distance runs. For marathon distances, runners often seek shoes with more advanced cushioning and specific long-distance features.
How does the 'Black Silver' color scheme complement the shoe?
The "Black Silver" colorway is a classic and versatile choice. Black provides a sleek base, while silver accents add a subtle detail, making the shoe easy to pair with both athletic gear and casual outfits.
What does 'Progrid' refer to in the shoe's name?
Progrid is a technology developed by Saucony that typically refers to their cushioning and stability systems designed to provide a smooth ride and impact absorption.
How often should I replace my Saucony Progrid Omni 9 trainers?
For running purposes, it's generally recommended to replace trainers every 300-500 miles (480-800 km), or when you notice a significant decrease in cushioning or support. For casual wear, they will last longer depending on usage.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Adjust the traditional lacing system to provide more or less tension across different parts of the foot. Ensure you have selected the correct size, as fit is crucial for comfort.
Reduced cushioning or support over time
While designed for durability, the midsole cushioning will naturally wear down with extensive use. For optimal performance and comfort, consider replacing shoes after significant mileage or when support feels diminished.
Synthetic upper appears scuffed or dirty
Use a slightly damp cloth to gently wipe away surface dirt. For more stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a clean damp cloth. Ensure to dry thoroughly.
