Saucony Grid Omni 5 Moderate & Ultimate
From day one, the Omni Moderate and Omni Ultimate have been defined by the protection they provide. Their medial posts and midfoot shanks successfully buttress the floppiest of feet, and their firm midsole/outersole effectively insulates the foot from the pavement. As successful as the Omni 4s were, our wear-testers were surprised to find the Omni 5s to be greatly improved. Advancements include the addition of a large crash pad under the lateral heel, a full-length foam pad under the sockliner, more functional flex grooving, thinner overlays, bunion screens, and a midfoot support strap. Surprisingly, these upgrades are not accompanied by a (justifiable) price increase. Also unchanged is the traditional Saucony fit: slightly wide in the toe and low in the arch.
