My husband has recently entered the running world (for about 2 years) and has tried rather unsuccessfully to find a good fit. The Saucony pro-grid 5 felt good until he ran in it; then it made his small toes go numb! The Omni is the right fit for him--it doesn't break down as quickly as his Asics, doesn't make his small toe/outside of his foot go numb, and is both comfortable and stabilizing. His knees aren't bothering him like they do in neutral shoes. There are shoes that are over double this price but would still need to be replaced every 500 miles, so this one is "the one" for him!
