FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
While the Progrid Omni 9 has running heritage, it is best suited for daily wear and light activity due to the weight of the construction compared to modern racing shoes.
Is the material real leather?
Yes, the construction incorporates high-quality leather overlays to ensure durability and aesthetic authenticity.
How do I know if the size is correct?
You should have approximately a thumb-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe while standing.
Can I replace the insoles with custom orthotics?
Yes, the existing insoles are removable, making them compatible with most third-party orthotic inserts.
Is this a unisex model?
The Progrid Omni 9 is listed as a unisex trainer, covering a wide range of adult UK sizing.
What is the primary benefit of Progrid technology?
Progrid technology is designed to provide consistent cushioning and impact absorption across the entire foot strike.
Troubleshooting
Leather appearing scuffed after use
Use a matching black leather conditioner or polish to buff out light scuffs and restore the finish.
Feeling too tight around the midfoot
Loosen the lacing system throughout the eyelets, avoiding the 'runner's loop' if you have a higher instep.
Insole sliding during wear
Remove the insole, clean any debris from the footbed, and ensure the insole is seated perfectly flat before re-inserting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Saucony Progrid Omni 9 trainers maintain their condition, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These trainers follow standard UK adult sizing; choose your regular size for a secure fit.
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, allow 2-3 days of regular wear for the leather to soften to your specific foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt. For leather sections, apply a specialized leather cleaner with a damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather and foam midsole to degrade prematurely.
- Lacing: Utilize the top eyelet if you require a more secure lockdown around the ankle for added stability.
