Full details
The Saucony PROGID Omni 9 U Running Shoes are designed for adult male runners seeking enhanced comfort and reliable performance.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for pronation control?
The PROGID Omni 9 is designed to offer a balance of cushioning and support. While it provides a stable platform, it is not specifically a motion control shoe for severe overpronation. Runners with mild to moderate pronation may find them suitable, but those with significant pronation issues might need a more specialized stability shoe.
How do I know if the UK size 7.5 is the right fit?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should be snug but not constricting. It's recommended to try them on at the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen.
Can these shoes be used for gym workouts?
While the lightweight design and cushioning are beneficial, the shoe's primary design is for running. For gym workouts, especially those involving lateral movements or heavy lifting, a cross-training shoe might offer better stability and support.
What is the expected lifespan of these running shoes?
The lifespan of running shoes typically ranges from 300 to 500 miles (480 to 800 kilometers), depending on your weight, running style, gait, and the surfaces you run on. Regular inspection for wear on the outsole and midsole is recommended.
How does the cushioning compare to other Saucony models?
The PROGID Omni 9 features Saucony's cushioning technology designed for a comfortable ride. It aims to provide a balanced feel, offering noticeable shock absorption without feeling overly soft or mushy, suitable for daily training.
Are these shoes waterproof?
These running shoes are not waterproof. They are designed for breathability, which means they will allow air to circulate but will also let water in. For wet conditions, consider water-resistant or waterproof running shoes.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure laces are loosened before putting on and then tied to a comfortable fit. If still too tight, consider trying a half-size larger or check the fit around the widest part of your foot.
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces
While the outsole provides good traction, extremely slick surfaces can challenge any shoe. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. For significantly wet conditions, run with extra caution.
Discomfort after a short run
Check if the shoes are broken in properly. Wear them for short walks or runs initially. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. If discomfort persists, the shoe may not be the right fit for your foot type or running style.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Designed for adult male runners. While versatile for various running surfaces, they are optimized for road and moderate trail use. They are not intended for highly specialized sports like basketball or weightlifting.
Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
