The Grivet Take
The Omni 22 is Saucony's traditional medial-post stability shoe — old-school structured support for runners who specifically want a firmer corrective feel. Updated HOLLOW-TECH guidance system in the heel, PWRRUN+ foam, 8mm drop, and B/D widths in women's. Best for runners who liked the old-school stability feel and customers needing extra-secure heel lockdown. Skip it for tempo or modern non-posted stability; the Omni is structured and corrective, not gentle and guiding. Customers who tried the Hurricane or Guide and found them not enough should land here.

Support
Support TypeSupport Type describes how much built-in guidance the shoe has. Neutral shoes do not add support structure. Stability shoes use geometry, rails, firmer foam, or frame designs to create a more guided feel. Motion control shoes are the maximum-support category and are rare in modern running.

Standard platform
How it fits
Fits true to size with a traditional Saucony last. Standard width fits narrow-to-medium feet best; wide-footed runners should pick the D. Heel hold is excellent thanks to the secured heel cup and HOLLOW-TECH guidance system. Available in Standard (B) and Wide (D) for women's.
How it feels
Cushion is moderate-high; PWRRUN+ foam reads soft enough for daily mileage but the medial post adds a firm corrective feel underfoot, especially under the arch. Smooth ride for steady-state efforts; the geometry isn't tuned for speed work or pace changes. Best at easy and steady-state pace up through about 10 miles.

Tech, translated
HOLLOW-TECH GUIDANCE SYSTEM is Saucony's updated stability geometry in the heel of the Omni 22. The hollow construction reduces weight while keeping the structural support that pushes back against early pronation. Different from Saucony's frame-based CenterPath in the Hurricane and Guide lines — the Omni stays closer to traditional medial-post stability.
PWRRUN+ is Saucony's supercritical TPU-blend foam, used in the Omni for daily-mileage durability and moderate cushion.
Frequently asked
How does the Saucony Omni 22 compare to the Saucony Hurricane 25?
Both are Saucony stability shoes but they target different stability needs. The Omni 22 uses a traditional medial-post HOLLOW-TECH guidance system in the heel; the Hurricane 25 uses Saucony's modern frame-based CenterPath geometry and a dual-layer PEBA + PWRRUN midsole. The Omni feels firmer and more corrective; the Hurricane feels softer and more gently guiding. Choose the Omni for traditional structured stability. Choose the Hurricane for modern non-posted premium-cushion stability.
Is the Saucony Omni 22 firm or soft underfoot?
Balanced, with a noticeably firmer feel under the arch from the medial post. PWRRUN+ foam reads soft enough for daily mileage on the lateral side, but the structural support keeps the ride controlled. Best at easy and steady-state pace.
Is the Saucony Omni 22 good for walking?
Yes, the Omni 22 works well for walking and long days on your feet, especially for customers who want firmer corrective support underfoot. The 8mm drop and traditional geometry feel natural at walking pace, and the secure heel hold keeps the foot locked in. The medial post may feel firm to walkers who prefer plush neutral cushioning; for those, the Hurricane 25 or a non-stability shoe is a better pick.
