Saucony shoes US - Canada (Read 686 times)

Progrid Omni Moderate? I think it's the same shoe in the US and Canada.

I think the site says cushion, but all shoes are "cushion" shoes, to a certain degree. The difference between a "cushion" shoe and a "stability" shoe is that a stability shoe will have a medial post, which the Progrid Omni Moderate has. According to the Dick's page for the women's shoe: The Saucony® ProGrid™ Omni 6 delivers the perfect level of control and cushioning combined with the fit you have come to expect from Saucony®. It's loaded with cushioning technologies, including ProGrid™ with Respon-Tek™, for comfort and a plush ride. The Dual Density EVA midsole provides the ideal level of medial support to control overpronation. Features • Midsole Material: Dual-Density EVA Dual-density EVA offers lightweight cushioning. Dual-density EVA is the medial post. I have had this shoe recommended to me, in the past. It's definitely not a neutral shoe. Dick's website is pretty crappy, IMO. DSG doesn't even own the website...it's an affiliate and is used by a ton of other sporting goods retailers. I'd actually not be surprised if Dick's stores don't carry the shoe, as the website selection is usually much greater than what the brick-and-mortar stores carry (with the exception of very large Dick's locations). Check out the descriptions of the shoe on other sites (with the exception of all of the ones in the above link that are charging $99.99--those are all pretty much affiliates of the same retailer that Dick's uses). Everyone else describes it as a moderate stability shoe.

RRS classifies it as a stability shoe, as well...I'd trust them to know running shoes WAY before I'd trust Dick's.

Thanks for all your help. I see my shoes are endangered. Darn! This is the 2nd time they've changed. Hopefully the next iteration will be even better.

My favorite shoe has been discontinued, too. The new version should be out in a couple of weeks. I've heard that any changes are going to be very minimal--I hope so.
