Saucony Men's Omni 19 Black/White

Long time fan of Saucony for trail (neutral) runners. Great tech - value - longevity - durability - and fit me perfectly (middle sizing, not narrow or wide) for my 11.5 feet. Lately transitioned to road running with some neutral runners - and immediately knew I needed a little something extra. Went ahead with Guide 15 - just got them today and straight out of the box hit a 10k run - absolutely perfect. Did NOT "feel" like a stability shoe at all - they're light - they're responsive - no weird obtrusive frames/blocks underfoot - but what I did notice was perfectly aligned full-footed strikes, excellent cushion but not at the expense of losing feedback, and zero "tweaks" in the ankle, achilles, or up calf-to-knee as I felt with the neutrals (other brand). Straight out of the box perfection for first 10km - and fast!

I bought 3 pair of these shoes shortly after purchasing several pairs of Freedom 4s. I bought the Guide 15 because it said it's for over-pronators, and I'm certainly one of those! So far, I like the ride of the shoe, though it took a little longer for these to break in than the Freedom 4. These two models are my first venture into Sauconys after years of running in Altra zero drop and Vibram Five Fingers. I am also running in On Cloudflyers. I run at least 100 miles a month and rotate 8-10 pairs of shoes through the course of the year. I hope the outside heel on these hold up as well as they appear early on.
