Saucony ProGrid Omni 8

	Memory-foam sockliner

	Stiffer than many stability shoes

As with the brand's Hurricane 11, the updates to Saucony's best-selling shoe focus on improving comfort, with moisture-wicking mesh in the collar and tongue, memory foam in the collar and a new sockliner combining to offer a plush ride.

Saucony has done a good job giving this update a more comfortable ride, while maintaining the ample support the shoe is known for – the

memory-foam sockliner works well to dampen each footstrike. Our lab tests show the shoe is slightly stiffer than many stability shoes, but it does offer soft cushioning.

Our wear-testers say: "Very sturdy running shoes with quite a bouncy feel. These are great shock absorbers and very well-built." - Raidel Chao-Batlle
