text: I've worn Saucony Ride 5 and several versions of the Saucony Guide and bought these OMNI 13 thinking they'd be fine since Saucony has never really failed me. I should have known that since the Ride 5 had less of an heel to toe decline than the Guide versions I had before and that this shoe would be super flat. I wasn't too fond of the Ride 5 and hate the OMNI 13. I wear a size 10 and have normal width feet but need some arch support. These shoes provide no arch support and are so narrow that my feet start to get tingly after just wearing them for 5 minutes. These shoes are like walking on boards. Awful. There is no way I could run a mile in these yet a half marathon! Saucony shoes definitely changed once they were bought by the Wolverine Worldwide in 2012. I won't buy Saucony any more. Back to Brooks shoes for me!
