Saucony ProGrid Omni 9 Women's vs Saucony ProGrid Omni 9

Both are the same shoe: the ProGrid Omni 9, a stability trainer with a full-length ProGrid foam midsole and a rubber outsole. The W version is the women's build in black mesh with reflective trim and a padded collar; the Distract is a men's colorway in Harbour Black. Pick by fit and color, not by performance. Owners praise the cushioned, stable ride and durable outsole; the mesh upper runs warm and the shoe is heavier than modern daily trainers.

• Choose the Saucony ProGrid Omni 9 W if you want the women's fit and a black mesh upper with reflective detailing for low-light runs.
• Choose the Saucony ProGrid Omni 9 Distract if you want the Harbour Black colorway and a men's build of the same stability shoe.
