Details & care

Elevated cushioning and embedded stabilization keep every stride comfortably aligned in a running shoe that doubles as an everyday street sneaker or performance gym shoe.

Perfect for: Everyday runners looking for superior cushioning and a gently stabilizing ride for all-distance running, circuit training and walkabout comfort.

Upper: Engineered mesh provides breathable flexibility that moves comfortably with your foot. Updated heel collar offers a plush, locked-in feel. PWRRUN+ insole provides superior cushioning with minimal added weight. FORMFIT footbed gently stabilizes every stride.

Midsole Drop: 6mm. Classified as a mid-drop measurement, it pushes your foot forward to support a more natural mid/forefoot strike.

Lower: PWRRUN cushioning transforms every landing into responsive energy. Center Path Technology cradles your foot with higher sidewalls and stabilizes your stride on a broad, flexible platform. Targeted rubber puts traction in the tread only where you need it to help minimize overall weight.

  • Cushioning: absorbs impact and distributes weight for consistent, buoyant comfort under each step
  • Stability: helps maintain comfortable foot alignment with targeted cushioning and support
  • Hybrid: transitions from a running shoe to a street sneaker with high-performance comfort for any activity
  • Removable, cushioned insole allows for custom orthotics
  • PWRRUN+ sock liner puts expanded cushioning with less weight underfoot to deliver a plush, springy ride
  • FORMFIT contoured footbed keeps every stride stabilized and comfortable
  • PWRRUN cushioning puts responsive energy under every stride
  • Center Path Technology stabilizes each stride with a broader platform, higher sidewalls and asymmetric profile
  • Textile and synthetic upper and lining/rubber and synthetic sole
  • Imported
  • Item #10446953

Saucony

It's the shoe brand that's easy to wear but tricky to say. Saucony, pronounced SOCK-uh-nee, has been running strong since 1898, when four young businessmen opened a shoe manufacturing company in a two-story brick factory on Saucony Creek in Kutztown, Pennsylvania. Today, as always, the brand's shoes are synonymous with innovation, comfort, quality construction and style.

Not true to size.
I wear and measure at a size 11B Women’s USA shoe. These shoes were too short. No half sizes and limited options at size 12. Returned the shoes. Also, the Guide 18 have been replaced by Guide 19. Guide 19 are too hard compared to the Guide 18. I have plantar fascosis.

Comfy but wide
Comfortable but seem a lot wider than the previous guide series I’ve bought. Not great for narrow feet.

Bulky shoes
I haven't been able to even wear these shoes because they are very bulky.

Amazing for the right foot!!
Trained for a marathon and ran a marathon in these. Phenomenal for narrow feet! Definitely recommend getting fitted because obviously not everyone will like. These were my replacement shoe since a different brand completely changed their insole which destroyed my knees in a month. These were amazing and with my arch supports have been used well over the recommended lifetime.

Changed design on tried and true shoes. So sad.
I have worn the Guide shoes for years. I swear by them, but the newest one changed the design of the sole. It is a “roller” sole. I was never as disappointed in my life. Now I have to go on a new search for a new brand of shoes. It’s always a sad day when companies decide to improve on a product that was fine the way it was. Lost a customer in me…
