- By maintaining a standard centerline, increasing the height of the sidewalls and building on a rocker shape to ease toe-off, this technology helps keep feet centered
- Plenty of soft and responsive PWRRUN foam underfoot for smooth and comfortable miles and protection
- Broad base geometry has the foot sit deep inside a stable platform, resulting in an exceptionally well-cushioned ride that also provides protection and inherent support
- XT-900 carbon rubber outsoles for durable traction

Great running or walking shoes.
4 months ago
I received these products for free from the REI Trailblazers sampling program in exchange for my honest review. These are very similar to another well padded shoe. The Guide 18 is a super padded, heel to toe stride shoe. It has a good amount of lateral support and excellent impact absorption. The fit was true to size and the shoes are made of a breathable upper material .

Solid road runners, lots of cushion
6 months ago
I’ve been wearing these shoes for a couple weeks now, and they seem to be a solid roadrunner. The cushioning is thick, And the shoes are stable feeling under foot. I primarily use them on pavement, but also have run on trails in relatively ideal conditions, and they did fine for relatively short stints on dirt with adequate traction. I found the foam to be a little less springy than other well cushioned road runners I have used. I also work on my feet and frequently walk 6000 steps while on my eight hour shift, and have really loved these shoes for this role , it helps with joint and muscle fatigue And they will be my go to work shoes for now.

Great stability with effective rocker
6 months ago
This pair of Guide 18 was provided free of charge by REI for the purpose of reviewing. Really appreciate the product but the opinion here is entirely my own. I have had 16 miles in them so far . Mostly on pavement with some hard packed trails and some light snows. This is an excellent stability offering and I do run in stability shoes (GT-2000 12) and do use orthotics from time to time. My pace is around 10 min/mile. Overall I think this is a must try for anyone with stability needs or want to run in rigid rocker shoes. Pros - Highly effective rocker and heel bevel. Very smooth transition. heel strikers rejoice! - also has a sweet for forefoot strikers especially picking up the pace. - good lockdown with excellent upper materials and padding. Very comfortable. Also zero issues with fit even with swapping out stock insoles for orthotic - surprisingly good traction in light snow despite the exposed midsole foam. I think largely due to wide mid foot and high side wall creates good stability in most surfaces. But see below comment for cons. Cons - rigid rocker is not for everyone. personally prefer a bit more flex up front. Also still not used to going downhill in the rigid rocker. I had to change my foot strike a lot for long run down inclines or hills. A bit of learning curve. - personally prefer a bit more bounce and pop from the midsole material. didn’t quite enjoy the softer PWRRUN+ insole with the firmer PWRRUN midsole combo as much other materials. I Previously also didn’t like other Saucony shoes that have this midsole/ insoles combo. - excellent for standing around all day but tipping backwards accidentally is a real thing. Never experienced it in other shoes.

Rolling into comfort

I have been using these on the assault trainer inside. They roll so differently than my typical running shoes. I don’t run as fast, but my feet and legs and back can last so much longer! Great for training, probably pick my other shoes for race day though.

Easy on the joints
4 months ago
I've had these now for a month and put some miles down...so here we go. Right up front, I would definitely recommned these for distance road running. They are EXTREMELY comfortable. I walk around and forget I have them on. It is walking on pillows. I use them for walking and jogging on hard pack, asphalt, and the treadmill, which is where I do most of my miles with a weighted vest. At 48 y/o, and a "runner" for 30 of those, these are a game changer for jogging and walking if your heavier or wearing weight. No more sore joints, before sore muscles and cardio exhaustion. They are built for distance. The outer is durable and has resisted scuffing, albeit this is no trail hiker. This is a road king. As a side note, I will wear these through a mixed cardio workout, and they are fine on the rower and assault bike. I would not lift or ride in theses. I am a size 10 with feet on the wider side. These fit true to size and are not too narrow. Plenty of room in the toe box.

Great shoe with maximum support.
4 months ago
This is a great shoe with maximum support. I would recommend it if you are a runner who likes full support and runs on pavement. It has very minimal grip, so not really a trail shoe. It fits just like my Kinvaras, same sizing, and the top is very familiar. In short I would describe this as the saucony version of the ultra supportive hokas

Too much change from Guide 13
1 month ago
I wore a pair of Guide 13s for years and they were my favorite shoes I've ever run in. They finally wore out so I bought a pair of Guide 18. First, in the Guide 13, I wore a 10.5 regular width; I had to go with 11.5 wide in the Guide 18 to fit properly. After my first 2.5-mile run in these, my foot hurt so badly I couldn't walk right for 3 days. It's a shame they changed the design so much in the past few years. Hopefully it works great for most folks, but if you wore the Guide 13, this may not be the one for you anymore.

The Buckleys of Shoes, Looks Awful But It Works
3 months ago
4 Stars for being fairly comfy and supportive, but loses 2 because my girlfriend said she would be embarrassed to be seen with me in public while wearing them since the design is very ugly...what were they thinking with the designs since Guide 14. The 14 and before look sharp and classy. The new design looks pretty bad from the side. Lost another star for declining to post my previous review.

Saucony is not Hoka

The Guide has been my go to shoe for many years. Along the way there have been many changes some good some meh. This version has been the worst I have ever experienced. It is like having a Hoka Bondi knock off.
