I bought these about a month ago and while I was incredibly excited about the color way and how bright they are, I am extremely disappointed in the performance. They rub my pinkie toes when I run and every single time I wear them I get a new blister on my heel regardless of what I do (different socks, athletic tape, heel lock lacing, blister patches). I now have a new pair of training shoes that continue to hurt me and take away from training days. Extremely disappointed and feel like I wasted my money.
I needed a shoe to replace the Tempus 2 since they are no longer available. I am finding the Guide 19 perfect for my long runs. It is not as speedy as the Tempus line but I love the wider toe box and the cushion. I tried Guides many years ago and did not like them but I am loving the updated version. I think I have found my new Ultra distance shoe!
Because I have purchased Saucony Guide for my grandson for at least the last five years, I decided to buy this pink pair for myself. My grandson had trouble finding shoes that fit comfortably, until the New Balance store suggested Charm City Run Timonium Maryland. Because they run true to size, we now purchase online.
I bought these a couple of months ago and have been disappointed in the support I have been wearing this model for several years now and I have to say there is something different with this pair. I have flat feet and over pronate. This pair seems extra big for my typical size 8.5 my foot feels like it slips no matter how tight I tie them. They are so uncomfortable I ended up buying the Omni which has the support I need but wish it had the same toe box as the Guide. May be on a search for a new brand of shoes , I expect better quality out of shoe with the price tag of the Guide.
I am “new” to walking. I have a disabled daughter who has had some set backs recently, basically making us house bound. I was frustrated with that and decided to make adjustments. I knew I needed a good, supportive shoe due to high arches and age. What a difference these shoes have made. Though I am pushing her (90 + lbs) plus a special chair (another 50+ lbs), I don’t feel the work/strain as I did in the fashion shoes I had started walking in. It is going to help keep me motivated to walk regularly knowing I am not going to be sore after. Thank you for this shoe!!!
I went to a running store to figure out the best shoe for me after building up my power walks to runs since my old shoes started to make my feet and body feel uncomfortable. I’ve been wearing these now for about a month though and do only runs on a treadmill. These have changed how my body feels after a run for the better!! I land more on my heel when walking and my right foot tends to lean inward more which is what caused previous knee and arch pain in my previous shoes and with this shoe it gives me the arch support needed to help stabilise my food and the cushion needed to help me with the knee pain. Love these shoes so much, and they’re not too cushioned to where you can’t wear them for a regular workout either.
This is my 2nd pair! These are then most comfortable running shoes ever. Plus size runner approved.
This shoe is literally so comfortable and I love the color!!
Not the shoe shape I was hoping for, but super comfortable. I bought these for work (have to have solid black) and wanted another pair of running style Saucony shoes. I recently bought the women's Endorphine Speed 5 and I was hoping for something simila as they are by far my all-time favorite tennis shoe. These are closer to what a Hoka running shoes which are just so big looking to me. But they are super comfortable, so I decided to keep them. I'm not disappointed in how the fit or feel at all.
