Guide 18 Sports Trainers

This is my first pair of proper running shoes and I love them so far! Used to run in some old Asics I got on clearance, but now that I’m getting into running more consistently I bought these. I have very flat feet and collapsed arches, and these were recommended for me because of their supportive centre path tech. The first 5k i ran in these I got nasty blisters on the insides of the my feet where my arch was being held up. If this is the case for you, don’t give up on these shoes yet. I wish I had broken them in more slowly but they are super comfortable now. Ran my first 10K in these shoes, something I never thought I’d be able to do after having some pretty nasty shin splints and knee pain from playing soccer my whole life. I totally recommend these to any fellow flat footed runner, especially if you’re just starting out. I’ve taken them on trails, pavement, track, and they feel fantastic.

I loved these runners. I had bad shin issues and switching to these fixed that up. I bought another pair and unfortunately the bottoms of them came off. I had only done one 8k race in them before the bottoms totally separated. Not sure how this happened when my originals are still in great shape. I think quality has perhaps gone downhill.

I bought these two weeks ago and my knees started hurting. I took them back and exchanged them and my knee issue resolved.

I developed a blister on the top of my foot after first wearing these shoes. They are very comfortable on the soles. The color goes with everything.

Very comfy shoes. I use them for comfort - so kind to my elderly feet.. And for gym workouts.

I absolutely love the Guide 18s! I am training for a half marathon, typically run 30-40 miles a week. The past few months, I've gone through several other shoes, had lots of trouble with blisters. Since I've been using the Guides, my feet feel so supported and blister-free! Love the cushion on these shoes. I wear them for my long runs and everything else in between. Looking to get a second pair soon. Love the colors these shoes come in as well.
