Guide 18 Sports Trainers

Best running shoes ever! Comfortable fit. Great support. Durable.

Just got this shoe so can’t comment on its durability I have and love the Guide 15 and these shoes are completely different. Cushion increased at the expense of support and stability- which were the best things about the previous models. Also, foot pads are too wide - also making it less supportive. Feels like Saucony is trying to make this beloved product align with Hokas :/ Willing to give it a try but already know it won’t be as good as my old one.

While I do not like the style direction of the bulkier look that send to be taking over running shoes of all brands, I can appreciate the comfort of my Sauconys that I’ve enjoyed for almost 15 years since I switch over to the brand. In this latest tweak to the Guide model, I had to move up a half size from 7 to 7.5 to keep the front of my toes from feeling smashed up front and sore after just an hour of walking in the shoes. Oddly, the half size up also made my foot look bigger overall which I don’t like. Vanity perhaps but simply not all that pleased with this pair for the first time in 15 years.

Super comfortable! Its like walking on air!! Verry good foot support!! Im on my feet for 12 hour shifts and they never fail me!

Saucony and the Guide series are my perfect runner. Worn as an everyday shoe from walking to exercise. Very happy with the 18 after having worn out the Guide 16.

I recently bought the Saucony Guide 18, first time trying the brand, and I was really excited to give them a go. I bought them for my upcoming marathon. After putting 50-60 km on the shoes (should be broken in, no?), I did a half marathon race, and it felt like the bones in my feet were breaking, specifically the outer part of the foot was in terrible pain. They are fitted fine, not too small or big. I've been running for years, with several half marathons and marathons under my belt, and I've never experienced such foot pain, even in really worn out shoes.

At the FLEET FEET, I tried women's 10.5W...short...sized up to 11.0W...perfect fit! I'm a slight overpronator. These offer just enough support; not real high in the arch. Perfect for my Morton's Neuroma. Took a run/walk right out of the box. No complaints! Suggestions...people who have big wide feet like colors, too😁

I have 3 pairs of these shoes because my previous shoes decided to change up their fit and overall I am happy with them but there do have their downfall. The soles are already cracking pretty bad in the toe area and the tonge has some peeling on the material . I use them mainly for running however I do wear them some while walking. And they are meeting my expectations in those areas. Just hope they hold up to the mileage

I bought the guide 17 in Navy/Orchis last year in XE, I love these shoes, they are perfect for my foot shape and hold up well. I was so happy to find them last year in a color other than standard white or black or gray. Please make one or two additional color options for your extra wide foot customers. I am so sad that we don’t have an option this year and that I did not purchase more than one pair last year.

I have worn the Guide 17 for well over 2 years. It is my all time favorite shoe and the best shoe for me because of the cushion (bad knees). I read reviews and was lead to believe the 18 would give me the same comfort with possibly more cushion. That did not happen for me. The Guide 18 is ok and is comfortable, but does not cushion my knees like the Guide 17. I was somewhat disappointed and hoping when the 19 comes out, that shoe has the same cushioning as the 17!!!!

Every time I run in these I have excruciating pain

I love these shoes. I decided to become a runner this year and I initially tried Hokas but my heels were caving in so these were recommended to me and they are perfection! They keep my heels up and feel like a cloud. The bottoms do wear fast but not terrible. This is what they look like today (I’ve put 350 miles on them). They do fit small. I’m normally a 6.5, sometimes a 7. I have to buy the 7.5 in these. I really hope the salmon color comes back because I need them!!

This is my third pair of Guide 18s. Love the beige color with gold accents...goes with everything and needless to say, super comfortable with deep cushioning.

Like running on a cloud! I strongly recommend if you need a good shoes to stabilize your balance and absorb the impact.
