Amazing for the right foot!!
Originally posted on Saucony
Yes, I recommend this
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.

No, I don't recommend this
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…

Great stability shoe, but peeling after 3 weeks
Originally posted on Saucony
The shoe itself feels great as a running shoe, but the logo/sticker is already peeling after only a few weeks of use, which is really disappointing.

Happy feet

I am on my second pair of Guides and they are amazing, I get excited to wear them. They have great cushion and have provided amazing support for the arthritis in my foot. Having large feet, I truly appreciate that there are so many color options in my size.

Light and help with plantar fasciitis
Originally posted on Saucony
Yes, I recommend this
I just ordered my 4th pair of these over the last two years and I love them. I struggle with plantar fasciitis and they are the first shoes I’ve found that really help with it. I walk everyday, mostly weighted, 3-7 miles. These shoes are so light and comfortable! I highly recommend.

I’ve been wearing the Saucony Guide series since 2021, starting with the Guide 16, and the Guide 18 continues to be exceptional. The support is outstanding — truly unmatched for my needs. I’ve had ankle surgery and have implants, and my ankle tends to buckle outward. This shoe prevents that completely. It gives me the stability and confidence I need, whether I’m walking, standing all day, or running. I literally wear these everywhere, all the time. They ground me. I also run all distances — 5K, 10K, and half marathons — and the Guide 18 performs beautifully across the board. Supportive, reliable, and comfortable every single time.

Not the same as the 17 😢
Originally posted on Saucony

I have worn the Guide 17 for well over 1.5 years. I love the 17! Best shoe I have ever owned! The 18’s are NOT the same shoe. This has been so unfortunate…18’s are so stiff, not near as cushioned as the 17’s. Not flexible, no rocker or movement to them. I really wish I could buy another Guide 17… Hoping for the Guide 19 to be back the way it was 💔

Not the same shoe
Originally posted on Saucony
I have worn the Saucony guide tennis shoes now for over 10 years. You have changed the style of the sole and it rocks. I feel like I’m always falling backwards when I’m just standing there. And they hurt my feet. They are formed to help in my cadence as I run or walk but it has hindered my natural movement. Sometimes leaving things alone is best.

Guide 18 not as good as 17
Originally posted on Saucony
No, I don't recommend this
I purchased the 18 because the 17 is no longer available. It’s okay…just not as comfortable as 17. Feels a little clunky, and looks wider also. I had a severe bone break 3 years ago and need overall good support on the foot. (Sides, arch, etc). The 18 does not provide that as well as the 17, nor for the same length of time. Kind of disappointed.
