Men's Guide 14 Running Shoe

These shoes were purchased based upon online recommendations for neutral runners with flat feet. They are nice looking, well made shoes. However, after a couple of times out, I began to develop pain and stiffness in my ankles which turned into foot flop to the point I would have to stop after only 2 miles. I noticed the soles weren't very shock absorbent and a little stiff. I tried different insoles, lacing patterns, and levels of snugness. No relief. I went back to my Brooks Ghosts to get back on track. Like I mentioned, these aren't bad shoes. They just aren't for every runner. I will still wear them, only not for running.

Excellent shoes. I replaced my Saucony Guide 9 with these shoes, so you can tell how long I held onto my old running shoes. The shoes are made for runners who overpronate their feet; it has a piece of hard-density foam and plastic on the inside of the sole molded into the shoes to guide the foot back to level.Resist the temptation to replace the laces. They feel like foam and are dynamic laces, so there is some stretching. Also don't replace the insole. After running 6 miles in these shoes, the insole is plenty adequate.

So after doing research I figured out that I "overpronate" all of my shoes wore out on the big toe first, in fact it didn't take long for my big toe to be out over the tread. I have tried a couple different shoes and some inserts to no avail..until I found the guide 14. When I first put them on I did not feel the support I was use too, normally in the arch but as soon as I started walking I felt the support more in the ankle area. I could tell this was the best shoe I have bought in a long time after only 2 or 3 of my daily walks...my knees feel much better, no pain! Thank you so much!

I bought this shoe because my smart watch (also my leg pain & shoe sole wear pattern) made me aware that I was beginning to pronate a lot on one foot while I ran, making my stride asymmetric. This caused some mild tendonitis, and I made the decision to pull the trigger on these shoes. Let me be clear...THESE SHOES ARE INTENSEThere is a hard piece of TPC plastic for medial arch support and it WILL feel uncomfortable at first on the foot/feet that have issues. This plastic support is intense. It drives right into your arch and doesn't budge. I was genuinely concerned that my ankle would sprain while I ran, but I trusted the shoes and it felt like learning proper stride all over again. Within 2 weeks my stride is back to being perfectly symmetrical, my pronation is gone, and the shoes feel 100% comfortable. Trust me when I say this, the shoes being uncomfortable is probably a sign that you need them lol.

I run just fine in a neutral road running shoe, but I discovered I needed a more stable shoe for walking my dogs! I have one eager large breed that's always darting around and a medium dog that likes to take her time. Consequently, I'm often pulled in two different directions and needing to stop on a dime. I was getting uneven and accelerated wear on my neutral runners. I was also getting occasional, unexpected light sprains during these "simple" dog walks. I thought I'd give a stability shoe a try and these have been wonderful. They felt a wee bit snug out of the box, but I would say that they are a perfect fit now after one or two wearings. I'm always a regular 9.5 in a running shoe and these feel true to size. For walking, they feel just right. I like the "firmness" under foot and the stability is evident. The look is nice and subdued, but I dislike the current trend of knit fabric uppers on running shoes. I preferred the mesh look. This is my first time in Saucony and I will definitely try them again if they come out with a look I like. Looks are hit or miss with running shoes these days.

I’ve used the Saucony Guide 10, 11 and 13 over the past years and the Guide 14 is by far my favorite iteration of the shoe. Doesn’t even need a break in period. Comfortable on the first run right out of the box. The heel lock is slimmer than the 13, which I like. I found the 13’s heel to be unnecessarily bulky. Highly recommend purchasing this shoe if you’re in the market for a mild stability shoe.

I've been wearing these style shoes for almost 2years now. Bought the "edm" style this time. Fits like butter with an exception that the heel box feels a little larger. Hopefully these will last as long as my other pair and not create blisters. Love Saucony shoes! Thank God Amazon sells them and, at a little discount too, because nowhere local sells them... well except the darn trail runners.Thinking about buying a few more...worrying I won't be able to find Saucony anywhere in the future!

Hubby LOVES these! They corrected his foot stability by just wearing them!

Aaah, the old ‘send him size 9 even though he’s ordered an 8.5’ anyway trick. No, I’m an 8.5, running sizing is a little difference to Converse or slippers... avoid, I’ve now got to face refund and return nonsense so you don’t have to.

Had the Guide 13 before. Good experience with this one

Best Saucony running shoe for mine since Kinvara 6

Rein optisch gefällt er mir weniger, ich sehe ihn daher als „Werkzeug“ fürs Gehen und Laufen. Für mich ist der Schuh wie gemacht, er bietet mir einen sehr guten Halt im Fersen und Seitenbereich. Wobei ich erwähnen will, dass ich eine schmale Ferse aber normal breite Zehen habe.Die Schnürsenkel sind elastisch, zudem sind sie sehr dick, dadurch lassen sie sich sehr gut und fest schnüren.Die Sohle ist sehr gut gepolstert und bietet dadurch eine gute Dämpfung.Trotz der dicken Sohle und stabilen Verarbeitung ist der Schuh erstaunlich leicht.Ich bin nur mal gespannt wenn es heiß wird, ich befürchte das man doch schnell ins Schwitzen damit gerät weil sie wirklich satt am Fuß sitzen, da kann wenig Luft zirkulieren.Mein Fuß ist exakt 25,7 cm lang, in meinem Fall ist die Größe 42,5 passend.Nachtrag: Ich habe die Schuhe nun seit Monaten und bin noch immer begeistert, ich habe mir nun auch noch die Schuhe in der Farbe Alloy Cobalt gekauft, extra für den Sommer, wenn die Sonne extrem knallt ;-)

La scarpa è adatta ai pronatori, è un modello abbastanza rigido per camminate o corse brevi. Per chi non ha mai indossato scarpe del genere consiglio di usarle un po' per volta poiché risultano strane all'inizio, si ha una sensazione di compressione in alcuni punti della scarpa. Dopo averle provate per diversi giorni posso dire che sono ottime. Il sostegno laterale è essenziale per pronatori. Se volete qualcosa di più morbido scegliete altri modelli della stessa marca. Venditore serio e veloce, consigliato.
