I’ve Bought Three Pairs!

I was wearing new balance 860v10 for years because I couldn’t find a stability shoe that worked for me. I resorted to looking on resale sites because no other shoe worked until I found the Guide 18. I bought one pair, and have already bought two more in different color ways. I’m currently training for NYCM and haven’t had any issues with this shoe. Overall great stability!

No Stability Or Support!

I've purchased several versions of Guides and they continue to go downhill. Absolutely no ankle support and no arch support. Sprained my ankle walking after only a few times wearing. The cushion is there but it feels like it hits my foot at the heel, not the arch, making it even less stable. I only wear them at work now, not for exercise, and my feet and ankles hurt even after that. It's unfortunate because they were expensive, but if I can't even wear them to run errands or work, they're not a great product.

Good

I have a few foot issues so it is hard to find a good, properly supportive shoe for my feet. This one is pretty good. Comfortable and supportive. After about 2.5 miles of walking, though, the bottom of my forefoot starts burning. I usually have about a 1/2 mile or more to go so it's a struggle.

Disappointing

I have been a huge fan of the Saucony Guide for years, until they completely changed the construction of this shoe. The Guide 18 has a much wider toe box than the previous versions, the heel doesn't feel as secure and finally the arch support has decreased. Basically everything I loved about this shoe has been abandoned. It really lacks stability in my opinion.

No Longer Offers Stability

This is the third generation of Guides I have purchased to serve my active lifestyle with weak ankles. This new sole style is anything but stable! Previous generations of this shoe were great! These, however, resulted in a severely sprained ankle just a week or 2 after purchase. The new style of lacing isn't as secure, and the wide and long Hoka-like soles don't offer good balance. I'm grateful I didn't recycle my old pair, as I've been using those and have sent these new ones to the curb. Please bring back the stability of this formerly great shoe!!
