Saucony Women's Guide 18 Running Shoes

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!

I Iove these shoes. I previously ran in Hoka Bondi 9 but I would get such horrible blisters. These shoes give me all the same cushion but without the blisters. Really light, great option for marathon training I’d say. One caveat- after about 2-3 runs the exterior label on the shoe started to peel off. Still giving 5 stars because they are functionally a great shoe.

I have been on the hunt to replace my shoes for MONTHS! My husband seen these and got me to try them. I walked around the store for a bit and they seemed to be "the ones". Took them home to wear inside for a few weeks. The feel absolutely amazing on. I have lots of problems with my feet. I have a bunionette, I wear orthotics, I have plantar fasciitis in one heel. These shoes have a wide toe box but don't feel bulky like others. The foot bed is deep enough for my orthotics making it so my feet don't slip out of the shoes. I'm working on my plantar facisitis and I know these shoes will make a difference in the healing of that too. The shoes are light weight even with the extra support in the heel. Way to go Saucony and THANK YOU from my tired achy feet.

I bought these shoes at a local running store and I am in love with them! I never thought I could love a tennis shoe more. I bought them specifically for my job. I am a graphic designer most of the time but there are a few times a year that I am a photographer for my work and one is for a week at a time. It’s about 4 hours of constant walking, bending, crouching and stretching which is not the norm for me. Last year I developed pain in my lower back that I had for many weeks after the event week was done and the event was a struggle to do well. I knew I couldn’t do that to myself this year and I know it’s because of my shoe choice. I like back at my average step total for last years event was significantly lower than this year because I’m not in pain! These were one of my best purchases of the year and I will definitely be purchasing another when I wear these out. I got the dream/cloud color and they are so cute! I didn’t really get to pick because that’s all the store had. I also really like that it doesn’t scream the brand like other tennis shoes might. These are understated but I love tat about them. Easily my best purchase of 2025.

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.

I been wearing Saucony since I started jogging over 30 years ago and they are the best shoe for me. They improve the comfort every year.

Love these shoes! They are lightweight, have great arch support and are so incredibly cushioned you will feel like you're walking in the clouds!

Very comfortable and stable but not too stiff nor firm. It’s like you’re walking on a stable platform with a ton of cushioning. The heel is secure and snug too. Nothing on this shoe rubs any part of my foot in an uncomfortable wat.
