Saucony Men's Guide 14 Running Shoes - Lightweight Stability Sneakers for Road Running & Training | Perfect for Marathon, Jogging & Gym Workouts

These shoes cleared up my shin splints and knee issues almost immediately. I had about 2 years on my previous pair and it was long overdue for a new one. These ones are better than before.Husband loves these! Glad to find the older style here on Amazon, as they weren’t available where I bought them previously. Got two of the current pair for him to alternate!Very comfortableI have worn Saucony shoes for twenty years, but the Guide 13's I bought in 2021 were a disappointment. They were fine except that they started to tear at the collar after a few runs and they really looked crappy. But I decided to give the Guide 14's a chance, and these have been great. I've got over 200 miles on each of the two pairs I own, and they're holding up just fine. I think they do provide some extra support without feeling stiff. Very comfortable shoes and they don't feel clunky at all.I read the review talking about resisting the temptation to replace the laces. Before the I received these shoes, I wondered what they were talking about. I must have missed the memo about these new stretchy laces. I'd never had anything like them before, and I wondered what was up the first time I tied these laces up. But I really like the laces. No need to double knot them when you tie your shoes, and they never come untied. Pretty neat.Once again, I ordered a half-size larger than I would with any other brand of shoe. For whatever reason, Saucony shoes seem to run a bit small. But going with a half-size larger seems to work for me.I am a 5’ 11” 190 lb jogger around 20 miles a week. I am a big fan of the previous model Guide 13. For a heavy runner it had a perfect balance of support, responsiveness and light weight. I have a slighlty narrow foot that the upper secured well.This model (14) is still good but…(1) the biggest difference is the back of the heel. It has noticeably changed where it feels much more open and doesn’t secure the back of the foot as well. Thus, not as supportive.(2) They changed the laces from flat to round. It may be cosmetic, but my experience is flat will cinch easier and stay tied better. Plus these round laces look like something on my 9 year olds shoes.(3) Seems like there’s more “space” across the mid foot which feels looser for my narrowish foot. This may be a good thing for normal feet.Overall, its good. The heel has changed this shoe from being a “do everything” shoe for heavy joggers like me to something less supportive on longer 7+ miles.the fit is good, very comfortableThese are a great looking version of Saucony’s Guide series, with a simpler, cleaner look and thick, spongy laces that AREN’T TOO LONG (Guide Iso), and don’t easily come untied on their own.But they are also the firmest footbed of any Guide since the Guide Iso. Significantly firmer than the Guide 13, Guide 10, and Guide 8.If you’re coming directly from the 13 like I was, you’ll notice the difference right away, and it takes some getting used to. It was so firm at first that I seriously thought about returning them, then looked online into whether or not I should try breaking them in, and if the ride would soften over time.Thankfully, it has, and they’re proving to be a good running shoe. The uppers are very lightweight and so breathable that they remind me of Nike Huarache type uppers. The upper is soft and comfy, though, and needed no breaking in, while providing excellent ventilation and good space in the toe box.The heel counter on this one is pronounced and so soft and almost squishy that it’s easy to crush down if you don’t hold onto it while inserting your foot. I prefer a bit more stiffness back at the heel, but I can’t argue with the comfort and softness. We’ll see if it holds up over time.I’ve been very happy with Saucony’s Guide line of shoes over the years, and the fact that they’re available in different widths as well as sizing. They’ve always been a quality shoe for running thats worth the money.These shoes have been a great everyday sneaker for everyday use. Been very happy with the quality of Saucony. These are my second pair but my first time trying the guide 14. I really like the extra arch support it provides. And still very easy to walk in like the Ride model.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 oneThese are supposed to be guide shoes there is very poor cushioning in heal and they lean over to the outside edge.Best Saucony running shoe for mine since Kinvara 6Rein 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 ;-)
