John Cameron These running shoes were recommended by NY Times Wirecutter. No complaints.
The Guide 18 is Saucony's core maximum cushioning training shoe. Built for comfort and protection, the Guide 18 is a cushioned everyday trainer that combines our soft and responsive PWRRUN foam with the exclusive centre path technology that keeps the foot centred and supported to deliver a best in class underfoot experience by maintaining a standard centreline, increasing the height of the sidewalls and building it on a rocker shape to ease toe off.
Product Highlights
- Featuring centrepath technology, asymmetric geometry that centres the foot from lateral crash through toe off to provide a more consistent balanced and supportive experience.
- Plenty of soft and responsive PWRRUN foam underfoot for smooth and comfortable miles and ultimate protection.
- XT900 carbon rubber outsole for durable traction.
- Breathable and supportive engineered mesh upper for versatile wearability.
