As the name suggests, the Saucony Guide 16 has just the right mix of support and cushioning to guide you through your stride. As a stability running shoe, the Guide 16 features a carved-out footbed and cradles your foot for a more supportive feel. It’s a great option for long runs and up-tempo workouts alike with lightweight and responsive cushioning coupled with enough stability to support your stride when fatigue sets in. If you’re looking for a cushioned everyday trainer with a little bit of bounce, the Guide 16 is the running shoe for you.
WHY PACERS CARRIES THESE SHOES:
The Guide 16 proves that a shoe doesn’t have to be bulky to deliver stable cushioning. The latest iteration of Saucony’s mid-cushioned stability shoe takes what worked in the Guide 15 – lightweight, responsive ride, HOLLOW-TECH support system – and upgrades it with a softer and better-fitting upper. You can trust these shoes to guide your foot through every stride.
WHAT’S NEW:
After the Guide 15 brought a significant overhaul to the model, the Guide 16 represents a more minor update. The redesigned mesh upper provides a softer, more customizable fit. A new pull tab on the heel makes it easy to slide into these shoes and hit the road.
WHO THESE SHOES ARE FOR:
- Runners of all abilities running an easy pace or longer runs
- Walkers of all abilities
- Athletes who mix running and other fitness into their daily routines
