Review: A Wonderful New "Ride" - I've been a runner for over 50 years. Most of my miles occurr in ASICS DS Trainers - a combination racing flat with a little support and a little cushioning. My "Guide 18" shoes are my first forray into contemperary cushioned, light-weight general purpose rrunning shoes. The first time I put them on and tried them out indoors, I almost returned them. The heels are lower than the rest of the sole. This caused me to rock back when standing. Fortunately I researched the "Guide 18s" and discovered that they required some 'getting used to'. My first run was pure delight coupled with surprise. The "Guide 18" shoes are as light as racing flats from a decade ago. The cushioning is cloud-like. The support is uncanny. I am a mild pronator and a heavy heel striker. With all my past shoes, the inside rear of the heal was chronically scuffed, and every 20 miles I needed to coat the scuff area with shoe repair adhesive. I've put quite a few miles on my "Guide 18s" now and all the wear is evenly distributed - no repair adhesive needed yet; the stability feature must be working. The fit, by the way, is consistent with the advertised sizing. Summarizing: Durable, well-fitting, stable, light, comfortable, and a fine value for the money. Review: Comfortable for flat-footed big guy - My efforts to find Saucony Guide 14 shoes on desertcart in size 14 has gotten tougher and tougher. I always liked those because of the hard plastic support built into the instep that was wonderful for keeping plantar fasciitis at bay. I finally decided to move on with my life and try something new... purchased a pair of Guide 18s. In short: these are comfortable shoes with decent arch support (note: I don't have much of an arch, so the moderate built in arch support is sufficient) ... and that is further facilitated by the generous and forgiving midsole. These shoes are my daily drivers, and I spend all day on my feet walking on hard surfaces and stairs. So far, so good. This model is a bit more narrow than the older Guide 14s or 15s, the toe box is on the smaller side, and they do NOT have that hard plastic insert that kept the shoe from flexing twisting. I'm doing a lot less trail running than 10 years ago, and more "campus stair walking"-- so it's working out. If I was running 1/2 marathons or 10Ks, I would definitely go up a size to account for foot swelling and wider, flatter feet. Black is a pretty neutral color, and these are not flashy like some of those combo Chernobyl Orange and Three Mile Island Green designs of the past. Modest for work, and functional for LISS, dog walking, hill walking, and treadmill at the gym. A couple weeks in and the "There's Something About Mary" smile white of the midsole and sole are definitely showing the dirty world I tread. However, the soles are holding up pretty well so far. We will see if these wear in the usual spots for an overpronating dude of 6'3". Happy with my purchase, better price than any local running shoe store. ## Features - Maximal Cushioning shoes have a broad base geometry where the foot sits deep inside a stable platform resulting in an exceptionally well cushioned ride but one that also provides protection and inherent support - Featuring Center Path Technology, asymmetric geometry that centers 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 - XT-900 carbon rubber outsole for durable traction - Breathable and supportive engineered mesh upper for versatile wearability ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0D31X8P7W | | Best Sellers Rank | #14,096 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ( See Top 100 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ) #52 in Men's Road Running Shoes | | Brand | Saucony | | Closure Type | Lace-Up | | Color | Flint/Navy | | Cushioning Level | maximum | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 381 Reviews | | Fabric type | Synthetic-and-fabric | | Fit to Size Sentiment | positive | | Has Shoe Adjustability | No | | Heel Type | No Heel | | Insole Cushioning | Foam | | Insole Material | Ethylene Vinyl Acetate | | Item Type Name | Sneaker | | Item Weight | 1.5 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Saucony | | Manufacturer Part Number | S20998/S20999-161 | | Material Fabric | Fabric | | Model Name | Guide 18 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Occasion Lifestyle | Casual | | Occasion Type | Earth Day | | Origin | Imported | | Outer Material | Mesh | | Outer material | Mesh | | Pattern | Solid | | Seasons | Spring/Summer | | Shoe Height Map | Low Top | | Shoe Type | Athletic Shoe | | Sole Material | Rubber | | Sole material | Rubber | | Special Features | Cushioned | | Specific Uses For Product | Sports | | Sport Type | Running | | Strap Type | lace_up | | Style Name | Guide 18 | | Style Number | S20998-161 | | Toe Style | Closed Toe | | UPC | 195020794326 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | lining-description | Nylon | ## Images ![Saucony Men's Guide 18 Sneaker - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81s3vacLplL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Wonderful New "Ride" *by U***E on June 5, 2026* I've been a runner for over 50 years.
