Let me start by saying I am not one to write reviews and if I do is to complain. These are incredible shoes! I am loving my guides 17. I've only had them for 2 weeks and bought them to add to my rotation but I find myself grabbing them every single time I go out for my runs, long or short. Very roomy toe box compared to other Saucony models and even other brands. I have very wide feet with an incredibly high instep and most wide models in other brands are not wide enough and still hurt my feet from every angle. Not these. I love how they feel on the road, not so much on a smooth trail surface but they're not trail so it's ok. However once the run transitions to road you feel the magic of these shoes, they can pick up the pace really quick! The stability is ... MoreLet me start by saying I am not one to write reviews and if I do is to complain. These are incredible shoes! I am loving my guides 17.

However once the run transitions to road you feel the magic of these shoes, they can pick up the pace really quick! The stability is exquisite, super stable without being intrusive or aggressive, it's almost as if you weren't using a stability shoe at all, specially because they're so light. I am very satisfied so far with this new iteration and we shall see how the sole fares in a few months.Please keep making roomy shoes, and consider adding more fun colors for us wide footed people. It's sad to only have darker boring colors, I want to be bright and seen when running.

Special, no. But, at the same time, YES!While the Guide 17 does not offer any superfoam, plates, or pizazz, it’s still might be my favorite shoe of the year.Saucony’s daily trainer here has performed extraordinarily well for me over the past few months. (I did have one pair of mine that were defective, but loved the shoe so much that I gave it a second try!)What sets this shoe apart from the rest, is how familiar it feels on foot. It’s comfortable, but not overly soft. It’s stable, but not hindering. It’s protective, but still offers ground feel to the user. And did I mention affordable?! Best shoe at its price point, and in my eyes the best shoe for all my heavy runners out there.

I have bought these shoes for 10 years. This year they changed the drop from 6mm to 8mm and made the show “cushy” like Hoka. This ruined the shoe for me and actually has my knee hurting a bit while running. I’m only 30 years old.Changing the drop on a shoe is a huge deal, as that is what makes the shoe consistent for return buyers. If the 16 felt good for you, this 17 might not. As in the past you could consistently purchase the shoe year after year and receive that familiar supper comfort on your run with the stiff sole and 6mm droop.Why change a good thing ? This shoe was so good because it stuck to the tried and true form supporting feel.If we want a Hoka we could go buy a Hoka.I hope they bring it back to their bread and butter like the guide 14 next year.

I bought these shoes a month ago looking for a daily trainer. I am historically not a stability shoe fan — but this is not a typical stability shoe. This corrects your foot, knee, and hip positioning ever so subtly by working with your gait vs. forcing your foot into an unnatural direction. The cushioning absorbs all sorts of shock but is not dead underfoot and rebounds well. It’s not necessarily a speed shoe, but it’s a perfect shoe for people who have historically worn neutral shoes but could benefit from a little more stability. I’ve been running for 20 years and these are among my favorite shoes I’ve ever had. (And trust me, I was skeptical!)
The changes with the Guide 17 over the Guide 16 and prior generations makes this a no go for me. The Guide 17 is a noticeably larger shoe than the Guide 16 and prior generations. The foot strike area is different than prior Guide shoes.The size. The Guide 17 is large and wide and felt awkward and uncomfortable to walk and run in. The widest part of the shoe, the forefoot area is nearly 5 inches wide, a half inch wider than the Guide 16. The midfoot area on the Guide 17 is nearly 3.5 inches wide while it is barely 2.75 inches on the Guide 16. The heel area is on the Guide 17 is over 4 inches wide while it’s a just under 3.5 inches on the Guide 16. When I opened the box I initially thought I had been sent a wide width or had mistakenly ordered something other than ... MoreThe changes with the Guide 17 over the Guide 16 and prior generations makes this a no go for me.

When I opened the box I initially thought I had been sent a wide width or had mistakenly ordered something other than medium width. It’s like the shoe has become an extra extra wide.Foot strike area. The Guide 16 and prior generations my foot strike zone would be the forefoot area but the Guide 17 is the heel to midfoot area.The offset of the shoe changed from the Guide 16 to 17 or the description on the website and the shoe are wrong. The website lists the Guide 17 as having an 8mm offset which is the same 8mm offset for the Guide 16 but the actual Guide 17 I received has a 6mm offset printed on the sole of the shoe.
I am a long time fan of Saucony and the Guide series. Really wanted to love this shoe. But after less than 50 miles I had to return them due to plantar issues and pain in both feet. Though the shoe is stable it is not a stability shoe. The sidewalls provide very little support, guidance or correction. The cushioning is incredibly soft without responsiveness and contributes to the lack of stability underfoot. The forefoot and medial heel felt unstable and lacked enough structure to adequately control flex and movement. This is a Guide in name only and seems to engineered as a product for mass appeal rather than a viable stability trainer. Going to load up on the 16’s. Saucony please fix this for the next iteration.
Perhaps the least durable shoe I’ve ever owned, and that lengthy shoe list includes Nike’s Sock Racer from around 1986 with a PU unit sole. The Guide 17 has so much exposed EVA in the outsole that it wears like paper - especially under the ball of the foot. I’d recommend spending the extra $20 and buying the Tempus. The Guide 17 does feature a wider base of support for stability, but that is somewhat offset by a baggy forefoot fit. (Your heel sits a bit lower in the shoe, which does, at least, help to minimize heel slip). Your cushioning comes mainly from the footbed that seems to be etpu-based, so if you’re an orthotic wearer and have to remove the footbed (insole) to enhance the arch support, for example, the shoe’s cushioning feel becomes boring/entry-level.

The shoe does not feature the dual-density midsole design of the Tempus, so internally, it does not have that supportive feel in the arch. I had to glue arch cookies to the base of the footbed/insole to beef up the arch support. I appreciate the attempt at giving the Tempus a “kid brother”, but there’s no way I’d (again) invest $140 in a shoe where its outsole likely won’t last 150 miles. Photo included with this review is only after 10 miles of wear.
I have loved a variety of Sacouny shoes over the years Last year when I was training I suffered a foot injury that really put a hamper on my running. It took a long time to recover and I noticed coming back from the injury that I was much more sensitive to hard surfaces. These Guide 17 shoes have been amazing for getting back into exercising with much, much less pain on hard surfaces. The cushioning and rebound in these shoes is unparalleled. It's like they have found a way to reduce gravity and you just float along in these. The support is amazing and the asymmetrical profile keeps my recovering foot in better form thoughout my stride. I actually wear these as everyday shoes too because they feel so good.
I spend most of my time running on off ( smooth ) trails and stick to your rugged to enjoy nature more. Unfortunately this is a faster way to wear out out your shoes faster but its also a way to find out very QUICKLY if you HAVE a GREAT PAIR of RUNNING SHOES! These new Saucony Guide 17 runners I personally believe are lacking what it takes to go the distance on most trails beyond your standard SMOOTH PAVED. They DO have a nice LOOK about them and will do for a comfortable everyday WALKING SHOE, but NOT for my LONG DISTANCE RUNS. The PROBLEM seems to LY MID SOLE- it is very FIRM and seems to POUND INTO the TENDER SOLES of my feet as I'm RUNNING and the MORE RUGGED the TRAIL the more PAINFUL it BECAME. Needless to say I will DEFINITELY be STAYING off rugged trails ... MoreI spend most of my time running on off ( smooth ) trails and stick to your rugged to enjoy nature more.

I'm a fan of Saucony's Guide series. I own the Guide 15 and found the Hollow Tech to tremendously help stabilize my feet (a feature that is now in the Omni series). As such I wasn't sure what to expect of the Guide 17 with such massive changes. After running ~50 miles in them, I am happy to say that they're amazing. At first I found them to be rigid and tank-ish, they do soften up and become more fun as they break in. I find the shoe to be as stable as the previous versions. Also the upper is soft and accommodates my large feet well. Lastly, the shoes are good-looking and I've gotten several compliments when I wear them (I bought the yellow ones). I like my shoes to look good, and many running shoe brands don't make colorful shoes for men. I'm a fan of Saucony's ... MoreI'm a fan of Saucony's Guide series.
