With version 18, Saucony's steady Guide gets subtle but notable refinements. The midsole retains the same PWRRUN foam as the previous version, for a smooth and balanced underfoot experience. Next, with proprietary Center Path Technology, the high sidewalls and broad base create a stable ride for every step. Meanwhile, the outsole uses durable carbon rubber in high-wear areas, along with outsole-grade EVA foam. Together, this combination delivers traction that doesn’t weigh down or interfere with the shoe’s soft and smooth feel. Wrapping it all up is an updated engineered mesh upper that offers more stretch and ventilation for all-day wearability. Additionally, extra memory foam padding around the heel helps lock in the fit with premium comfort. Whether you're going out for an easy run, daily walk, or regular weekly miles, choose the Saucony Guide 18 as your dependable and stable trainer for comfort and protection on your journey.
