Why We Like The Saucony Guide 17 Running Shoe
Stable and highly cushioned, the Saucony Guide 17 Running Shoe provides comfort and support for our runs, walks, and everyday life. The engineered synthetic mesh keeps things light on our feet while Saucony's proprietary PWRRUN foam weighs in lighter than conventional EVA foam with plenty of bounce and cushy comfort. The Guide also adds a stability platform to support overpronators and help us run safely and comfortably. The new Guide 17 includes several updates, including a wider base, higher sidewalls, and lower 6mm drop.

Guide 17 did not work for me.
The soles of the Guide 17 sneakers are too high and too hard for me. They hurt my lower back. Guide 16 sneakers are perfect for me.

Not entirely happy
I have worn this type of Saucony shoe for more than 10 years. This is the first pair I haven't been happy with because they tend to hurt my feet for some reason.

Excellent for training and speed workouts
My guide 17s are soft with the perfect amount of cushioning and support. I train in them and wear them for speed runs. I recently ran the Disney ten miler and couldn’t believe how different my feet felt after that race. These shoes are the best !!

Amazing for wide feet
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 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.

Best shoe ever
I have been a Saucony shoe customer for over 25 years and the Guide 17 is by far the best running shoe I have ever worn! My feet are flat and have bunions, so comfort is key. This shoe delivers on comfort and support.

Miles Made Easy
I bought these a few weeks ago and they are great! Each time I run 3.1 miles and these sneakers are perfect. They give me the proper stability and comfort I need to reach my running goals.

So comfortable
Best shoes ever! Great support and so comfortable! Felt like my feet were inside foam clouds! I actually bought an extra pair after wearing the first ones for two weeks. You can’t go wrong with these. Hope this exact style continues.
