Guru tip– Saucony ditches the tpu guidance frame but keeps the stable ride. Tech tip– Just like the middle child, the Saucony Guide 17 is out of the shadows and all grown up ready to take on the world! The Guide might be a late bloomer with the 17th version but that doesn’t take away from how great this shoe is. The Guide 17 reinvents stability by providing a broader platform, high sidewalls, and an asymmetric profile that will GUIDE your foot to reduce fatigue and prevent injury. You can tell the Guide has been hitting the gym because this thing is Beefy! The Guide 17 gained 2mm of Saucony’s soft yet bouncy PWRRUN foam to give you 35mm in the heel and 29mm in the forefoot. You can’t go wrong with the FORMFIT upper. Don’t worry, the Guide 17 hugs your foot much more securely than two awkward prom dates taking pictures all while managing to keep the clamminess away too! The Guide 17 is perfect for those who need stability but don’t want the firm foam and clunkiness that comes with them. The Saucony Guide 17 provides a smooth ride for all overpronators who want a max cushioned shoe. Buy this shoe– if you want to feel as if you’re gliding while your foot is being guided. Don’t buy this shoe– if you hate middle children (or if you don’t like a lot of cushion) SAUCONY MEN’S GUIDE 17 WIDE
