Guide 16

The soles on my Saucony guides (models 15, 16 and now 18) have not lasted as long as the older versions.

Long run : Guide 16 Tempo : Evo SL Race day : Metaspeed Sky Tokyo

I've used saucony guide 16 and adidas ultraboost.. I've only ran 10k n both shoes give me moderate pain post run. I don't intend to go beyond 10k due to flat feet

I have the Guide 17 on rotation with the Tempus 1. I love the Tempus 1s as something for long/tempo work. They're good stable, non-supershoe option for marathons. I haven't tried the Tempus 2, however. I like the Guide 17, I've heard it's similar to the 18. It took me a some time to get used to the lower drop. They initially gave me some knee pain, but now I've used them on runs up to 13 miles without issue. Also, check out the Doctors of Running site, they have great reviews, especially when it comes to talking about stability. They also talk about a category they call stable neutral shoes, which are neutral shoes that are stable enough to be used by people who need some support.

Shoes I use and enjoy for longer runs: Topo Specter OG…haven’t tried the 2 Saucony Guide 17 Specter is smoooooooth although it feels a bit less bouncy than it did when I was a lighter runner (went from 64kg to 80kg all from swimming mass). Sometimes it’s a bit firmer now than I’d like. Overall a pleasure. Guide 17. Really roomy fit. Protective AF and soft, not much energy return. Light enough, though. Always pleasurable even going slow and steady.
