Guide 19

I am an over-pronator and have been doing most of my long runs (15/20km) in a pair of Brooks Adrenaline GTS 23s with no issue. I got fitted for them in my local running store 18 months ago, they were incredible and never blistered. I recently upgraded to the GTS 25s online (I had a discount code). Same size. Same brand. Same style - they rubbed like crazy and I got the same blisters you’ve shown. I went to my local shop again - they said loads of people have had issues with the 25s, and he fitted me for a new pair of Saucony Guide 19s. They’ve been amazing, no rubbing or blistering. If you over pronate, you’ll need a decent stability shoe and I highly highly recommend seeking out a decent running shop and getting a fitting. I tried body glide, I tried plasters - you can get thru it, but it will be painful. Getting a shoe that fits your foot and stride will definitely be worth it!

Just to add I over pronate - ended up with a horrible blister similar to the above that got infected after my first marathon and needed antibiotics. My most recent shoe is Saucony Guide 19s and have been very comfy. For my sins I did not get fitted via shop just did lots of research about what shoe would help. Defo recommend.

People can recommend shoes, but it might just be more waste of money. Shoes are not cheap. Best bet is go to a running shoe store and spend 20 minutes trying on shoes they recommend. I would do that and buy the pair there and then go online and find the previous year's model and buy that at a bigger discount. Stability with cushion would be something like Brooks Adrenaline or Glycerin or New Balance 860 or ASICS Gel-Kayano or Saucony Guide. If you are having foot pain custom insoles from a foot doctor would be the best bet. I had to do that after fracturing my foot twice.

Not being silly! The brooks adrenaline 24 also gave me such bad blisters on my arches. I wear the saucony endorphin speed 4s on my tempo and track days which is a “neutral” shoe and have zero issues. And I severely overpronate, my ankles roll in quite a bit. I will say on easy days I do use a stability shoe, the saucony guides. They are the most comfortable shoe I’ve put on and I don’t think the stability is super aggressive. I searched high and low for another pair of 17s to have in hand. Love them!

Try saucony guide. I find there’s not much arch poking up and it’s a wide and foamy shoe at the base so it correct pronation that way. More of a neutral stable shoe Most comfortable stability shoe I’ve found and I have really bad over pronation. Was wearing the brooks adrenaline 24 previously and got horrid blisters on my arch. No blisters with saucony

Hi everyone Looking for a bit of advice. I used to overpronate and ran my first marathon in Nike Zoom Structures. A few years later I got another gait analysis done and was told I didn’t overpronate anymore but I went with the Saucony Guide to have a bit of support still. I had another gait analysis recently and they told me there was no sign of overpronation so I bit the bullet and got a neutral shoe (new balance 1080s). However, one of my ankles does not seem to like running long distance in these. It’s fine for a short run or a speed run but the ankle seems much happier in the Guides. I now need to buy another pair of shoes as my guides have seen better days but I’m so torn on what to do. Are Guides okay for long running? I’m currently training for a marathon so this would be my marathon shoe and I can’t afford to have lots of different shoes. The guy who did my gait analysis said I shouldn’t run in support shoes as I don’t need them, but I’m finding the Guides so much better. I’m also wondering if the 1080s are perhaps a bit soft. I have Nike Pegasus 5 for when I’m running on trails and haven’t had an issue, although my runs have been shorter. Sorry I know this is very specific but I guess my question is, is it okay to stick with Guides for long distance even though I’m told I don’t need stability? Is there another shoe that is perhaps somewhere between the Guides and 1080s? I do love running in the 1080s but my ankle disagrees!! Thank you

Honestly you should go to a store. If you can't, new balance 860 or Saucony guides will be a solid all around comfortable shoe for many running styles and terrain and wider feet. 

Saucony Ride comes in wide or if you need mild stability, Saucony Guide (also comes in wide). Both shoes aren’t trendy but solid trainers. Both are firmer feeling than the nimbus but I generally think this is a good thing for young runners.
