Saucony - ProGrid Guide 3

I wore the saucony guide 3's when I ran XC in high school and had zero issues. At our peak we were running 65 miles a week. So each year I just buy the previous year's model of the Guide series on Amazon. The newest version are like $160 or something but if I just get last years model they are only like $60-80. But I noticed this trend too when I recently walked into a running store and all they had were super thick cloud runners. So yeah, I get my normal "old school" style running shoes off of amazon.

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

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.

Ok that's what I ended up with after a long similar search. Saucony Guide was always my go-to for wide stability running, but they messed up that model sadly. Hoka Arahi or maybe something from Mizuno in wide?

Yes! But understand your running gate first. Note that there are various sites with great specials on shoes especially some older models. I, as an example, need a stability shoe and my go to shoe is Brooks Adrenaline GTS. If I go onto their website now they will have the latest and the previous year's model at a lower price. I've also recently purchase a pair of Saucony Guide runners and I'm supper impressed with it. I'm a huge Hoka fan but unfortunately my need for stability leans more towards what Brooks can offer me. I've also spent a few years in the the nike Zoom Structures which wasn't bad at all. I'm not a cloud fan, find them very hard but some people love them. Asics is neither good or bad - just not the brand I'll got to for stability. Happy Miles in your new journey!

Something like Brooks Adrenaline, ASICS Gel-Kayano or Saucony Guide usually works well. they’re not race shoes or anything but they give your feet some support for treadmill runs and daily steps. you could also just stick with your current shoes and add a good [arch support insole]( https://dk5cnflyn7mcb.cloudfront.net/?q=GMKAO4197). it can make a huge difference without having to buy new shoes.

I got my last year’s Saucony Guides for $90 on sale on Amazon. If you can bump up a little higher on the price range, you could find a good deal on a great shoe.

Seconding this. They’re my pick when I need to make things easier on my feet. I wear Guides when I need to be a little faster. They’re still cushioned, just not as much. Switching to these two shoes made running on an arthritic knee feasible in the long term, while I work on body recomposition.

Saucony also has a Guide model. It and the Hurricanes are both stability shoes, which you may need if you overpronate. But the best thing to do is go to a running store and get fitted. You do not want the wrong size or style of shoe for your feet and gait. It can cause problems beyond tired, uncomfortable feet.

I feel like brooks are the most comfortable but I wear saucony guide or omni (stability) and they seem to work better for me. Shoe issues are super frustrating! If you are trying a bigger shoe or wide and feel like they are roomy tie the closest shoelace hole. There is usually a a closer set than how they tie the shoes in the store traditionally. Good luck!
