Saucony Guide 18 Support Road Running Shoe Cloud Black

Saucony Guide 18 Supprtive Road Running Shoe.

The Guide 18 is Saucony's core maximum cushioning training shoe. Built for comfort and protection, the Guide 18 is a cushioned everyday trainer that combines our soft and responsive PWRRUN foam with our exclusive Center Path Technology that keeps the foot centered and supported to deliver a best in class underfoot experience by maintaining a standard centerline, increasing the height of the sidewalls and building it on a rocker shape to ease toe off.

The Saucony Guide 18 is a road running shoe designed for runners who need a touch of stability without sacrificing cushioning or comfort. It's a daily trainer that provides a guided, natural-feeling ride. The shoe is a subtle update to the Guide 17, which was a major redesign, and is built around Saucony's innovative Center Path Technology.

• Maximal Cushioning shoes have a broad base geometry where the foot sits deep inside a stable platform resulting in an exceptionally well cushioned ride but one that also provides protection and inherent support
• Featuring Center Path Technology, asymmetric geometry that centers the foot from lateral crash through toe off to provide a more consistent, balanced and supportive experience
• Plenty of soft and responsive PWRRUN foam underfoot for smooth and comfortable miles and ultimate protection
  
  

Key Benefits:

• Subtle, Non-Intrusive Stability: The core benefit is its stability features, which are designed to guide the foot rather than force it. Unlike traditional stability shoes with a firm medial post, the Guide 18 uses Saucony's Center Path Technology. This combines a broader platform, higher sidewalls that cradle the foot, and an asymmetrical profile to naturally guide the foot through its gait cycle, preventing excessive overpronation in a more fluid, less noticeable way.

• Balanced and Cushioned Ride: The shoe features a PWRRUN foam midsole, which provides a cushioned and protective feel underfoot. It's not a maximalist plush ride like the Triumph, but it offers a firm enough base to feel stable and responsive enough to pick up the pace, making it versatile for a range of runs from easy days to longer efforts.

• Smooth and Efficient Stride: The Guide 18 has a rockered geometry, which helps promote a smooth and effortless transition from heel to toe-off. This design helps to keep the foot moving forward efficiently, which can reduce fatigue over long distances and make the shoe feel more responsive.

• Comfortable and Secure Fit: The shoe's redesigned upper is made of a breathable engineered mesh that provides a secure lockdown. The padded heel collar and tongue add to the comfort, and the overall fit is accommodating, with a roomy toe box that allows the foot to splay naturally.

• All-Day Versatility: Due to its comfortable and supportive nature, the Guide 18 is not just for running. It's also a great option for walking, standing for long periods, or other all-day wear. The combination of comfort and stability makes it a solid choice for a wide variety of activities.
