How far have they fallen?

Anonymous runner · Jul 4, 2019

2/5

Overall

The Guide 10 is nothing like it's predecessors. They are uncomfortable, low quality, blister your ankles, and look slow. I can't even rate the durability because I retired them to the trash before they even wore out. Saucony has been my favorite brand for many years but don't waste your money on these.

Great for over pronation. Can get 300-500 miles out of the shoe in most cases.

Great shoe

Anonymous runner · Feb 15, 2018

Overall

This shoe is fantastic, its not too heavy and has a good amount of cushion. I typically bust out of the sides around 500 miles but I've taken a pair to 800 miles when I've been short on cash.
