I've been using this shoe since 2008. The first time I purchased it was before my first marathon and I've used it ever since

Overall

I have been wearing Saucony shoes for years, both the Guide and the Omni. I also own several racing shoes and I find Saucony to be far and away the most comfortable and best performing shoe brand. I put many miles and workouts on my Guide 5's. I utilize a variety of surfaces; grass, roads, cinder track and modern track. I use a variety of paces and also incorporate uphills and downhills with a high percentage of flat. I also attempt to switch road sides when possible to balance the camber. My body feels as if the Saucony shoes are a biomechanical match and I have virtually no issues with discomfort or injury.
