I recently purchased this shoe to replace my Saucony Progrid Guide 4. I have to say that I love both. I think this new version has a more gradual offset which is better than the Guide 4. I love to run in Saucony shoes and was hesitant to go to the latest model but I was not disappointed. I am training for a half marathon and my feet never hurt afterward.

1. What I missed in the picture and video was how the back part of the shoe comes up in two points. Not all Sauconies do this. It was too high and it rubbed it. Good looking and nice style though. 2. It fit really well as a wide shoe. I highly recommend it if doesn't bother your ankle area.

I love these shoes. I am not a runner but am a walker and these shoes perform exceptionally well for me. They are lightweight and very comfortable with some stability that I need. I continue to buy Saucony because of the comfort and fit. For walking shoes I do size up 1/2 size.

: For my 5th pair of Saucony running shoes, I was really disappointed in these. Hard, uncomfortable, and almost painful. They are the correct size and felt good the first time I put them on. After walking around for a day, my heels and feet ached. This never happens to me- not even when I'm wearing heels! Because I wore them outside, the return policy is voided and I'm stuck with them. I bought these after reading reviews on Zappos and in Runner's World magazine. So much for running the 10mile race in May wearing these... Back to Nike I go... Save your money... these aren't worth it!

Have been wearing the 2100 series from ASICS for several years and love them. Just thought I would try these and they are super light and airy. Very comfortable I have had them now for about 2 months. Will see how they hold up. Have really bad foot problems and need comfortable shoes. These have great padding where I need it. And of course Zappos is the only place to get great service. Thank you.

Incredibly, incredibly comfortable. I've been pretending to be a semi-serious runner for a few years now and these shoes by far are the most comfortable I have run in. Although I liked my previous Asics (which my more serious runner friends rave about). I find these hands down to be more comfortable for both running and walking.

I went to a local store and they didn't have my size but I knew I wanted this shoe. Rather than buy it in another color I ordered it from Zappis and it arrived quickly. I love it.

I have been wearing Saucony running shoes for many years, and this shoe is the best one yet. The first time I ran in them, it felt like I had been wearing them for months. Great shoe!

You just can't go wrong with saucony shoes! I keep going back to this brand-always comfy.

I purchased these shoes to replace my Progrid Guide 4s - which I absolutely love. I was hoping they would simply be the new model; however, they are completely different. The toe box feels wider than the 4 and the arch is far flatter. It seems to be a half size bigger than the Guide 4. If you are considering the Guide 5 because you loved the higher arch on the Guide 4, then I do not recommend you purchase this shoe. I wore them with custom orthotic inserts and the arches were still way too low. It is a decent looking shoe and is not uncomfortable but just isn't a true replacement for the Guide 4.

I got this shirt for my dad, who is big and he absolutely loves it. I liked how the colors were very University of Michigan like and felt he needed something to wear when he goes to games, but also get a little more bold colors in his wardrobe. He rocks it pretty often, so I know he likes it.
