Great looking shoe! Works well with jeans. Tired of the same old style shoe and decided to add some color. Glad I did! Comfortable right out of the box. Fit true to size.

Doesn't even make sense. Extremely light and provides as much stability as just about any other shoe I've tried. Not only that, but it has amazing cushioning in the forefoot and heel (you can confirm all this with multiple professional reviews). Makes me wonder why other brands aren't like this. The only problem I can think of that this might pose is limited durability due to the lighter materials, but I'm at 252 miles with mine and I've seen no signs of wear. They even look like I've only had them for a week. In many updates for other brands and models, you'll see almost no difference between the new and previous models; however, the Guide 4 to Guide 5 is like night and day. They've improved on pretty much every single aspect of this shoe. Why hasn't anyone else thought of that?

I am new to running, but owned Saucony shoes prior for just general tennis shoes. I was deciding between these (8mm offset), the standard 12mm offset shoe (Ride 4 I think), and the Kinvara (4mm) offset. After ordering all three, I settled on these. I really like the feel while running...it's less of a heel toe motion. It didn't take any adjustment or adaption. I had run for about 2-3 weeks on my original 12mm offset Saucony's. The Kinvara where really light, but they just didn't seem to have the same level of comfort (ie cushion)...you can't have everything. I have always had bad ITB issues. These 8mm offset shoes seemed to help. Not sure if there is any fact to it, but the lower offset does make you lean slightly more forward when running, and promotes a more midfoot strike...maybe that has something to do with the noticeable improvement in ITB pain I experienced when I switched to these shoes. Zappos is obviously wonderful to buy shoes from, so no need to review them. I would definitely buy these again, and in general have felt the Saucony brand shoes were well made.

Fantastic shoe! It relieved my arch pain allowing me to train properly for my half marathon. They are light and provide good airflow as well. Highly recommend!

Great lightweight stability shoe. The comfort and support are superb. Reduced heel drop is a plus. Too bad only one colorway comes in wide sizes.

After what seems to be an endless search for shoes that I can run in, without hurting myself, I have finally found them! Having had five surgeries on my left knee, including ACL reconstruction, it has been difficult to find one set of shoes that can do the job. These do. I was diagnosed as being an over-pronator at a running store. As it turns out, my left side is an over-pronator, my right side is neutral. These shoes offer great support and, you can't even tell you are wearing them most of the time. I will more than likely be purchasing another pair in the near future!

These are outstanding. I was coming from the Guide 3 and wanted shoes with less drop. These are totally different from the other guides in that the heel drop is far less and there is less constriction around your feet, for a more natural feel. I was a bit nervous about this but it still feels great after around 250 miles. If you are expecting the same shoes as the previous guides, these are not them; if you are expecting shoes that strike a good middle ground between minimist and regular shoes, these do the trick for me. Also, it is worth mentioning that I have had plantar fasciitis since before I got these, and I put some higher arch insoles in them and they feel great. The issue has not resolved but it has not worsened either, and I am still adding miles to my training.

Best shoe for underpronators ever. Buy a half size larger for running. Forefoot is so cushioned, the road feels like a soft track. Switched from Nike after 20 years and never looking back.

I bought these Guide 5s instead of my usual Asics because Asics decided to narrow their toe box on their shoes, making them too tight for me. These are my first Saucony running shoes and they have been great. The lower heel angle took some getting used to because it encourages more of a mid-foot strike instead of heel first. The cushioning is supportive (amazing how light the shoes are given the good support). My only caution is that they take a week or two of breaking in and getting a good fit so the sole does not slide on the somewhat slippery cushion pillow underneath the sole. The blue/citron color I got turns a lot of heads.

These are the best shoes I have ever owned. I have pronation issues when I run and these seem to have solved that problem. Right out of the box I ran 5 miles in them without blisters or aches. I was having pain to my inner knees and my ankles on long runs and these shoes have taken care of that. I am going to buy at least 2 more pairs of these before they change something on them. I would recommend these to anybody who is an avid runner because, in my opinion, there isn't a better shoe available.

I have a pair of Saucony Hurricane 12 since before and felt that I wanted a lighter, "faster" pair of shoes as well. The Guide 5 is everything I hoped for. A perfect "next step" shoe that is lighter, faster but still have good cushioning. I prefer these before my Hurricanes every day of the week. Next stop is the Kinvara 3.

What an excellent running shoe! I run between 15 and 30 miles per week, and this shoe continues to perform. It's light, supportive, helped my knee pain vanish, looks great, and never seems to get dirty. I've never worn Saucony shoes before, but I've become a huge fan! Highly recommended, I wear these everywhere.
