These shoes are awesome. My last pair of Saucony lasted forever so of course they stopped making that style. I tried on a ton of shoes from adidas to Nike. I finally found these and I love them. Comfortable ride, nice wide toe box, I have had no issues with them on my runs. The color is a bit crazy but the others were to conservative. Great shoe, I recommend it.

A poor successor to the Guide 10. Overall clunky and too-wide toe box. Back to Zappos. It's a miss by Saucony.

This Saucony in wide is NOT very wide. Will try a half-size up, but the toe box and mid-foot are both tight, especially the toebox, for a shoe marked wide.

The toe box on this version of the sneaker is wonderful . It is much more rounded in its shape , which for me is much more comfortable and much more roomy .
I am so pleased with this sneaker ,I’m going to order a second pair .

Love this show. I have narrow heels and bunions and this shoe fits well in both places. The toebox is soft enough that it doesn’t aggravate. The arch support is a bit weak but insert is removable so I can use my own insets. Ordered a second pair after a couple of months.

Comfortable, cute. I have plantar fascitis. These shoes don't hurt my feet. They have a removable insole, so I can use my orthotic.

This shoe has really helped with my overpronation and thus puts no pressure on my bunion. It feels stable through the gait. I mainly walk several miles a day in them.

I always order a half size up for running shoes, and never have any issues. These shoes immediately rubbed the sides of my big toes upon trying on. Unfortunately, I returned.

I have bought at least 5 pairs of the Guide Series shoes over the last few years. I loved them! Especially because I could get them in a Narrow width. With the new design of the Guide ISO they are no longer offered in narrow. Because I loved the old Guide Series shoes I bought them anyway. I hate them. They are too long, way to wide and overall, uncomfortable. Come on Saucony - bring back the old Guide Series.

I have exclusively used Saucony sneakers for years. I have wide feet and these have always fit and been supportive. The Guise ISO is narrow and tight. Not a fan. Was sad to have to return.

I have worn 2-3 different Guide #s - each time in an 8W. These shoes don't fit like the others. They seem to weigh about the same but have noticeably less arch support and less cushion than my worn out Guide 7s. The ISO seems much wider in the toe box, and longer - I think it runs just shy of a half size bigger. I'm not impressed enough to exchange for a smaller size due to the arch support, which is the #1 reason I have chosen these shoes again and again in the past.

I've been running in the Guides since the 5, and since I overpronate pretty badly they're the only shoes I've been able to run comfortably in. I haven't always loved the various changes to the Guide over the years, but I was so impressed with the first pair of ISOs I bought earlier this year. They were the first pair of shoes that never ever gave me blisters, and they were comfortable for a 5-mile run right out of the box. Over longer distances and marathon training, they performed well, and the tweaks that Saucony made between the 10 and the ISO made a huge difference in my comfort and support level throughout the process. In short, I was in love, and knew I had found my unicorn shoe.
I had to get a new pair of shoes within the last month since I put about 600 miles on that pair of ISO's, so I went ahead and got the ISO2's. Out of the box, it was one of the most painful experiences I've ever had running -- I bought an 8M, my usual size, and the toe box was so narrow and tight that my two big toenails ended up dead after two runs! The shoes were tight around the balls of my feet as well, which wasn't something I was used to with the Guides. My long run that week was terrible, and I returned the shoes (via Amazon), got a refund, and was SO RELIEVED to find that Saucony still sells the ISO on its website. I may have to buy all of the remaining pairs they have, because I'm now totally spooked about buying a pair of ISO2's -- if I do, I'll have to buy half a size up, but I'm still worried that the fit will be too tight in that narrow toebox. Saucony, please please PLEASE do not discontinue the ISO, as I am sure I'm not alone in loving this shoe to pieces! Thank you, and thank you for many happy years of running in the past and hopefully the future :-)

Struggling with plantar fasciitis. The stability of this shoe gave me comfort to continue my routine as my foot heals. This will become my go-to Saucony model.

Comfortable shoe right out of the box. Nice toe room for the old bunions and love the color. This pair of shoes didn't disappoint, been wearing Saucony's for years.

The Guide has good arch and heel support, yet is flexible enough to be comfortable running and jumping. I have worn these shoes for marathons, short races, and everyday wear and they are comfortable for all of that. And the style looks good! The outer sole and heel are sturdy, and last for at least 600 running miles, and many more for walking. I have never been more satisfied with an athletic shoe as I am with these.

I bought this pair on line to replace a pair I had gotten from a store that personally fits shoes to your feet. My foot is on the narrow side. I liked that first pair and am happy with these. Very comfortable.

The shoes is truly awesome, I came to the store limping with IT band pain. This shoe came highly recommended. I have not had any pain since wearing them. I have bought the exact shoes again. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
