I have plantar fasciitis, and I walk every day, so I need a shoe that is comfortable and has plenty of cushioning under my foot. I had an old pair of Saucony shoes I loved, but they were discontinued. In fact, I had had 3 identical pairs of those old ones, I loved them so much. I called customer service and asked which of the new models was closest to that old one, and this one was recommended. Voil. Heaven on my feet. I ordered another identical pair to keep as back-up. Then when they went on sale, I ordered two more back-up pairs. THAT'S how much I love them.

Love them! Comfortable fit. I got them before I went on a weekend getaway. I did a lot of walking and they felt great. Love the color too. Its hard to find a black sneaker these days.

Very happy with these. I typically switch between New Balance and Saucony for my running shoes. I've run in them twice now with zero issues. I have wide feet and high arches; these are very comfortable and affordable for Saucony.
I'd also recommend:
New Balance

This is my go-to training shoe. I size up 1 to 1/2 sizes to accommodate my orthotics and to be sure I have plenty of room in the toe box.
The options for cinching up at the ankle are multiple. I can train on roads or maintained trails with confidence.
Color options and styling are secondary to fit and support but for actraining shoe these are fine!

These shoes are attractive and feel great. I feel they run a little wide. I ordered these due to severe over pronation, time will tell if they are supportive enough to keep my foot where it's supposed to be

I have been wearing the Guide 10 for a few pairs of shoes in a row now, and was hesitant to purchase this shoe without trying it on first. It feels identical, however, so if you love the 10, this shoe is the right replacement.

These Saucony's are very comfortable with plenty of cushioning for long pumps on the pavement and/or beach walks. So happy to find them since my old stand by running shoe has gotten smaller in the past couple of years.

I love these shoes so much I'm back on to buy another pair! They are like clouds to walk on yet give great support. My feet have a tendency to pronate and at first these felt weird--like there was something not painfully, just WEIRDLY under my arch when it tried to do its habitual inward roll. But having worn them for a while now, the fit no longer feels weird, just very supportive and my foot feels very secure in the shoe.
Only area I'd ding, and that's really a matter of taste--the color options are not my favorite. I have the "Vizi Red/black" and they are really more of what I'd describe as "neon salmon." That took some getting used to. I kind of rejoiced every time they got a little dirtier and were less like a glowing beacon of radioactive pink.

Comfortable and light but with good control. My only negative comment is I got it in black for the first time and it turned my white socks black on the first run.

I am not a runner, but a nurse who spends 10hrs /day on her feet. A runner recommended these shoes as a comfortable shoe with great stability. I agree. I have high arches, a narrow heel, and post bunion surgery. This shoe gives the support I need in the arch and ample room in the toe box. I had to get used to the "overpronator" design. I do pronate, but have never had a shoe that corrects for it. Overall I think these were a good choice.

This show is just what I wanted. I have a wide foot with a bunion and the wide Saucony has always worked for me.

I loved the Guide 8 and 9 but the 10 was too snug, even going up a size and the wide version was too wide everywhere. The Guide ISO is perfect for me - the toe box is wider and the shoe hugs the narrower mid-section of my foot just right without being too constricting. It's super light weight and just so comfortable!! Saucony, you nailed this one! Please don't change it!!

I have run a few half marathons in my day, but recently have found while training for my next half that I've been getting him splints! After some research, I found these shoes and boy am I glad I did! No shin splints, total comfort. They're a bit firmer than I'm used to, but maybe that's what I needed. Very sturdy shoes with great ankle support. They also make great cross training shoes - I wear them every day to the gym!

I love the look of the shoe, particularly the grey/mint/orange colors. I purchased because the toe box seemed wider than other shoe brands. Unfortunately, the toe box was not wide enough for me. That is the only reason that I returned the shoes.

I was a huge fan of the Guide 9 and bought every pair I could (but now they're all wearing out). I was a little skeptical about trying the ISO due to some of the negative reviews, but for me and my situation (wide feet, pronation, finding the Superfeet berry inserts that address plantar fascia issues useful) the ISO is fine. My inserts fit, the shoe felt good (and I probably benefit from the wider toe box that some unhappy consumers didn't like). Honestly, aside from some styling differences, these didn't feel notably different from the Guide 9s. Put them on and ran 3 miles, no problem.

these shoes have been a life saver. As a beginner running I was having issues with my shoes moving around and not providing much support. I was fitted for these shoes and they have changed the game for me. They help stabilize my feet as I've stretched out my foot tendons from various sprains over the years and provided comfort and style as well. The shoe fit is great, it hugs my foot perfectly without being too tight and is still breathable. I normally wear and 8.5 in women's but was fitted into a 7.5 for these. I've ran two 5ks in these shoes with two more coming up and I feel confident these shoes will not let me down.
I've gotten many compliments and recommended these shoes to almost everyone. Give them a shot and you will not be disappointed.

I have been a long time fan of the Guide series. This one isn't quite as good as the 10, but still an excellent shoe. The difference is in the styling. It just doesn't look as sleak, and also it doesn't have that "thingy" on the tongue that the laces thread through to hold the tongue in place. But as usual for this series, they have a great toe box, and great support under the heel. I bought the equivalent Brooks shoe, just to try something different, and returned it because of lack of support in the heel.
