Customer Reviews Saucony Guide ISO

This is a great shoe overall. I have been running in Saucony Guides for seven years now and they are always very comfortable with fantastic cushioning. I run about forty to fifty miles per week - on packed dirt paths, asphalt, and beach sand. These shoes hold up very well, provide exceptional support, and my feet feel good throughout the run. I removed a star from my rating because this new version fits wider in the toe box than previous ones no matter how tightly you pull the shoe laces. Nevertheless, I still highly recommend this shoe and plan to continue buying Guide ISO's in the future.

These shoes are fine, I have only used them once for a 3.5 mile run on pavement. Actually for the first use of a pair of shoes, I'd say they are great - no pains at all in feet, calves/shins, hips, or back as I have experienced in the past with a new pair of shoes. I have run multiple marathons and used to wear Brooks Adrenaline, but they changed their shoe so much last year (and I couldn't bare purchasing at full price?? all the 17s are gone which left no option of buy an old model) that I tried the Brooks Ghost10 after actually going to a store to be fitted for a shoe. Experienced serious pains in my right foot and shin on that shoe - averaging 20-30mi/wk. This year I received a suggestion of this shoe, so I waited until the new model came out to purchase at discounted price - score! I am not training right now, so running is very minimal, maybe 3-6mi/wk. The shoes are in no way broken in, but like I said very smooth transition to this shoe so I anticipate it will provide good support and cushion for many miles to come. It did take a little getting used to the ISO (I think this is what it is) so the lacing really forms to your foot, I never noticed my other shoes lace so rigidly around my foot but these ones can be tighter near the toes and looser on the arch or whatever you need for your foot - kind of interesting and takes time to figure out. I got the white and blue ones, not my favorite but they look fine.

For me to get use to the ISO, which I was told is the exact shoe as the Guide 10, with upgrade on material only on the upper as I was told, I'm not sure just yet. I think I need to wear them a bit longer. Thus far, its different then the Guide 10.

I have had three pair of Guides. All of them have gotten me through multiple races: 5ks 10ks and half's. I was super excited that the ISO finally had a new style. I like the laces and the fact that they are a tighter fit. I did first buy my regular size 9 and I was supremely disappointed with the fit. My foot was moving around like crazy and it was uncomfortable. I tried a half size smaller and they were just as I hoped.

Background: - This was my first pair of Saucony shoes in which I've done a lot of running. I've mostly worn Brooks, but wanted something new. I tried the Omni once, but they were not well-fitting. - I've worn these for distances up to a full marathon. Pros: - Really comfortable! Several reviews I read describe them as "fitting like a sock," and I have to agree. The cushioning is great. - The most lightweight stability running shoe I've found! - They look pretty stylish for running shoes, especially the black ones! Cons: - Took a few runs to break in. They "fit like a sock" after . they're broken in, but after my first couple of runs, my feet felt like they'd pounded on pavement wearing just socks. - Poor water resistance. When running in light drizzle to moderate rain, my shoes (and socks) get soaked through within minutes just from the rainfall. Other road running shoes I've had are more impervious to rain, as long as I don't splash through many deep puddles. These also feel like they have less traction when running on a watery surface.

This is a great shoe, but it'd be terrific if Saucony offered more than one color option for those of us who need a wide size (perhaps one neutral color and one dark). I wear an 11D and just don't like the fog/purple/mint color, which is the only wide option. I'd love to have the black in my size.

I am 51 years old, 250 pounds. I just stared to get establish a workout habit which consist of walking almost everyday. I've decided to do for five Cays in the next 3 months. I received my first pair of Saucony as a Christmas gift. My feet feel great and my back has stopped hurting!! The right shoes makes all the difference!!!!

I've been wearing this shoe for a while and although it's the best I could find, it can still be improved in two ways: 1) I wish the toebox was a bit wider (the reason I started buying Saucony over 30 years ago was their characteristically roomy toebox). 2) I wish the sock lining wouldn't wear out (the last few pairs have developed holes - with this pair it was in the heel area).

I love these shoes in terms of comfort but I really wish they would last longer, they always end up wearing out in the heel very quickly as well as on the sides. Style is okay. I would be a consistent buyer of saucony if only they lasted longer so I will be seeking another brand. I can't buy $120 shoes every few months.

First off, this is a nice looking shoe. I really wanted to love the shoe, but I just can't get the lacing to feel right. My right foot is either sliding around or goes numb. Very bizarre. Because I don't feel like I can run confidently in these, I have to knock a couple of stars off.

I love this brand and I've been wearing this particular model for years. Unfortunately, I do feel the sizing is off, I feel this shoe runs small. I completed a long run in this shoe and it simply did not work for me. I wish I could return the shoe.

Love the looks of this shoe. It is only comfortable for casual wear. It doesn't have enough support for walking or jogging. It was a great price and I love wearing it for errands and such.

I was disappointed in my recent purchase of the Guide ISO. I have been wearing them since Guide 8 and miss my Guide 10 the most. The new ISO did not fit true to size. I have always worn a size 8 however the iso 8 felt like a wide 9. Waiting to see if I like the 7.5. Did love the new colors Still a Saucony fan!

I was told it is the same sneaker as the Guide 10. Returned the first pair, too big. Tried a second pair and I don't feel the support as I had i the Guide 10. I tried another pair as well, still the same feel. All I own is Saucony but am now going to see if I can find another shoe that may give me what the Guide 10 gave me in support and stability. :(
