I usually take a wide 9, but these shoes felt tighter than a wide. They seemed to rub against my little toe and bunion.

The shoes fit perfectly. What was lacking was the cushioning that some of the other Saucony have.

I have a difficult foot to fit. This shoe is comfortable; the achilles notch in the heel eliminates any slippage; the shoe feels lightweight; flexible; and looks good. The design for lacing uses a looped tunnel instead of the traditional hole punch making it a challenge to use alternate lacing patterns, such as the one used to keep the foot from sliding forward in the shoe. The toe box is slightly cramped and tapered leaving not much extra space for the toes to spread when weight is applied. The forefoot is slightly narrow and the synthetic reinforcements on the lateral aspect caused an uncomfortable amount of pressure to the 5th metatarsal. I had to score the reinforcement straps with a razor to alleviate the excessive pressure.

Sadly these are a poor shadow of the wonderful Guide 10 they are supposed to replace. The support just isn't there. As a fitness professional, I would get new shoes roughly every six months. I always knew it was about time for new shoes as my knees would start to complain. These killed my knees by the end of the first class taught, so I had to return them.

I put my faith in this shoe. I have normal arches, but my feet can spasm without proper support. I thought I needed a stability shoe, and this one came highly recommended at my running shoe store. This shoe has not helped my feet at all. The toe box seems too big and my feet, which are somewhat narrow, feel like they are swimming in there despite the very good built-in mid support. I want to love this shoe, which appears well made with good cushioning. However, it's not for my feet.

I have been getting saucony guide 10 for the past three years. I bought these iso thinking sizing would remain the same;however, disappointed that they are too large. Bought them at an outlet store and wish I would've tried a smaller size before purchasing. Overall, comfort is good, just order half size down.

I was a little disappointed in this shoe. I was looking for something with a little more stability and it just didn't give it to me. I normally where an 8.5 and it was tight... if you buy these go with a half size larger.

Have been running in Guides for years but will have to switch shoes because the new model does not fit my foot properly, too tight in the midfoot and toe box area :(

I love these shoes minus one thing. I got them 6 months ago and they totally fixed my knee pain due to over pronation BUT they don't have that many miles on them and are shot. The inside fabric on right heel just got a hole and i untie them EVERY time i out them on or take them off and the soles wore down sooo fast from road running! SO disappointed because they are absolutely the most comfortable to run in!

I have been wearing Saucony Guides for years. I have been pain free for 8 years because of these shoes. HOWEVER, the new guide ISO is too wide in the toe area. I think my big toe moves and it's giving me a blister. i would do anything to find the 8's or 9's that I love so much!! Now I feel like I have to start over looking for my go-to shoe.

This shoe keeps my feet feeling great during and after runs! My only critique is that I am pretty disappointed by the ugly color choices. Can we get this shoe in some bright colors??

This has been the worst pair of running shoes I have used from Saucony. It rubbed at my ankle leaving a mark for months and the heel was narrow and after only a few months, the padding was gone and my heel was getting blisters.

I was so disappointed. These were rated so highly, but they rub at my ankle and I bleed. I am going to have to find something else.

I ordered this shoe about 4 months ago because its was on sale. I have always loved Saucony for running and I have had 2 pairs of the ISO Triumph and loved them. So comfortable and cushy. Not this one. The right shoe hurts immensely after I run 3 miles. So, running more miles in this shoe doesn't happen. Not sure, but I think it is the way the bottom of the shoe is made on the inside. Very uncomfortable.I have tried un-lacing, re-lacing nothing helps. Have even put in inserts. Doesn't help. My foot feels so numb I have to take it off as soon as I'm done. However, I do like the color. Overall, very disappointed in this shoe.

I bought my Sausony GuideISO running shoes S10415-4 at the recommendation of my friend who runs marathons and raves about Eversole. I'm a walker, but I wanted a good solid shoe for support and proper fit. These shoes were great to begin with, but now I'm getting blisters and bleeding on my left heel. I can feel that some inner edge structure of the heel form has collapsed and has formed into a bulge that is extending within the heel bed of my shoe. I returned to the store where I purchased the shoes hoping they could reshape the bump out, as maybe they'd heard of this problem before, but the clerk merely shook his head, told me to wear better socks (if it was the sock it would be BOTH feet, and I wouldn't feel the hard bulge in the one shoe), and offered to sell me another pair of shoes. Not if they're Sauconys. Going back to non-collapsing shoes for relief.

I was looking for shoes that gave me the same comfort as the Chicago Kineta Relay shoes. These aren't it. I have worn them for a few days and each time my feet and ankles hurt. Is there another shoe that compares to the above mentioned. They are so comfortable but don't have any in my size.

The Saucony Guide ISO is my favorite tennis shoe. Comfort in every way for my feet. But this color was just too bright orange for me. They are going back to Zappos for that reason alone. Boo Hoo!

I was disappointed because unlike the prior pair of sauconys, this pair is too high around the ankle bone and I've got a blister that won't heal. I have to Wear bandaids

Runs much bigger than original Guide. Much wider and a 1/2 size longer. I would like to exchange for a smaller size but the Black is sold out and I don't like the other colors. Not sure if I will keep them. Very disappointed. Also recommend changing the shoelaces. They ones they come with are super long.

I didn't believe the reviews, had to learn for myself. These shoes are much wider in the front of the foot than the Guide 10! If I pull them tight enough to feel secure, they are puckered and lumpy in the front. I think they may work for a wider or taller foot, but mine is neither. I also don't think they have the level of support as the last version of Guide series. I'm disappointed. I have used this line for so long, I don't remember what I even wore before! They ARE nice looking, though (aside from the pucker).

People told me time and time again that Nike run shoes are not the best shoes so I took Runner's World advise and tried Saucony. I'm not sure about the other shoes but these are terrible. The sole is too hard and it feels like my feet are pounding into the pavement with every step. The consistent pounding leaves my knees sore and my shins burning after a run. I'll try putting some cushion inserts to see if that helps. If not, I'm going back to my soft cushion Nike flynits.

I loved the pro guide shoes....wore three pairs of them right out. Bought the guide iso and the shoes are not only not cushioned like the pro guide but the cushion is already failing and I have barely worn them....may have walked 30 km max in them. So disappointed in the quality and spent so much for them.
