Have done 3 training and happy to announce that have got stable and cozy runners for narrow and low foot sole (don't read that the model is narrow but the upper material has a nice stretch for narrow/low foot).

These shoes are great! I had 5 different pairs of the Guide 13's and this is my first pair of the 14's and I have to say that I like them even more. They are perfect for running my mileage in!

Sizing guide using previously owned / other brand shoes worked very well. I bought a size 14 for my son and it fit perfectly and he loves them. They provide good support (he has pronation), so we are very happy, especially as we bought "blind" on-line

My first run in the shoe was 5 miles at an easy pace with 4 X 1 minute strides at the end. My first impressions of the shoe was an soft feeling upon landing on the heel, a smooth transition to the forefoot and a surprisingly responsive feeling during toe off. The TPU guidance frame did not feel obtrusive at all. I was pleased with how light they felt on my feet. I'll put them in the rotation for long interval and tempo days. Great update. I didn't run in the 13's but did run in the previous 3 Guide models.

A little pricey, but are top notch quality. Get what you paid for. I have a wider foot and appreciate the toe box design of this shoe.

I've only run in a few of the previous models of the Guide, including the Guide 13, but this new model of the 14 is my favorite so far.
TL;DR: The fit is better than the Guide 13, the feel is springy and not too soft, the stability is just right as a moderate stability shoe, and the outsole is durable and grippy.
For fit: My foot runs wide, and the updated fit of the Guide 14 seems better than the 13s. I had a wide width in the Guide 13 and that was still too narrow midfoot. Not an issue for me here. The upper material is comfortable and forgiving.
For feel: This, for me, is the perfect blend of springy, energetic, and just enough softness. I've worn stability shoes from other top running brands and they were both just too soft for me. If you're looking for a plush ride, maybe look at the Hurricane. Even at an over 10.5oz weight, this shoe has responded well at various paces for me. Saucony's PWRRUN foam is probably my favorite among the top 4 running brands.
As for the stability components, the TPU Guidance Frame works really well for me. It reminds me of the traditional stability postings we used to see in older stability shoes. I'm one of those people that still responds well to something like a posting because of the way I overpronate. Things like Guiderails or J-Frames don't really work for me in the same way. But, of course, everyone is different and responds better to different types of stability.
Other things I like: Additionally, I live in northern Minnesota, so I've been running on slick and cold surfaces. The outsole has much more grip than I thought it would, handling ice and snow patches pretty well. And, in the 0-10 degrees F range, the midsole doesn't feel stiff. After over 50 miles in these, I've found no wear on the outsole and these will stay in my rotation as my favorite everyday running shoe. As a moderate stability trainer, I think this is the best one out there.
Oh, and the color/design is not awful at the wider width. Kudos, Saucony.

I have a collapsed arch on my left foot, and mildly over pronate. I tried on several shoes. The Brooks adrenaline, Hoka, etc. These were the shoes that felt absolutely perfect on my feet. Second run in them I didn't see a pothole coming. I rolled my ankle...which is usually a one or two month injury for me. The shoes held nice and tight... limited the amount of weight I had coming down on the ankle. Never swelled up much, was able to walk 3 miles the next day and I'll be running in a week.
Aside from this, the shoes feel so light and springy for a stability shoe. The cushioning is perfect. Every company has their new gimmick to sell... but I can tell you this shoe is perfection for my needs...and it is the only one at the store that could correct my striking effectively.

This is my first Saucony shoe after using Nike, Asics, Adidas ultraboost for several years and needless to say I really loved it. Great in terms of overall comfort. The color is bit of brighter than what I thought, but that's fine with me for now.

I have some of the flattest feet on the planet and over-pronate like it's going out of style but these have helped accommodate my unfortunate tendencies. I easily have over 100+ miles in these now and they are still extremely comfortable, especially considering it's a stability shoe. As I'm working towards the build of my first marathon, I'm noticing my feet start to drag towards the end of my long runs, yet they don't as much when I use a competitor shoe that's a couple ounces lighter. I see the Guide 15 is a bit lighter, I'll definitely give it a shot when the price comes a bit and am really stoked to give the Tempus a try. Overall, love the shoe, just wish it was slightly lighter.

Feels great after a couple runs! Initially I found my ankle rolling a bit but that could be more me than the shoe. It's been fantastic after the initial round.

A little tight, but otherwise very good. I always wear size 11 but these were a little tight in the front. I had a couple of calluses under the pinky toes of both feet after the first few wears. A size 11 wide or 11.5 would have been ideal for me.

Exactly what I expected from the Guide line of shoes over the years. Great comfort and support. Wish the design team would be more innovative with their styling and color choices.

Love this shoe! I switched from the Mizuno Wave Inspires because the Mizunosxsre not comfy at all anymore. This shoe is springy and I LOVE that Saucony provides more than just one color option for those of us with wide feet.

This is my 7th pair of Guide sho. Very good shoes. Only dislike is that they tend to erode or tear in same location which is along medial malleolus side of the collar lining. All have done same thing

Saucony makes a great running shoe, and I have worn them many years. They have good support for someone who tends to roll their foot inward. I have gotten a lot of running miles out of them before they start to wear out. Being a high school cross country runner, these shoes served me well during my season. For the style, 3 stars, color combinations not great (maroon and light pink bottom with neon stripe). Odd colors.

I love this shoe, but I had to subtract one star because it's just a tad too snug on my foot to run in, both in width and length. It looks sharp (in plain gray), so I use it as a casual shoe around town. The previous version (Guide 13) fit me perfectly and is my favorite everyday trainer, but for whatever reason, this version shrunk a little.

My everyday runner. I wear them all the time and started wearing them to work. They make my walking commute much better too. I had the black black 13s with the black soles. I wish the 14 could come in black/black

I have been running in Guides since generation 5, almost always buying two pairs to switch throughout the week. The Guide 14s give me the same stability, snug fit at the heel, and a comfortable toe box like all previous models. I think the design could be fresher, but that is not a big issue. I noticed, however, that since the last or last two generations the Guides have less cushioning. I am directly comparing three generations that I have (yes, I know, they change over hundreds of miles), but #14 is definitely less cushioned overall. That makes them maybe a bit more responsive, but I realize that my forefoot does not roll as smoothly anymore. At the end of longer runs, I hear that "flop, flop" when the foot does not roll off well enough anymore. Never had that with any of my pre13 Guides. That does not affect pronation, or stability, it does, however, stresses my muscles more.
