Customer Reviews Saucony Guide 14

I've been wearing Guides for years with pretty consistent performance, but I've only been running in these shoes for 2.5 months at 10-15 miles a week and the sides of the soles are already so worn down it looks like I've been wearing them for a year (terrain hasn't changed for the past few years). Have also had some pretty crazy and persistent knots around the ball/toes in both feet since wearing these which has never happened before, although the shoes themselves are comfortable to wear. I guess there's something different about these than the previous Guide versions. Would still recommend them to someone else, though, if they don't overpronate, assuming that the wear on the soles would be better spread across them.

Did not even last one month. Outside sole wore off after first run!

Not as great as I expected! Tried these on in a running store and they felt so comfy and cushiony but am not having the same experience after ordering them online. Runs seem sluggish and slow and my toes feel cramped for some reason. Really wanted to love these...

Bought them for retail work. Fabric around the big toe area is way too thin and not durable. Whole in big toe area in both shoes. Got bigger by the week. Cut and filed toe nails from the top, sides and ends to the nubs. Good heel protection for heel runners, heel walkers and hard surfaces. Not good for heel to toe walkers. Not good for narrow feet either. Sliding issues no matter the different ways I laced them or how tight I tie them. Was definitely not worth the price. Had to save up for these. Regrets all around.

No arch support. After a day of wearing them my feet hurt. I am a runner and I will not be wearing them for a run again.

I have neuropathy so I cannot wear these as they are too tight and hurt my feet-I wore them for just a few hours to go to a symphony. They are beautiful shoes but I now can't wear them and I stepped in something so I probably can't return them now.

The toe box is not holding up on these at all and ive been wearing saucony for over 10 years. Very disappointed.

I wanted to love these shoes. I ordered a pair of 7.5 which is my regular size and although they were the right length and width, it felt as if the insole wasn't quite wide enough for the platform of the shoe and my big toe kept falling off the insole on the platform. So I ordered a pair of 8 and the arch placement was wrong for my feet. I returned both pairs. I get pain in my ankles when shoes don't keep them stable and these shoes relieved the pain. I also have pain in my one of my big toes and those shoes were stiff enough to relieve it. So I was really disappointed that the 7.5 pair I got was either defective or had poor design. I would have ordered a new pair but I am still waiting for the refund.

I have purchases several pairs of Guides and went through about 3 pairs of the 13s. I just got my Guide 14s and the toe box way to narrow. I am nervous to try the same shoe and wide and have it be too big and lets face it, it is not offered is as many fun colors. I thought about trying the Hurricanes but in the past my knees hurt with those.

I bought these after owning two other pairs of Guides that I loved (I think one was a 12) and these just aren't quite the same. After about 2 miles, my pinky toes go numb every time I wear them. I've tried lacing/tying them differently and they seem to fit well, but nothing has helped. They're also incredibly noisy and squeak with every single step I take, which is very annoying and also a little embarrassing. I wish I had realized they weren't going to work before I wore them for runs outside.

I have been wearing Saucony's since 2017 when I switched from Asics. I loved them until the 14's. I have never had knee pain running and these shoes caused both my knees to have sharp pain shooting through them, I couldn't even make it 4 miles so I had to return them. I found 13's on clearance through another online retailer and bought those instead. I hope Saucony fixes the Guide 14 cause once these 13's I found on clearance wear out, I'm going to be forced to find a new brand of running shoe:( However, I will give an extra star in my review for all the fun new colors to choose from.

I've been running in saucony guides for 10 years. 3 pair every year. The redesigns throw me off but I have always adjusted, until this shoe. I haven't loved them this entire training cycle but I ran my 30th marathon yesterday and my feet were the only issue and they still hurt today. The difference between 13 and 14 is shocking. Maybe I'll try them again some with some new model but I am finished with this shoe.

I liked the feeling of the guides previously. I've purchased them for a few years now. I'm not thrilled with this one.

I run in the Guide 13, and I purchase the Guide 14 as I assumed the Guide 13 would be no longer available for purchase forthcoming. The Guide 14 in comparison, is less supportive than the Guide 13. The Guide 14 also has a much larger heel tongue height and I have had trouble with Brooks in the past for this same reason, the rubbing of the heel tongue causes blisters. I was hoping it would be a great new design, as I have been running in Saucony shoes for years now.

They are not as comfortable as I hoped. I might be sending them back if they don't break in better.

I have been wearing Guides for a long time and these are very similar to the Guide ISO 2 which I did not like. Last years model was back to normal (made me very happy) and they changed it again this year to the model I do not like. They hurt the balls of your feet, no cushioning. I had to quit wearing the Guide Iso 2 because of too much pressure on balls of my feet which affected my toe. Maybe I can trade these in for a different model? Why do companies have to change shoes that work great?

these feel different than the Guide 13, less structure and stability in the front of the shoe... almost feels too wide, disappointed as I always loved the Guide fit

I really like the support this shoes provides at the bottom. However, the material is the worse I ever seen on any shoes I ever owned. I got those just over 6 months ago with minimal use. My Sholes of the shoes are in good condition, bit I can't wear these anymore because there is a hole on the top of the material. These are expensive shoes. I didn't expect from these. I have my asics for 2 years and still in good condition. I am so disappointed. Not worth the money at all. Don't buy this and save your money

They seemed very poor quality. I didn't like the fit as well.

I was dissapointed with this shoe. I loved my guide 13 so I naturally purchased the newer version. Well the footbed is not as fitted as the guide 13, i had alot of movement inside the shoe, my feet felt like the top of them were broken they actually hurt so bad. I had to return.

The new guides are really hurting my feet and are different from the old guide 9 that I love. Can I send these back? They have been worn
