I bought these in August. I really liked them the first few weeks I wore them. Was running about 8 miles a week, using them for weight lifting and also long walk with friends. However, it’s the end of October and the sole is already wearing away, I struggle with arch pain and my hips, knees and shins hurt. I am not training hard, I work out less now because I am in pain. I really liked Saucony, I have been wearing this brand for years. I can’t understand why after two months I need to buy a new pair. If you are into a shoe that breaks down easily this is the shoe for you.

Absolutely hated the height of the sole. They look like orthopedic shoes. Very disappointed since I loved my previous Saucony sneakers.

I bought this shoe a few months ago. I use tempus to run, but bought Guide for walking. Comfortable but one very big problem that I hope Saucony fixes. If there is the littlest bit of water on the road or sidewalk even after rain, the shoes are soaked in minutes because water flips up onto the toe as you walk or run. Never have this problem with any other saucony shoes. I can only use them on sunny dry days...that eliminates a lot of days in Canada.

They are very comfortable if you are running in dry weather. I live in wet climate and the toes of these shoes get super wet without even stepping in a puddle. By super wet I mean it feels like I'm jumping in puddles with socks on, wet. I didn't even make it down the block before I had to turn around to change my shoes. I guess these are an indoor shoe until summer.

The shoe is a bit awkward to get used to at first with the wide base of the sole. However the 2 stars is for the insane issue with soaking my feet while only running on damp roads. The shoe somehow channels the dampness on the road up to the very toe of the shoe and flings it into the shoe. I have no idea how but its happened on more than one occasion on roads that in no way shape or form should be getting my feet even close to wet. So if you ever plan on running on damp roads, I highly recommend avoiding these shoes. Sorry, I really wanted to love them.

Not happy with the Guide 15. It's wider in the toe box which I don't need. It's also softer, maybetoo much cushioning, I need a firmer shoe. I was very happy with the Guide 14.

I wore the guide 13 shoes for a long time and loved them. These shoes don't seem as supportive as the older model.

These shoes do not breathe at all. Even worse, on roads that are at all wet, the stride throws water back into the toe. So, you're pretty much getting blisters unless it's winter. There isn't enough baby powder in the world to make these make sense when it's hot outside.

I like the look of these shoes but after wearing them for about 4 hours they made my little toes and the side of my foot near the toe box burn and ache. I have worn Saucony's for over 8 years but I am disappointed in these. Unfortunately, I can't return them because I mistakenly wore them outside to hold the ladder for my husband so they will be going in the donation pile. I guess I will still be looking for new athletic shoes.

I loved the Guide 14 and all before them. They fit like a glove and I could always rely on them, but the changes that were made to the Guide 15 aren't impressive. They are uncomfortable. Aren't as cushioned. It's like an inflexible rock. They are suppose to be lighter but actually feel heavy with no rebound. My feet actually hurt after wearing them. I would have returned them if Saucony didn't have their no return policy.

Not the Same I've been using guides for 10 years now and this one doesn't feel right. There is a weird rubber cover on the outside of my feet (towards the ball of the foot) that makes the shoe fold weirdly as I run. This change honestly is making me want to switch away from
the shoe I've been running with my entire adult life. So frustrating. I've had 8 diff variations of the guide and this one is nothing like the others. :/ I'm so bummed.

It doesn't have the cushion and recoil I was hoping for in the forefoot which makes pounding out miles feel longer than they used to. I opted for medium stability since I'm getting older, not so much for ankle problems. I feel the shoe correcting my stride, but not sure if that's really necessary and have come to the conclusion I have picked the wrong shoe for me. I didn't think I could get a sense of what it would be like to run in without actually taking them for a run, and now I probably can't return them. It feels like your average running shoe rather than a shoe I look forward to putting on.
The shoe color was also a LOT brighter in person than I expected, and not what I would have wanted from an aesthetic aspect.

I bought these guides off of a recommendation from the shoe guide they offer on the website. At first they seemed comfortable but after 10 miles
On these shoes cause severe foot pain. I rotated to another shoe and those issues quickly fix themselves. I won't be using the guide 15s for running

you can take the top of the shoe and bend it - i need no movement like that for a condition I had - sent them back - plus they did not feel wide enough for my toe - back to HOKA wide....bottom support and width
I'd also recommend:
HOKA, New Balance

I have bought Saucony Guide for years and this is the first time I can't wear them because they hurt my feet. They specifically hurt my heels. They felt great the first couple times I wore them. It feels like the inserts move toward the heels and that is causing the issue.

I have been buying guide and Omni for years and the new fabric and style hurt my toes in the toe box. I have a narrow foot and bought reg width. I bought 2 pair of guides and an Omni. All narrow and pinch toes. Long enough and have room to the end. Just right across

Over the past 8 years I have purchased approximately 15 pairs of Saucony guide tennis shoes. This has been my go to shoe from high school cross country and pole vault practice, to running two full marathons. These shoes have been reliable so I have never felt the need to try another brand. However, this model and the guide 14s have worn out way quicker, even mostly running on roads and fine gravel. My most recent pair of the guide 15s have been the most comfortable and speedy, but have worn out after < 100 miles. These are no longer worth the money and I dread now having to look for a different brand.

The side arch interior hits much differently than in past versions. Makes it uncomfortable, for me.I haven't tried the v14 have been in these for years and last one was v13. Also was not able exchange which is disappointing.

I've had many Guides before but these ones cause me foot pain. The right shoe especially has lumps in places that cause blisters and pain. The left shoe seems to be okay with no added lumps.

I have had this shoe on once, my feet hurt so badly after wearing them I put them to the side. I had high hopes after reading reviews but no luck. Heels were not cushioned and arch support was very awkward. Would love to be able to return so not a complete waste.

I ordered this shoe in a wide, however, there was something around the toe box that caused my toes to go numb. They felt wide enough and true to size, but something caused the numbness. I wore them around the house for less than 10 minutes; the discomfort was immediate and lasting. I returned these shoes.

Saucony has changed the Guide for the worse. It does not provide the support or stability of the earlier versions. This shoe will no longer work for me.
