Customer Reviews Saucony Guide 16

I usually wear a 7 in sneakers, but a 7.5 is the perfect fit here. Very cushionary. This is my 2nd pair. Love them.

Not sure why Saucony decided to narrow the toe box for Guide 16. They are not only narrower than other Saucony wides, but they are even more narrow than my old medium-width Guides! I am returning these and swapping for a Guide 15, which fit much better.

Too wide and too short, not like the guide 15.

I put in my own orthotics and they are very comfortable

I used to love Saucony, but I haven't found a pair that fit the way the old ones did in a long time and these, unfortunately, are the same. I have some arthritis and bone spurs around the joint connecting my toe to my foot, so granted, I have unique needs. BUT these just don't have enough room in the toe box. The laces, even at their loosest, press right against my feet. So, nope. Had to send them back. Happy to report I have found a pair of Brooks that I love and am keeping. Sorry, Saucony!

True to size fit.

These are not a support shoe at all. It is so flimsy, you can fold it in half. There is no ankle bar or firm support, but my ankles just squish in them. So I had to return them back. I will only order true support shoes or motion control, as some support shoes are really made as such.

Need several pair to wear for 3 mile daily and 6-8 mile every other day walks. Usually wear 7 in a street shoe, purchased 7.5. Length okay, had about a thumb's width; left shoe looks slightly shorter. Toe box not as round as pictured, too pointy and narrow and fabric a bit skimpy. Heel slips. Medial instep sags. Did not like the guiderails; uncomfortable. Skinny poly shoelaces look a bit cheap. Left shoelace fabric placement looks different than right side. Maybe got a wonky pair? Hoped this shoe would work, but actually feels a bit unstable, maybe sits too high. Previous favorite Saucony style worn was the Liberty ISO 4mm drop, which of course was discontinued. Will look for shoe like that with more of a ground feel and lower heel drop 4-6mm.

First these shoes arrived in an unmarked plain box inside a bag. I found this to be odd as I have never received a pair of shoes from Zappos not being in the original brand box. It made me question as to whether they were a display, maybe returned prior without the box, the box damaged and couldn't be used or if the shoes were used. As for the fit and feel of the shoes: they both felt too big and too small. The length was too long and the even though they were wide they felt too narrow and smooshed my pinky toe. I wore them around the house thinking maybe after a little while they would feel better but they did not. This was first time trying this brand and will be my last. I not a big tennis shoe fanatic but for the price I expect them to at least be shipped in the correct box and if labeled wide to actually be a wide. If you have a narrow foot (mine isn't even technically a wide) and don't care or question a plain brown box these shoes may work for you.

Zero support. I'm really getting frustrated trying on shoes that are described as supportive but clearly are not. It's a full time job just finding the right shoe. I am flat footed and have ball of the foot and heal pain and weak ankles so I need a very supportive shoe. This is definitely not it.
