Customer Reviews Saucony Guide 16

I LOVE the Guides and I will probably never wear another kind! Lightweight, great stability. This is my fourth pair of Guides and I absolutely love them. My only complaint is that the shoe laces are never long enough. All of my shoes slip on my heels and I have to tie them a special way. When I do this, Im only left with 2 to tie a bow. I know I could buy other laces, but I love Sauconys colors and they always stay tied! Please make longer laces!!!

Well, I did like the cushion and the support of the shoe. The whole platform of the shoe is way too spread out. It was like running in a clown shoe for me.

They are a nice shoe just not as comfortable as I thought they would be. Light weight. I also don't feel like there is any arch support.

I love this brand, but these weren't as comfortable as similar shoes. They also wear easily and are hard to keep clean.

The color is not as shown on website (burnt orange), they are more of a mauve/wine color. They are very comfortable, I returned them for a different color.

I have been wearing this line of shoes for several years and just replaced my Guide 14 with these and I am not happy with whatever changes have been made to this newest edition. My feet are not loving these; my new orthotics will be ready soon and I hope they will make them more tolerable. I stand for 10+ hours a day and overall have more foot pain and some irritation to my smallest toes with these. There seems to be a difference in the toe box or the structure along the side.

These are much more narrow than previous version of Guide and the arch placement feels a bit off. Definitely not as comfortable as I was expecting

I bought a month ago. Love the style and color.. they seem to not be very cushioned in the ball of the foot.. great heal support but not so much in the ball of the foot/toe area

They run a little small but otherwise i really like them.

I've worn for years and loved but not lately. Since model change toe box gets soaked with any wet pavement. Also the arch support seems less. Now on the hunt for new shoes that are more supportive.

This is my fourth or fifth Guide purchase. Had high expectations for the latest Guide 16 but they're way too bouncy for me. Wish I had purchased one of the previous versions because I loved my other Guide sneakers up to this point.

i have been wearing this shoe for 30 days and not happy with the support. The backs are breaking down - in 30 days. Disappointed in the quality - I want a refund

I love the ride but the loss of the toe box layer means my feet are wet within 100meters and only the roads are wet it's not actually raining!

Disappointed in my Guide 16 purchase. The shoe was totally revamped and I didn't like it nor did my legs. The shoe has a heavier feel. My legs are so heavy when I run in these. I'm so glad they revamped the 17's. It's like night and day. I'm in love all over again.

The shoe toe area is too wide. I get calloused on my right big toe. I wear it.

Nice looking shoe. Not wide. In fact this wide is narrower than other regular width Saucony shoes I've worn. Disappointed.

I bought the next level up guide 16 and I don't like them. They hurt my back arch. Loves the the power run sneakers so I bought the same but next level and don't like them.

I started wearing this brand with the guide 13's. I usually walk 3 to 5 miles every day in all types of weather. I noticed with the guide 15s that the toe construction had a tendency to kick up water and soak my forefoot. This construction flaw was noted in a few other reviews. I just returned from a 4 mile walk and the shoe is soaked from the toe to 3/4 of the shoe. My sock was also soaking wet. I did not experience this with the 13's or 14's. I will not buy another pair until this issue is taken care of.

I bought a month ago. I think it's my fault that I just chose the wrong shoe. The heal has prominent cushioning (a bump)/pressure point inside that makes it so uncomfortable for me to run. It must throw off my gait because my legs hurt afterwards. I must not have the correct shoe for my running gait. I will have to give these away.

They are falling apart in a few months with light use. Pretty disappointed as I love the brand. Very comfortable though!

I got these shoes to help provide cushioning and support while working 12 hour shifts.unfortunately after only a handful of months of wear I get hip pain whenever I wear these.

Guide 16 felt like a great shoe till it wasn't; literally happened overnight. I didn't have these for 5 months before having problems with the shoe breaking down. Now in a lot of knee and foot pain that I haven't had in years. When I first shopped for these I typically purchased Brooks. These were a little wider, so I thought I'd give them a try. Bad decision. I'd love to be a walker/runner, but sadly not. These were purchased for comfort.
