FAQs

What is Center Path Technology?

Center Path Technology is a design feature in the Guide 18 that keeps your foot centred and supported, reducing overpronation for a smoother ride.

What kind of cushioning does the Guide 18 have?

The Guide 18 uses PWRRUN cushioning for excellent shock absorption and comfort, and the PWRRUN+ sockliner provides a soft feel.

Are the shoes suitable for wide feet?

FORMFIT technology helps accommodate different foot shapes, but it's recommended to try on the shoes to ensure a comfortable fit, especially if you have wide feet.

How long do the shoes typically last?

The lifespan of the shoes depends on usage. Regular runners can expect them to last for approximately 300-500 miles. However, the exact duration varies based on the individual's running style and the surfaces they run on.

Can I use these shoes for cross-training?

While the Guide 18 is primarily designed for running, its stability features make it suitable for some cross-training activities. However, it may not be ideal for all types of cross-training exercises. For dedicated cross-training, consider shoes specifically designed for those activities.

How do I know if I need stability shoes?

If your feet tend to roll inward excessively (overpronation), or if you've been recommended stability shoes by a specialist, the Guide 18 can provide the necessary support.

What is the drop of the shoe?

The Saucony Guide 18 has a 6mm drop (difference in height from heel to forefoot).

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.

Adjust the lacing system for a more comfortable fit. Ensure you have the correct shoe size. Consider wearing thinner socks.

Poor traction on wet surfaces.

Be cautious when running on wet surfaces. The XT-900 outsole provides excellent traction but may have limitations in very wet conditions. Slow down and adjust your stride.

The shoes are wearing out quickly.

Ensure the shoes are used for the intended purpose. Avoid using them on excessively rough terrain. Check for wear and tear regularly and replace the shoes when needed.
