FAQs
Who is the Saucony Guide 18 best suited for?
The Saucony Guide 18 is ideal for runners who need a stable and cushioned shoe, particularly those who require support to moderate overpronation during daily training and long runs.
What type of surfaces is this shoe designed for?
The Guide 18 is primarily designed for running on asphalt and similar road surfaces, where its XT-900 outsole provides durable traction and its cushioning system excels.
How does the stability technology in the Guide 18 work?
It incorporates a wider base and a unique asymmetric sole design that works to guide your foot's motion, helping to control and moderate excessive inward rolling (pronation) during your stride.
What is PWRRUN cushioning and what are its benefits?
PWRRUN is Saucony's proprietary midsole cushioning material, known for its blend of softness and responsiveness. Combined with a PWRRUN+ insole, it provides excellent impact absorption, comfort, and energy return to keep your runs feeling fresh.
What is the heel-to-toe drop of the Saucony Guide 18?
The Saucony Guide 18 features a 6 mm heel-to-toe drop, which is considered a moderate drop suitable for a variety of running styles.
How should I clean and care for my Saucony Guide 18 shoes?
It is best to consult the product label for specific care instructions. Generally, wipe the shoes clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow them to air dry completely. Avoid machine washing or drying to prevent damage.
Is the Saucony Guide 18 suitable for running a marathon?
Yes, its excellent cushioning, stability features, and comfort make it a strong option for long-distance training and even marathon racing for runners who prioritize support and comfort over minimal weight.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel uncomfortable or cause rubbing/blisters.
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Break-in period is normal; wear them for shorter periods initially. Check your socks for proper fit and material. Try different lacing techniques to adjust pressure points.
Laces frequently come undone during runs.
Utilize a 'double knot' or 'surgeon's knot' for increased security. Ensure the laces are snug but not too tight. Some runners find specific lacing patterns more effective.
Reduced grip or traction on wet surfaces.
Clean the XT-900 outsole regularly to remove embedded debris. Check the outsole for excessive wear; worn outsoles will offer less grip and may indicate it's time for new shoes. Adjust your running style on wet surfaces.
Unpleasant odor develops inside the shoes.
Remove insoles and air out shoes after each run. Use shoe deodorizers or natural remedies like baking soda in a sock. Ensure shoes are completely dry before storage. Avoid storing in sealed bags or damp environments.
Cushioning feels less responsive over time.
Running shoes have a lifespan, typically 300-500 miles, after which cushioning degrades. If you've reached this mileage, it may be time to replace them. Ensure proper care, as extreme heat can affect midsole materials.

Getting started with your Saucony Guide 18 is straightforward: simply lace them up to a comfortable and secure fit. These shoes are ideal for runners who require support and cushioning, particularly those who experience mild to moderate overpronation. They are specifically designed for road surfaces like asphalt, where their robust outsole and cushioning can perform optimally. For compatibility, they are suitable for adult male runners. To care for your Saucony Guide 18 shoes, always refer to the product label for specific instructions. Generally, it's recommended to clean the upper and sole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources, to preserve the materials. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the shoe's construction and cushioning properties. Regular airing out after runs can also help maintain freshness.
