FAQs

What type of runner is the Saucony Guide 18 designed for?

The Saucony Guide 18 is designed as a cushioned everyday trainer for adult runners, particularly those who need moderate support to reduce overpronation. Its focus is on comfort, protection, and stability for daily mileage.

What is PWRRUN foam?

PWRRUN is Saucony's proprietary cushioning technology that provides a soft, yet responsive feel. It's engineered to absorb impact effectively while returning energy for a lively ride, ensuring comfort over long distances.

How does Center Path Technology work?

Center Path Technology features a broad base geometry, increased sidewall height, and a rocker shape to gently guide your foot through its natural gait cycle. This design helps to keep your foot centered and prevent excessive inward rolling (overpronation), promoting a more stable and efficient stride.

What is the heel-to-toe drop of the Guide 18?

The Saucony Guide 18 has a heel-to-toe drop of 6mm, with a heel stack height of 35mm and a forefoot stack height of 29mm. This lower drop encourages a more natural foot strike and can be beneficial for Achilles tendon health.

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

Yes, with its generous PWRRUN cushioning and supportive Center Path Technology, the Guide 18 is well-suited for long-distance training runs, providing the comfort and protection needed to go the extra mile.

How do I determine my correct size?

It is recommended to measure your foot and consult Saucony's official sizing chart. Many runners go up half a size in running shoes compared to their casual shoes to allow for foot swelling during activity. Ensure a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.

Can I use these shoes for walking?

Absolutely. While designed for running, the Guide 18's excellent cushioning, support, and comfort features make it a great option for walking, daily wear, or standing for long periods.

Troubleshooting

My feet feel hot or sweaty during runs.

Ensure you're wearing breathable running socks made from moisture-wicking materials. The engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability, but sock choice plays a significant role in foot comfort. If the issue persists, check if the shoes are adequately aired out between runs.

The shoes feel less supportive or cushioned than expected.

Verify that the lacing is properly adjusted for a secure fit. Over time, all running shoe cushioning can compress; if the shoes have many miles on them (typically 300-500 miles), it might be time for a new pair. Ensure the `Center Path Technology` aligns with your pronation needs.

I'm experiencing discomfort or rubbing.

Check your sock choice for proper fit and material. Ensure your shoe size is correct, as ill-fitting shoes are a primary cause of discomfort. Allow for a break-in period for the `FORMFIT` upper to fully adapt to your foot. If discomfort continues, consult a running specialist to confirm fit and suitability for your foot type.

Setup

  1. Lacing: Utilize the traditional lacing system to secure your midfoot. Ensure a snug fit without overtightening to prevent pressure points. The `FORMFIT` design will adapt to your foot's shape over time.
  2. Heel Pull Tabs: Use the integrated heel pull tabs to easily slip the shoes on and off, protecting the heel collar.
  3. Initial Wear: Wear them for short walks or light activities first to allow the `PWRRUN+ sockliner` and `FORMFIT` upper to conform to your feet before longer runs.

Compatibility

The Saucony Guide 18 is primarily designed for adult male runners who require a supportive, cushioned shoe for everyday training. Its `Center Path Technology` makes it particularly suitable for runners who experience mild to moderate overpronation. It is compatible with various running surfaces, including roads, sidewalks, and light trails.

Care

To ensure the longevity and performance of your Guide 18 running shoes:

  • Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft cloth or brush. Avoid machine washing, as this can damage the materials and adhesives. Do not use harsh chemicals.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can cause materials to shrink or crack. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  • Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
  • Rotation: Consider rotating your running shoes if you run frequently, which can extend the life of each pair.

> Info needed: Always refer to any specific care instructions provided with your product packaging or on the manufacturer's website for detailed guidance.
