Saucony Guide 18 Mens – S20998-164

The Guide 18 is the 2025 update to Saucony’s most trusted stability daily trainer — refining what worked in the Guide 17 with an improved upper and enhanced breathability without changing the smooth, non-intrusive stability platform runners relied on. It’s the shoe for runners who want support that works with them, not against them.

• CenterPath™ Technology — Asymmetric broad-base platform with higher sidewalls cradles the foot and centers it from lateral crash through toe-off, delivering smooth, balanced transitions and consistent mild overpronation control without the stiff, intrusive feel of traditional medial posts
• PWRRUN Midsole with PWRRUN+ Sockliner — EVA-based PWRRUN cushioning provides a firm yet comfortable underfoot feel with solid shock absorption across everyday training distances; the PWRRUN+ sockliner adds a softer, more plush sensation directly underfoot from the first step
• Redesigned Breathable Engineered Mesh Upper — Updated upper increases airflow and ventilation compared to the Guide 17, keeping feet cooler and fresher through longer runs while maintaining a secure, adaptable fit across a range of foot shapes
• Padded Heel Collar for Locked-In Fit — Generously padded heel collar and strong tongue gusset work together to secure the foot through the full stride cycle, preventing heel slip and providing a snug, confident feel without restricting natural movement
• XT-900 Carbon Rubber Outsole — Durable carbon rubber outsole delivers reliable traction across road surfaces in all weather conditions, providing the long-wear durability that daily training mileage demands across a full season
• 9.6 oz / 35mm Heel — 29mm Forefoot / 6mm Drop — Well-cushioned stack height for a daily trainer with a moderate 6mm heel-to-toe drop; true-to-size fit with a slightly snug midfoot and normal-to-slightly-wide forefoot accommodating a broad range of foot shapes
