Smaller than the last three
PostedApril 25, 2013
This is my 3rd online order of the shoe and probably the 10th pair I have had and this shoe is smaller in every way. Width at the toe, sides don't come up as far, back is lower. Tongue is shorter. Even the shoelaces are almost too short. Cost cutting?

I have always worn Saucony's because I tend to pronate and these shoes offer me the support that I need when I run. The Guide 5 is a very light shoe, I hardly notice I have it on when I am running. I find the color combinations very attractive and I look forward to getting my new shoe every 6 months. Great buy!

I bough this shoes for my girlfriend, we went to a several stores in our area, most of them recomended this shoe, but the difference was the price, it was over $20.00 less than anywhere around. Do your homework before you buy it.

I just recieved my shoes and have gone on a few runs and they feel great! I will definetly order another pair. I haven't worn them long enough to rate the durability. My ONLY complaint about the shoes is that all of the colors I liked they were out of stock in my size.

I Run: Not at all

I have been wearing Pro Grid's since 2008 when I had a serious problem with Plantar Fasciitis. My physical therapist recommended I go to a shoe store that specialized in running shoes, and this is the shoe the owner recommended I use. Immediately this shoe with the help of an arch support stopped the fasciitis. At times I have tried different shoes, but then I experience foot pain and always go back to the Pro Grid, now called Guide 5. A lot of people must like it, because I have a hard time finding it in stores. I usually order it direct from Saucony, and they are very quick and efficient with their delivery.

Have been wearing ProGrids for several years now and find them more comfortable than any other brand I've had in the past. These Guide 5's are comfortable from Day One. Love the colors available from the website as opposed to other outlets.

I have been running in these shoes (the Guide) for years now. They are consistent and durable and I doubt I would ever change them so I hope Saucony doesn't ever stop making them! They do run a half size big or so but it's not a drawback, just an FYI.

Some running shoes these days are too light - no support. Others are too bulky and make you feel like you're wearing giant clown shoes. These shoes find a comfortable middle ground. They are good everyday trainers and make my feet happy.

I need ankle support for my long runs. This is my 4th pair - perfect for my stride. They don't weigh you down and offer good cushion and stability. Very good 'wearing' shoe.

I have a wide foot with neutral arch. I have never been a runner - just power walking - due to shin splints. With these shoes, I have never had a shin splint or aching knees or back. I purchased the shoe 8 months ago and run an average of 10-12 miles a week on road and wooded trails. They have held up well. It is time to replace these shoes. I will be buying another pair!

This shoe feels like walking and running on air. The stability offered by this shoe is excellent. It was recommended to me by a podiatrist. I would highly recommend it!

Great support without being too stiff. It's is my second pair of Guide 5 shoes. I've hade foot and knee problems in the past and these shoes have made those problems history. Will not hesitate to buy them again.
I'm not a big runner -- some running, biking, and weight training. Use the shoes for everything.

I am on my second pair of Guide 5's. This is the first running shoe I have been able to wear without replacing the insole. Super comfortable from the first run til I wore them out. I previously have had problems with heel pain - but not since switching to these.
