SauconyGuide 17

Verdict

The Saucony Guide 17 is a high-performing option in its class — a stability trainer scoring 87/100 in SoleHunt's data-driven evaluation, drawing on 0 consumer reviews and 0 independent expert tests. Tipping the scales at 275g, it is standard weight for a stability trainer. The 37mm heel stack — a generous stack — delivers a comfortably cushioned ride at 28 HC, returning 56% of impact energy and feeling moderately responsive underfoot. Geometrically, the Guide 17 runs on a mid 8mm drop that works with most running gaits, with a 29mm forefoot stack that maintains the traditional heel-elevated geometry runners with tight calves often prefer. Fit-wise, the toebox measures 95mm — roomy, with space for wider feet and swelling on long runs — and the upper is available in B/D/2E widths. True to size. Medial post provides light overpronation control. The removable insole makes it compatible with custom orthotics. It is designed for daily training, overpronators, long runs, orthotics users, and performs less well for neutral runners or speed workouts.
