Have you been told by a physio, podiatrist, or gait specialist that you need a stability shoe? If yes — buy the Guide. If no — buy the Ride.
Do not buy stability footwear on instinct. Many runners assume they need stability because their arches are low or their ankles roll slightly. This does not necessarily mean they need a medial post.
The Guide uses the same PWRRUN foam as the Ride with a denser medial post on the inner side of the midsole. This limits excessive inward rotation. For runners who do not overpronate, this addition changes the feel without adding benefit.
You have been recommended a stability shoe professionally. You have run in neutral shoes and consistently experienced knee pain on the inner side. You have run in neutral shoes and experienced arch fatigue or shin splints linked to gait.
