Is the Saucony Guide worth it?

The short answer: If you need a stability shoe, yes. The Guide provides effective medial support at a competitive price point compared to equivalent stability options from Brooks and ASICS. If you do not need a stability shoe, it is not worth it — buy the Ride instead.

What the Guide delivers

The Guide uses PWRRUN foam with a medial post — the same cushioning platform as the Ride with the addition of stability support. For runners who need that support, it is a complete, well-built daily training shoe that handles the same range of runs as the Ride.

The price-to-value assessment

The Guide is priced similarly to the Ride — which is competitive for a stability shoe. Brooks Adrenaline GTS and ASICS Gel-Kayano are typically priced similarly or higher. The Guide does not compromise on build quality to hit its price point.

Verdict
Worth it if you need stability. The wrong shoe if you do not. Get the gait assessment first.
