Saucony Guide 17 vs Guide 16

Find out how the new Center Path technology differs from the previous Guide 16.

Read article

The Saucony Guide 17 Stability Running Shoes have been completely redesigned in a bid to make them feel more comfortable than ever before. Unlike the previous version, which featured a stiffer structure in the midsole, the Guide 17 midsole is only made from soft PWRRUN cushioning. This begs the question, how do the Saucony Guide 17 offer more support? The answer is, Saucony’s Center Path Technology. To explain, the midsole is made with a broad base that is inherently stable. There’s also a straight midfoot profile on the medial side for improved stability. Next, a lateral heel bevel design helps resist medial motion that could lead to instability. And finally, and potentially most importantly, elevated midsole side walls wrap your feet to ensure they’re supported. So there you have it, the Saucony Guide 17 offers enhanced support and structure for your feet and ankles through specific midsole shaping. This holistic style of support should also reduce excess knee and hip rotation. As a result of the PWRRUN+ Sockliner and the thick layer of PWRRUN foam, you should feel as if your feet are sitting on a lot of cushioning. This is why we position the Guide 17 Running Shoes in our Float Experience category. At Run4It, we expect you’ll enjoy running in the Saucony Guide 17 Running Shoes on your easy days. This is because the cushioning is likely to feel soft and comfortable under your feet. Additionally, the high level of cushioning and supportive geometry should perform well over longer distances. It’s very common for form to worsen over the course of a run - especially when you’re getting tired. While the support in the Guide won’t inhibit you when you’re feeling fresher, it should help you when you need it. Or on days when you’re feeling a bit fatigued and tired.
