Getting to know the Saucony Guide 18
The Saucony Guide 18 follows more than a century of running art, through a brand founded in 1898 by shoemakers beside Saucony Creek. That same company now makes running shoes and apparel sold worldwide by specialist retailers.
The shoe uses PWRRUN foam and a PWRRUN+ sockliner for cushioning, with a 6-millimetre drop and a CenterPath guide to help keep your movement more controlled. The shoe is for runners who want steady support.
The measured support and cushioning in this model is excellent if you’re looking for a supportive trainer. The black women's trainers often include Guide 18s during sales, so keep a look-out for those if you're keen to grab them at a bargain price.
What are the versions of the Guide 18 by Saucony?
The Guide 18 by Saucony comes in men’s and women’s versions, with slight weight differences, and redesigned breathable uppers, and they’re often recommended for runners who overpronate mildly.
If you want a relaxed look, you can try them with a pair of men’s tracksuit bottoms on cooler days, or throw on a pair of shorts and take a stroll around the block.
How to wear the Guide 18s anywhere
The Saucony Guide 18s suit steady training runs and long days spent walking or running. You can pair them with tapered shorts or lightweight joggers that give you more freedom of movement. Pack a pair of compression socks for added support, if you need.
For casual outfits, have a look at the neutral colours and simple layers, with balanced cushioning and guided support. You can jump from a walk through town into an impromptu gym session or a jog around the park, they’re that versatile. Treat mesh uppers gently when cleaning to keep the finish looking fresh.
If you want a cool day look, grab a colourful pair and match them with a neat black shirt dress. Maybe grab a hoodie in case the temperature starts to drop.
