Saucony Guide 19

Saucony Guide 19 review: what runners say

Fit

Wide, generous fit suited to medium or slightly wider feet. Also available in a wide version. Recommended to stay true to size.

Feel

Plush cushioning with a broad base and high sidewalls that guide the stride. The updated PWRRUN foam's softness cuts into responsiveness: some runners report a heavy, low-energy feel, while others find it comfortable for easy runs.

Durability

XT900 rubber outsole with extended coverage compared to the previous version. No precise mileage data available from sources, but multiple reviewers agree outsole durability exceeds the Guide 18.

Best for

Easy daily training and active recovery shoe. Suited to runners seeking mild stability with maximum cushioning, beginner runners, and walkers. Not appropriate for uptempo running or quality workouts.

Weak points

High weight (305–312 g) perceived as a drawback during running. Updated PWRRUN foam widely criticized across sources for being too soft and lacking energy return. Absence of a pull tab noted.
