It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of this shoe. While I use a variety of shoes for training, I have consistently used the Saucony Guide 7 in all my full marathons for the past couple of years. It’s a dependable stability shoe that offers stability and a good amount of cushioning. It’s also a wide shoe that allows my feet (and my nasty bunions) to have an ample amount of space.

I was pretty sad about having to retire my Saucony Guide 7, but just as I was grieving over it, Saucony informed me of the Guide 8’s release. I’ve since used the Guide 8 on two runs and I’m happy to report that it hasn’t changed much from its predecessor. (Model upgrades bring me so much stress!)
