  • RunRepeat : 84.6 / 100 — « The Guide 17 is a significant evolution from its predecessors. We put it to the test and were impressed by Saucony's departure from traditional stability features, offering a rockered ride. And despite a slight decrease in agility from its wider midsole, the shoe still maintains a competitive weight. Therefore, we believe it's a great upgrade, standing out as a top choice for anyone in search of a modern stability shoe that's reasonably priced. »
