FAQs

The primary benefit is the combination of enhanced comfort from the softer PWRRUN foam and the supportive guidance provided by the Center Path Technology, aimed at delivering a protected and smooth running experience.
Who is the Saucony Guide 19 best suited for?
These trainers are best suited for adult female runners who engage in daily running and prioritize cushioning and a degree of stability to guide their stride.
What does the '6mm Offset' mean?
The 6mm offset refers to the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot of the shoe. This moderate drop encourages a more natural foot posture and transition during the running gait.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
Yes, the ample cushioning and protective features make them suitable for marathon training, especially for daily runs and longer mileage sessions where comfort is key. However, individual needs may vary.
How do I clean my Guide 19 trainers?
Clean using a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap and water. Air dry naturally and avoid machine washing or direct heat.
What does 'Center Path Technology' do?
Center Path Technology uses a broad base and higher sidewalls to keep your foot centered and guided through each step, promoting comfort and protection.
Is this shoe vegan?

What is the weight of the Saucony Guide 19?
The weight is approximately 8.9oz (252g) for a women's standard size.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or restrictive.
Ensure you are using the correct sock thickness. If the issue persists, the sizing may not be ideal for your foot shape. Consider trying a half-size larger or a different model if consistent discomfort occurs.
Reduced cushioning after some use.
While PWRRUN foam is designed for durability, cushioning can slightly decrease over hundreds of miles. If performance feels significantly degraded, it may be time to consider a new pair, especially if you've accumulated over 300-500 miles.
Discomfort in the arch or heel.
The Center Path Technology provides guidance; ensure your foot is landing naturally within the intended path. If discomfort persists, consult with a running specialist to check your gait and foot strike.
Upper material feels less breathable.
Ensure the mesh upper is clean and free from debris that might obstruct airflow. Regular light cleaning can help maintain breathability.
