FAQs
Are the Saucony Guide 19 suitable for marathon training?
Yes, the enhanced cushioning and support make them a good choice for marathon training, especially for runners who benefit from stability features and appreciate comfort over long distances.
What is the main difference between the Guide 19 and other Saucony models?
The Guide 19 is a stability shoe designed to help control overpronation. It features specific technologies like CenterPath Technology for alignment, whereas neutral shoes like the Kinvara focus on lightweight responsiveness without pronation control.
How do I know if the 6mm drop is right for me?
A 6mm drop is a moderate drop that works for many runners. If you are used to higher drops (like 10-12mm) or zero-drop shoes, transitioning to a 6mm drop might take a few runs to adjust. Pay attention to how your body feels during and after your runs.
Can these shoes be used for gym workouts?
While they offer good cushioning, the Guide 19 is primarily designed for running. For gym workouts, especially those involving lateral movements or heavy lifting, a more stable cross-training shoe might be more appropriate.
How durable is the XT-900 outsole?
The XT-900 outsole is made of durable carbon rubber and is reinforced in high-wear areas, designed for excellent road traction and longevity under typical running conditions.
Does the FORMFIT technology mean the shoe is custom-made?
No, FORMFIT technology refers to Saucony's design that molds to the shape of your foot for a personalized, secure feel within a standard shoe construction. It enhances comfort and lockdown but does not mean the shoe is custom-molded.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing during runs
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for a secure but not overly tight fit. Check that the correct size is being worn. If the issue persists, consider trying different socks or lacing techniques.
Reduced cushioning or support over time
Running shoes have a lifespan based on mileage (typically 300-500 miles). If the cushioning feels significantly diminished, it may be time to replace the shoes.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the XT-900 outsole offers good traction, all rubber outsoles can be less effective on extremely slick surfaces. Ensure your stride is controlled and be cautious on very wet or icy conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Saucony Guide 19 trainers require no specific setup. Simply try them on and lace them up for an immediate, comfortable fit. Ensure the lacing is snug but not constricting to optimize the FORMFIT technology.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and general athletic activities. They are compatible with most common athletic socks. While they feature technology to aid overpronation, they are not a medical device and cannot replace orthotics if prescribed.
Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in damp or humid environments.
