Product Information
Full details
The Saucony Guide 19 trainers are designed for adult female runners seeking unparalleled comfort and protection during their daily runs. Offering maximum cushioning with a softer PWRRUN foam and enhanced flexibility, these trainers provide a supportive and comfortable experience. A potential consideration is that the 'Guide' series is specifically engineered for stability, which might feel more structured than a neutral shoe for those who don't require pronation support. Key features include superior PWRRUN cushioning, innovative Center Path Technology for guidance, and an adaptable engineered mesh upper.

FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Center Path Technology?
Center Path Technology provides a broad platform with higher sidewalls to cradle your foot, guiding your natural stride more comfortably and securely without feeling intrusive.
Is the PWRRUN foam in the Guide 19 soft or firm?
The Guide 19 features a softer blend of PWRRUN foam compared to previous versions, emphasizing enhanced comfort and responsiveness for daily runs.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
Yes, the Guide 19's ample cushioning and comfort make them suitable for marathon training, particularly for daily mileage and recovery runs. For faster race-day efforts, you might consider a lighter, more performance-oriented shoe.
How do I clean my Saucony Guide 19 trainers?
Spot clean using a mild soap and cold water with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents. Allow them to air dry naturally away from heat.
What does the 6mm offset mean?
The 6mm offset refers to the difference in height between the heel (35mm) and the forefoot (29mm) of the shoe. This moderate drop promotes a balanced and natural running posture.
Are these shoes eco-friendly?
Yes, the Saucony Guide 19 is designed with sustainability in mind. This style is vegan and contains recycled materials.
Who is the ideal runner for the Guide 19?
The Guide 19 is ideal for adult female runners who want a well-cushioned, comfortable, and subtly stable shoe for their daily runs. It's particularly beneficial for those who appreciate guidance through their stride.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. Loosen the laces and re-tie them, focusing on an even distribution of pressure. If discomfort persists, check if the size is correct or if the shoe's structure is not suitable for your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning after some use
While the PWRRUN foam is durable, cushioning can subtly decrease over extensive mileage. If you've logged many miles (typically over 300-500), it might be time to consider a new pair. Ensure the insoles are properly seated.
Upper mesh feels restrictive
The engineered mesh is designed to adapt. Try wearing the shoes for shorter periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure laces are not overtightened, which can exacerbate restriction.
Slipping during runs
Ensure the laces are tied securely using a proper running knot to prevent loosening. Check if the outsole is worn down, which may require replacement of the shoes. Ensure you are running on appropriate surfaces for the shoe's design.

- Cleaning: Spot clean with mild soap and cold water using a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the materials and structure.
