Saucony Guide 17
A light-touch stability trainer that dropped the medial post for CenterPath geometry, a wide base with raised sidewalls that guides the foot rather than correcting it. Great for mild overpronators who hate clunky stability shoes. Runners who need firm, structured support, or a precise fit, should look elsewhere, because it runs a bit long.
