    A stability shoe that's surprisingly light

    All my other stability shoes are heavy, and let's say, not the best looking. Enter the Saucony Guide 16. Light blue and surprisingly light. Obviously not as light as shoes designed for speed, but as a stability shoe, these are the lightest in my collection. 

    A very comfortable ride and would recommend to all stability runners! These cost around £130, if you want a cheaper alternative, check out the Guide 15 (There's not much in it). 

    I had to size up to a 12, normally I'm a 11 in Nikes. 

  • Good shoe that doesn't rip on the sides.

    I have wide feet and my shoes tend to rip on the sides. These one's don't; they are very durable and lightweight. They feel very nice when I run in them. If your shoes tend to rip on the sides (below base of the big toe or on the outside edge of the shoe) these ones do not. Granted I got the wides, but these shoes are still great.
