One of the best shoes I have ever owned
These running shoes have a higher heel than Asics. They will propel you forward with less effort than flatter healed shoes. This coming from a 210 lb first year runner. The higher heel makes the top of your foot hurt initially because you have to bring your toe up a little higher with every step, but it is a small price to pay and you get used to it over time. I like the mild stability. It helps my left big toe which I recently developed a bunion from running in cross trainers for neutral runners. The stability puts a little less pressure on the big toe. I would recommend this shoe. Running long distances seems effortless. If going from new balance to Asics or Saucony, order a half size bigger. This Saucony shoe is also the only normal width shoe I can fit my wide feet into.

A good shoe ruined (2009-03-22)

This shoe has design or quality problems
This "upgrade" is terrible. I've been running in the ProGrid Guides for a few years and looked forward to this update. Unfortunately, the fit on the Guide 2 is different, the shoe is heavier (why?), and it is stiffer. I don't mind a firm shoe, but why is it heavier, and why did Saucony ruin this shoes wonderful fit?
