Runners seeking an every-day-training shoe with a small amount of stability will love the new ProGrid Guide 5. Not only does this shoe deliver the cushioning and smooth ride necessary for daily running, but it manages to do this while weighing 1.5 ounces less than last year’s version. While this might be enough reason for many runners to consider the ProGrid Guide 5, Saucony has also reduced the heel-to-toe drop to 8mm, encouraging a smoother and faster transition. The result is a responsive shoe that feels fast without comprising the stability and cushioning that many runners require.
