Review: Saucony ProGrid Guide 2
My ProGrid Guide 2s!
I LOVE these shoes. They are awesome running shoes for the price, I was able to buy a pair for around $75.00 which for running shoes is a great deal. They were the Independent Running Retailers Association (IRRA) 2009 shoe of the year, and that award was well deserved. To me the Saucony ProGrid Guide 2 is one of the best running shoes I have ran in to date. It is a light stability shoe, it weighs in at about 11.4 ounces, and it fits great.
For someone like me who deals with a little bit of pronation this is a great pair of shoes, they provide just enough arch support to deal with the pronation, and provide a great deal of stability. My feet were able to fit snugly inside the shoes right out of the box, and so far I have ran about 45 miles in them and they feel great. I don’t have any strains, pulls, or pains so far, and the cushioning on these shoes is great. The toebox is fairly roomy, and they seem to hold up well in snow.
They do take a little time to break in, sightly stiff out of the box, but once you have broken them in they feel great. It has great heel cushioning and ventilation as well. They are comfortable, durable and everything you would want in a pair of running shoes. I can see myself buying another pair of these to keep in case they stop production. If your just getting into running, or are training for anything do your feet a favor and try these on. Head to your local running store and give these shoes a spin, you won’t regret it.
