Our Verdict
Saucony Guide 19
Saucony Ride 19
The Saucony Guide 19 and Saucony Ride 19 may be sister shoes, but they're built for different runners. The Ride 19 is lighter, more cushioned, and more responsive, making it the better pick for runners with a neutral stride who want a more versatile daily trainer. The Guide 19 is heavier and less lively, but its CenterPath design adds more stability for runners who like the Ride's feel but need extra guidance.
