Our Verdict

Saucony Hurricane 26

Saucony Guide 19

The Saucony Hurricane 26 and Guide 19 are both part of Saucony's daily trainer stability lineup, but the Guide 19 is the more aggressive support shoe. It has a lower profile and provides a more planted, trustworthy ride if stability is your main priority. The Hurricane 26 is still very stable, but it’s the more cushioned and energetic option, making it the better pick if you want support with a higher stack and bouncier ride.
