This is the second pair of the Guide 5s that I have had.  I swore I'd never buy a pair of Saucony shoes again because the first pair I had several years ago sucked.  I hate buying new shoes because manufacturer's are always tweaking and torturing the models.  When I find a pair I like I tend to stick with it.  When I went to get a replacment for my last pair of Under Armour's (had 4 pairs of those thanks to their outlet store).  I had to find something new because they didn't make the style I liked anymore.

These had a good rating in Runner's world and were reasonably priced at the local sporting goods chain so I bought them.  It took me a minute to get used to them (or maybe for them to break in?).  When the foot cup thing kind of settled, I loved them.  I put probably 400 miles on those and when the heal started wearing out I started the arduous task of looking again.  I always look for the stability shoes with the grey section in their sole.  It limits your selection I can tell you.  At any rate I came back to these, good bang for your buck.  Way cheaper at Amazon than the box store!  Plus I was able to get the ViziPro orange which I love.  I think more shoes should come in fun, crazy colors.  Makes my daughter look at me funny but I love it.  I told her my generation invented flourescent colors!!! Welcome back to the 80's!

For stats, I'm 40 run 4-8 miles in each run, anywhere from a 10 minute/mile stroll to an 7:30 minute mile run.  These really work for me (and I pronate a bit).
