Check out our full review of these top stability shoes: Guide 17: www.doctorsofrunning.com/2023/12/saucony-guide-17-review-2023.html GT-2000 12: www.doctorsofrunning.com/2021/01/asics-gt-2000-9-review.html
I needed to see this. I have the Clifton 9s had them roughly a little over a year. With roughly 260-300 miles on them. Starting to feel mainly on the right foot some discomfort in my arch area and heel area. I’m flat footed and I’m been seeing these are great for someone with flat feet. I tried them on in store and they both on left and right foot fit great. Usually my right shoe fits a bit tighter and wasn’t the case with the guide 17s
Perfect timing! I was contemplating adding one of these shoes to my rotation. I am just getting over an Achilles injury have been slowly ramping up my running over the past 2 months. I currently only run on the Saucony tempus and wanted to pair it with a stable daily shoe. I will have to try both out
Had both of these, and they both have their ups and downs, the asics more heel and toe stability while the guide focused more on arch support. Both great shoes but the guide wore off quicker in my opinion.
The only thing I dislike about my GT 2000 12 is the poor grip , only on the forefoot area for toe off. It slips a bit, and during runs in the rain. I felt safer doing heel or middle foot strikes instead of forefoot . This reminded me of the poor grip for fast toe off in the edge of the forefoot of the Ultraboost Light ( they forgot to put the grippy Continental rubber bellow the big toe) .
Which is best for someone who lands mid foot but quite heavily on the lateral side? I’m always put in stability shoes by my local shop, currently Guide 16’s but I’ve completely worn the outside edges..
Hi I am 41 years old and started to run with the Nicky run club app program for 10k, what shoes would recommend for someone with a flat foot. That can combine my speed running with my recovery and long runs. Thanks 🙏
I am a 45yo runner with moderate to severe overpronation. My daily mile shoes is the Asics Gel Kayano 30(looking to add Guide 17 to ease old Kayano’s burden soon), my speedy/tempo rotations are Asics Superblast, and Saucony Endorphine Speed 4, My race day shoes are Adizero Pro 3 and the recently added Saucony Endorphine Pro 4. All these shoes have been carefully selected based on its level of inharebt stability as primary consideration. While there are numerous excellent best in class shoes out there that are simply off limit for me due to instability such as many super narrow/wobbly heel racers, namely Takumi Sen, Diviate Nitro 2, and Asics Metaspeed series.. none of those shoes work for me, as they always give sensation of my heels falling off the cliff on the medial side. So you can either go my route, carefully adding shoes to serve each task in rotation based on your specific requirements, or you could just grab a few stability shoes that are multi-talented like a Saucony Tempus for faster pace day, and a Asics Kayano for your recovery/long run day.. and you should have yourself well covered. (At least until you aim to compete in a half or a full Marathon event that is..)
I need very cushioned stability like my kayano 28's but I don't like the Kayano 30's, what's my best bet? I had Guide 16's show up today but the heels aren't cushy at all.
@@matth3903You are confusing 860 with 880 or 1080. 860 is a proper stability shoe. It provides way more stability than guide 17 and gt 2000. It's NB's flagship shoe in stability.
@@matth3903 adding that 860 v13 is not only just stability but its rated as top 3 in best cushion stability allong with kayano 29 and guide 16. I have all 3 of them, and 860v13 has the best cushioning.
