Thanks! 👍🏻 Glad you liked the video!...You are especially correct with current stability offerings. Stability elements are much more subtle than in the past...More guidance vs control.
I think that could be a viable option. Although the Tempus isn't max cushioned, there is enough there to do the job. For me, the Tempus is a great up-tempo option for all distances.
Thanks for the question! The K30 is heavier, more cushioned, and better suited for long runs. In my rotation I am reaching for the K30 for my Sunday long runs, but for mid-week regular paced runs, I reach for the Guide 16. Outside of cushioning, I find the Guide 16 more comfortable.
Ok interesting. I'm using the Kayano 30 (enjoying it!) and have heard of but not tried the Guide. Could be an interesting one to look at sometime. Thanks for the reply!
I stand on my feet all day for work and wonder if you think this would be good for that? I don’t like very mushy running shoes as they make my foot ache after a few hours😢 I may pick a pair up unless you have a better idea
Hi Van, I've been using the Guide 16 for marathon training and love the support. But as you noted, it starts feeling a little firm on the really long runs. What do you recommend for a shoe that provides the same degree of stability and support with a little more protective cushioning for the really long stuff?
Thanks for the question! A very stable option could be the New Balance Vongo V5 or even the Hoka Arahi 6. Neither are what I would classify as plush, but they are more cushioned than the Guide 16. Another more cushioned option could be the ASICS Gel-Kayano 30, just beware of hotspots. Otherwise a great shoe!
I have to compete a 25 km running test which I have to complete in 4 hrs. Moreover, one of my foot is flat. What do you suggest??.. Is Saucony guide 16 a good choice?
Thanks for the question! 👋 The Guide 16 could be a good option, however it's on the firmer side. It's very stable, great support, and has adequate cushioning, but it really comes down to whether it is cushioned enough for you.
Bill, can you re-load your video of NYC Marathon Training Weeks 7-8 3/1 Long Run ... I received the notification but can't open the video. Maybe you deleted it .... maybe you are playing 'mind games' with this old lady ????
@@oldmanvanrunning Bill, thank you for telling me! So you're NOT trying to make an old lady crazy?? I'm going out for a few hours - I will hopefully be able to watch your new video tonight when I get back home. Thank you.
thanks for your great videos! i just buyed a pair :)
@@hydragamermv3052 You're very welcome! Let me know how you like them!
Great review. Just found your channel. Subscribed❤🎉
Thanks for checking out my video, and welcome to the channel! Much appreciated!
For me Tempus still is my go-to shoes also my marathon race day shoes .
Definitely the most versatile stability shoe out there 👌
Great video. I recall that even neutral runners can still use a stability shoe. Thoughts? Thanks
Thanks! 👍🏻 Glad you liked the video!...You are especially correct with current stability offerings. Stability elements are much more subtle than in the past...More guidance vs control.
what are your thoughts on using the Guide for shorter runs/more daily training and the Tempus for those longer sessions/runs
I think that could be a viable option. Although the Tempus isn't max cushioned, there is enough there to do the job. For me, the Tempus is a great up-tempo option for all distances.
Tempus has a nicer toe box compare to Ride / Guide , not a roomy toe box but just wider than regular .
Thanks for the review. What your opinion, is it still good stability shoes for overpronation?
Hey Yi! Thanks for the comment and question 👍 The Guide 16 is definitely still an excellent stability shoe for over-pronation. 👍
How do you compare it to the Kayano 30?
Thanks for the question! The K30 is heavier, more cushioned, and better suited for long runs. In my rotation I am reaching for the K30 for my Sunday long runs, but for mid-week regular paced runs, I reach for the Guide 16. Outside of cushioning, I find the Guide 16 more comfortable.

Based on your comments, this may be a good option for you. I would recommend trying them on first if you can, however.

@@oldmanvanrunningAre Guide 16 narrow in toe area? I'm thinking if I should order Wide version online or standard width?

Any idea when your updated asics kayano 30's will be out? Thanks.
Thanks for the question!...100 mile update should be out sometime in September 👍
Which one you will recommend guide 16 or tempus? Since tempus hasn't new model, i really enjoy speed 3 for all arounder
Tempus over the Guide if I need the most versatile shoe. Guide is a bit more stable.
So, its better quality the upper in the 16 than the 15?
The upper is definitely improved in the 16 vs the 15
guide 16 got 2E model for wide version?
Just comes in "Regular" and "Wide" widths. Not sure if the "Wide" version aligns with 2E.

Hey Cathy! The uploaded video was corrupted, so I'm uploading a new copy as we speak. Should be up and available shortly.

100 km ultra , tempus or guide ?
For me, it would be the Tempus or another option. The Guide doesn't have enough cushioning for an Ultra in my opinion
