I love this shoe!, June 10, 2010
This review is from: Saucony Women's ProGrid Guide 3 Running Shoe (Apparel)
I'm an older teen and I have been running for about 6 months now. I HATED running so much because it hurt, I was always twisting my ankle and I was just downright uncomfortable. I figured it was just running itself but I was discouraged as my mother had lost a lot of weight running and I was having no such luck - because I couldn't push myself from the lack of comfortability.
I am a pretty petite girl, just slightly overweight and because of my petiteness I also have very small feet. I figured the reason I kept hurting my ankle was because of the size of my feet vs. my weight (5'1 and over 140lbs with size 3-4 children's sized shoe) I had actually been using a hand-me-down of my younger sister's because her feet are a woman's 8.
My dad suggested I go get fitted for running shoes to improve my performance as a 5-k was coming up. I was kind of apprehensive as that meant that if he was paying for them, I'd be expected to run more. I was fitted and this was one of five shoes I could try on. This was the first pair I tried on and COULD NOT BELIEVE how comfortable a shoe could be! I have NEVER worn such a comfortable shoe. I knew right away that was the pair I'd get. I did try on the other pairs but still, I knew those were mine.
I felt so comfortable during my 5-k and wearing the right shoes most definitely improved my performance. Just today I ran 4 miles in them and still can't believe how comfy they are.
I run inbetween 2-4 miles 5 days per week and often will ride my bicycle recreationally at the local park about 15 miles and I have done so in these shoes since late April and they still smell like I just got them out of the box from the store. I've ran on the treadmill, in mud/dirt and on gravel and there have been no problems. Definitely affordable for the use you get out of them.

3rd pair, still love them, November 14, 2010
I have owned three pairs of this shoe. I first chose them based on a review and really felt good running in them (no knee pain or shin splints or pain in my lateral calf from improper motion). The next time that I needed shoes, I went to a running store and run on a treadmill so they could view my gait (I ran in some shoes they gave me). Ironically, they recommended these shoes. So, I bought another pair. I'm now on my third pair and don't see any reason to change to another shoe. If it's not broke, don't fix it.
I'm a fairly neutral runner (don't need much motion control), weigh 120 lbs. and run about 20-30 miles per week. I only wear these shoes for running to reduce wear. They have lots of room in the toebox.

Wear them all day, September 9, 2010
This review is from: Saucony Women's ProGrid Guide 3 Running Shoe (Apparel)
Love Saucony shoes! After I had my 2nd child I started running again. I tried 3 different brands of shoes but the same problems would crop up, then finally got fitted for these. What a difference! It's like Saucony actually listens to what customers want and need! They breathe really well and are so comfortable. The mesh sides are my favorite. I used to to think I needed to 'wear my shoes in' for a day or two! Not any more. After my 2nd baby I got down to my pre-pregnant weight within a few months thanks to my shoes. Now, after my 4th (and final) child, I have started exercising again. On laundry and cleaning days, I wear them all day because they give me so much energy to get through the day. You can't go wrong with Saucony's.
