Discount Saucony Men's Progrid Guide TR4 Trail Running Shoe

Customer Ratings:

I am a long time fan and supporter of Saucony. As a neutral runner with very slight under probation tendencies I am fortunate that I can wear almost any shoe and I have tried many of the Saucony lines: Guide series, Ride series (favorite), Jazz series (2nd favorite), Triumph series, Echelon series and the Xodus Trail Running series. All fantastic and exceptional value.

That being said there are occasions (like ALL major Co.'s) where quality control is an issue. If you ever come across a review where someone complains about stitching, weak/poor glue etc. I hope you will use logic and common sense and remember that the majority of our country's favorite products are made overseas and the factory workers could really care less about us (the consumer). Trueinspections and standards can increase, but then so does the manufacturing/labor costs and that ultimately means our purchase price as well.

Here on Amazon we are lucky to get incredible deals on older items, so I hope that everyone will keep these things in mind before going off half-cocked and complaining about single-instance issues.

I gave the Guide 4 TR (trail) shoe 3 stars only because it seems to be lost/confused in terms of what kind of shoe it should be. Since it is a heavier shoe (as most trail shoes are) I am not complaining about the weight, or anything trivial. The upper is nicely constructed and quite attractive. For some reason only the heel is reinforced for durability so other than having closed mesh and slight water resistance, this shoe looks as though it was designed for light trail running. Howeveryou can perform light trail running with every good running shoe already. The sole has a good pattern, but not aggressive enough for heavy trails. No rock plates either, but still stiff nevertheless, but then it's curious that the shoe is so shallow inside with no room for thick socks, or any orthotic thicker than the stock one, which makes the feel very uncomfortable even after a break-in period. The ankles sit high and there is slight heel slippage at a modest pace and a lot of slippage on steep inclines. Since the sole is soft rubber, it wears very quickly on pavement unless you gave smooth concrete streets and sidewalks where you live.

Therefore it's not a road shoe, nor a trail shoe, and as a hybrid it's somewhat of a failure. It does look nice, but that's about it. I wouldn't recommend it, but it's an older model anyway.

Got the shoe in good shape, ran and enjoyed the run. Shoe is made well, but get a size bigger than you would normally get.

I have been buying them for years great for running or walking. Lots of support and comfort only problem is the mesh by the toe wears out very quickly.

Honest reviews on Saucony Men's Progrid Guide TR4 Trail Running Shoe

I've been buying Saucony running shoes for years now. They're they best as far as I'm concerned. The only caveat is that you usually have to buy them one to 1.5 sizes larger than your normal size. The shoes always fit like a glove and don't require a break-in period. Unlike other athletic shoes, I've never had a pair of Sauconys give me a blister. They also seem to last for a reasonable time.
