Saucony Guide 19

TF XC Running Shoe Reviews (TF XC) states the Saucony Guide 19 uses only regular EVA-based PWRRUN foam in its midsole, not the newer ATPU-based foam found in the Hurricane 26.

EDDBUD observes that the Guide 19 still uses the Power Run midsole rather than Power Run Plus.

EDDBUD speculates the Guide 19 uses Power Run rather than Power Run Plus because Power Run is denser and therefore more stable and better suited for a stability model; he speculates the softer Power Run Plus and PB foams would be too soft for this type of use.

Doctors of Running states that the Guide 19 is for people who do not like super foams, want a basic EVA midsole, do not want bounce, do not want to feel launched forward, and prefer a slightly more snug, close fit.

TF XC Running Shoe Reviews (TF XC) observes the Saucony Guide 19 has a wide platform that helps make it nice and stable.

TF XC Running Shoe Reviews (TF XC) notes the Saucony Guide 19 does not have any dual-density foam; stability comes from the way the foot sits a little lower in the shoe and the wide platform.
