Men's Saucony, Guide 19 Running Shoe - Extra Wide Width

For those who need cloud-like underfoot protection paired with maximum toe clearance, the Saucony Guide 19 in its extra-wide configuration is an absolute masterclass in comfort. The engineered mesh upper is inherently roomy and has a higher-volume ceiling, meaning your feet have space to swell during long days or high-mileage walks. The midfoot wrap and memory foam collar embrace your foot like a custom glove, delivering zero heel slippage.  Underfoot comfort is where this sneaker truly shines. It packs a massive, deep bed of PWRRUN foam cushioning coupled with a premium PWRRUN+ sockliner. Every step feels soft, shock-absorbent, and highly protective without feeling mushy or unstable. It delivers a fluid, predictable ride from heel strike to toe-off, making it arguably the most reliable and plush daily sneaker for wide feet.

I love this shoe. I ended up buying three because I like it so much. I do daily HIIT classes or a run in this shoe, and use it to train for Hyrox. It for true to size for me in 11w. The shoes meets my stability needs perfectly, and the foam is likely to thank for that. It has nowhere near the energy return of something like the Triumph 25 or Endorphin series, but it also comes in the wide width and stability I need. The upper hugs the foot beautifully and breathes really well. The heel locks down tight with runner loops. I give this shoe a five star despite some areas of improvement. First, the tongue needs to be longer. With the runners loops, I might have an 1/8th of an inch before the lace contacting my sock. It isn't hard to bend the shoe in the Hyrox sims to get a lace to leave the tongue. Second, longer laces. Another 2 inches per lace would make runners loops so much easier to tie down. Third, and this will be a tough one, increase the rocker in the toe ever so slightly so that a new, same-firmness-higher-energy foam can work with it the shoe. It would make the shoe ridiculously nimble and stable, something that does not exist on the market. (Hint: incredilux is not the right foam here, Saucony.) And finally, shave down the heel width so that it fits into the rower foot plates cleanly. It would only take 1/4in or so. Maybe not even. You'd maintain the stability and gain a ton of functionality.
