Guide 16
Guide 16 is an everyday stability trainer for runners seeking added support. It retains the Guide 15's underfoot geometry, pairing PWRRUN cushioning with HOLLOW-TECH guidance to support daily mileage. This generation reworks the engineered-mesh upper to reduce weight, while a contoured, foot-cradling fit and smooth heel-to-toe transitions remain central to its design.

Weight measurement and plate details
- Weight note
- Men's 8.8oz / 249g from Saucony US official product page. This replaces the previous 269g value that came from weaker supplemental/product-database evidence.
- Plate note
- Fleet Feet's exact Guide 16 introduction names HOLLOW-TECH guidance. Its material is not identified there, and the current US construction text is too sparse to establish a carbon or non-carbon classification.
