FAQs

What is the main benefit of the ProGrid Guide 7?

The ProGrid Guide 7 offers a great balance of protection and comfort, inspired by classic running shoe designs, making them suitable for both running and casual wear.

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

While they offer good protection and comfort for longer distances, their retro design may not provide the advanced responsiveness or ultra-lightweight feel preferred by some marathon runners for competitive paces.

How do I know if this is the right shoe for my foot type?

The ProGrid Guide 7 is generally suited for neutral runners or those with mild overpronation, offering inherent stability and cushioning. For specific needs, consulting a running specialist is recommended.

Can I customize these shoes like the originals?

The re-release maintains the original design's spirit, including its heritage tied to customization. However, the physical customization options from the early 2000s are not present in this modern version.

How do I clean my ProGrid Guide 7 trainers?

Clean them using a soft brush or cloth with cool water and mild soap. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat.

What is the primary difference between this and modern Saucony trainers?

This model focuses on retro aesthetics and classic protection/comfort, whereas modern trainers often feature lighter materials, more advanced cushioning technologies, and designs optimized for specific performance metrics like speed or energy return.

What does 'ProGrid' refer to?

ProGrid was a cushioning technology used by Saucony, designed to provide a blend of shock absorption and responsiveness, contributing to the shoe's overall comfort and protective qualities.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or too loose

Adjust the lacing pattern. If the issue persists, ensure you have the correct UK size, referencing the size chart if necessary. Consider the use of thicker or thinner socks to fine-tune the fit.

Reduced cushioning over time

The midsole cushioning may naturally compress with use. For optimal comfort, consider replacing the shoes after significant mileage (typically 300-500 miles) or when cushioning is noticeably diminished.

Slight discomfort on the first few wears

New shoes can sometimes require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure socks are appropriate for running.

Unusual wear on the outsole

Check your running gait for any specific imbalances. Ensure you are running on appropriate surfaces, as excessive wear on hard, abrasive surfaces can accelerate outsole degradation.
