Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Saucony Guide TR trainers, follow these maintenance tips:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for shorter walks or easy runs before committing to a long-distance effort to allow the cushioning to adapt to your foot strike.
- Cleaning: After use on trails, brush off dry dirt and mud with a soft-bristled brush. If deeper cleaning is needed, use cold water and a mild soap; avoid soaking the shoes or using a washing machine, as high heat can damage the foam properties.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally by removing the insoles and placing them in a cool, ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight or heaters, which can cause the midsole foam to warp or degrade.
- Rotation: If you run daily, consider rotating with another pair of shoes to allow the foam to fully decompress between runs, extending the lifespan of the cushioning.
