Product Information
Full details
The Saucony Guide TR GTX is a dedicated hiking shoe engineered for adult men who require reliable performance and protection across challenging trail environments. Its primary benefit is the integration of a Gore-Tex waterproof upper that keeps feet dry in unpredictable weather, though users should note that this added protection may result in slightly reduced breathability compared to non-waterproof trail running shoes.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for road running?
While they can be used on roads, the tread is optimized for trails and the Gore-Tex upper is warmer than standard road shoes, making them less ideal for pure pavement running.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during long hikes.
Does the waterproof membrane wear out?
Like all technical gear, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating on the surface may wear off over time; re-applying a technical spray can help maintain water beading.
Can I replace the insoles with orthotics?
Yes, the provided insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if preferred.
What is the best way to dry them if they get soaked?
Stuff the shoes with newspaper or a dedicated shoe dryer insert and leave them in a well-ventilated area at room temperature.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe despite Gore-Tex
Ensure your pant legs are not channeling water into the collar; consider using gaiters for heavy rain or deep mud.
Feelings of heat or moisture buildup
Wear moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool socks to help manage internal humidity, avoiding thick cotton socks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Saucony Guide TR GTX, start by wearing them for short walks to allow the materials to break in naturally to your foot shape. Keep the lacing tension consistent across all eyelets to maintain a secure lockdown. For care, avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the Gore-Tex membrane. Instead, remove surface dirt with a soft brush and clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the materials from becoming brittle.
