Product Information
Full details
The Saucony Ride TR2 GORE-TEX Trainer is designed for adults seeking lightweight, breathable, and waterproof footwear for everyday use. Its key benefit is providing reliable protection against the elements without compromising comfort, thanks to plush cushioning and a grippy outsole. A potential consideration is its specific UK size 5.5 fit, which may require careful sizing checks for optimal comfort. This trainer features PWRRUN+ cushioning for soft landings, a PWRTRAC outsole for superior grip, a cushioned ankle collar, and 3.5mm lugs for enhanced traction.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Saucony Ride TR2 GORE-TEX trainers are designed for everyday use and light activity. While they offer good cushioning and grip, they are not specifically engineered for high-performance running, especially on technical trails.
How do I clean the GORE-TEX material?
GENTLY clean the exterior with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry. Do not use harsh chemicals or machine wash.
Will my feet get hot in these trainers?
The GORE-TEX material is designed to be breathable. However, in very hot and humid conditions, some users may notice less breathability compared to non-waterproof trainers. They are optimized for comfort in a range of temperatures.
What is the main advantage of the GORE-TEX in these trainers?
The primary advantage is keeping your feet dry from external moisture (rain, puddles) while allowing some internal moisture (sweat) to escape, ensuring comfort in wet conditions.
Can I wear these trainers in snow?
Yes, the waterproof nature of the GORE-TEX and the grippy outsole make them suitable for walking in light snow. However, they are not insulated winter boots and may not provide sufficient warmth in very cold temperatures.
How do I check if the UK size 5.5 is the right fit for me?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and there should be no pinching or excessive pressure points.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX
Ensure laces are tied securely to prevent water ingress. Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX membrane. If the issue persists, moisture might be from sweat rather than external sources, indicating a need for moisture-wicking socks.
Traction is reduced on slippery surfaces
Clean the outsole tread to remove any embedded debris that may be hindering grip. The PWRTRAC outsole is designed for good traction, but extreme conditions can still pose a challenge.
Discomfort during wear
Verify you have the correct UK size 5.5 fit. Consider wearing appropriate athletic socks. If discomfort persists, especially on the sides, the trainers may be too narrow for your foot shape.
