FAQs

What is the 'Hi Octane' edition inspired by?

The 'Hi Octane' edition draws inspiration from the aesthetics of extreme sports such as boxing, wrestling, and motocross, aiming to capture a raw, energetic, and unapologetic attitude.

Are these shoes suitable for all types of running?

The ProGrid Guide 7 is designed to offer a foundation of protection and comfort, making it suitable for general running and training. For highly specialized running disciplines (e.g., trail running, racing flats), specific footwear might be more appropriate.

How should I clean the yellow fabric and accents?

Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth for cleaning. For stubborn marks, a very mild soap diluted in water can be applied carefully with a cloth, then wiped clean with another damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

What does 'running DNA' refer to in the product description?

'Running DNA' refers to the core principles, design elements, and heritage of Saucony's running shoe technology and innovation, particularly from earlier successful models.

Can these shoes be worn for activities other than running?

Yes, while designed for running, their comfort and unique style make them suitable for casual wear and other light athletic activities where a supportive shoe is desired.

What is the main difference between this re-release and the original model?

This re-release maintains the core foundation of protection and comfort while updating the aesthetic with the 'Hi Octane' theme, drawing from early 2000s trends and extreme sports culture for a fresh look.

What is the typical lifespan of these trainers?

The lifespan of running shoes varies based on usage, terrain, and individual biomechanics. Generally, they are expected to last between 300 to 500 miles before the cushioning and support significantly degrade.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct UK size. Try wearing them with different types of running socks. Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring an even fit across the foot.

Exterior material is dirty

Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently clean the affected area. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth.

Reduced cushioning or support over time

Running shoes naturally lose cushioning after a certain mileage. Consider replacing the shoes if you notice a significant decrease in comfort and support, typically after 300-500 miles of use.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: For minor dirt, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to wipe down the exterior. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It's recommended to store them in a shoe bag or box to protect them from dust and damage.
