FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for actual running?
The ProGrid Paramount trainers are designed with running DNA but are primarily intended for lifestyle and casual wear. For serious athletic performance, dedicated running shoes may offer more advanced features.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Saucony or consult a shoe measurement guide. Ensure your foot measurement corresponds accurately to the UK size.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and structure of the shoe.
What does 'Y2K design' mean in this context?
Y2K design refers to the fashion trends and aesthetics popular around the year 2000. For these shoes, it means a design inspired by running shoes released during that era, featuring specific materials and silhouettes.
How durable is the open air mesh?
The open air mesh provides excellent breathability but is less resistant to abrasion than solid materials. It is suitable for everyday wear but may be susceptible to snags or tears in rough environments.
What is the difference between this and modern Saucony running shoes?
This model focuses on replicating an authentic retro look. Modern Saucony running shoes typically incorporate advanced cushioning technologies, lighter materials, and specialized support features for performance running.
Where can I find other colourways or sizes?
Information on available colourways and sizes can be found through authorized Saucony retailers or the brand's official website. The product description lists some sibling variants.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If new, break them in gradually by wearing them for short periods. Lacing techniques can also adjust fit.
Mesh appears dirty
Use a damp cloth and mild soap to gently clean the mesh. Do not machine wash.
Insole is uncomfortable
Consider replacing the insoles with a pair that offers more cushioning or support tailored to your needs.
Minor scuffs on materials
For synthetic materials, a magic eraser or damp cloth can often remove light scuffs. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
