Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit on arrival
Wear the shoes around the house for short periods. The materials will naturally adapt to your foot shape over time. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size.
Reduced cushioning over time
Running shoe cushioning naturally degrades with mileage. Consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles of use, or when you notice a significant decrease in comfort and support.
Discoloration of the vibrant colors
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh cleaning chemicals. Follow the care instructions for cleaning and drying to maintain color vibrancy.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. We recommend trying them on indoors before committing to outdoor use to confirm fit.
Compatibility: The ProGrid Guide 7 is designed as a general running shoe suitable for road running and treadmill use. It is compatible with most standard athletic socks.
Care:
- Cleaning: To clean, use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged direct sunlight, which can cause materials to degrade or warp.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid storing them in damp or humid conditions.
