Product Information
Full details
The Saucony ProGrid V2 is a versatile trainer designed for adults who appreciate a blend of heritage 2000s technical aesthetics and modern comfort. Originally engineered as a high-mileage runner with strength training capabilities, this re-released silhouette offers a stable and supportive ride for everyday wear, though users should note its retro-inspired construction lacks the ultra-plush foam found in contemporary specialized marathon racing shoes.

FAQs
Is the Saucony ProGrid V2 suitable for long-distance running?
While it was originally designed for mileage, modern runners may find it heavier and less cushioned than dedicated long-distance race shoes. It is better suited for light jogging and cross-training.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and synthetic materials. Always opt for manual cleaning with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
Does the ProGrid V2 provide good arch support?
Yes, the design features a structured midsole that provides solid, neutral arch support suitable for most foot types.
Are these true to size?
Yes, the Saucony ProGrid V2 generally fits true to standard adult sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find the silhouette fits snugly.
Can I wear these for weightlifting?
Yes, the firm cushioning and stable build make them a popular choice for gym-goers who prefer a more grounded feel during weight training.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the upper material
Use a shoe tree when not wearing to help the material maintain its shape and minimize permanent fold lines.
Midsole foam feels less responsive over time
Rotate your trainers with another pair to allow the foam to fully decompress for 24 hours between uses.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ProGrid V2 shoes last, keep them away from harsh chemicals and high-heat drying methods, which can compromise the structural integrity of the foam and glue.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the upper; wipe the midsole with a damp cloth and mild soap.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct sunlight or radiators to prevent discoloration and material warping.
- Fit: These trainers fit true to size for most adults, though if you prefer a wider fit for thicker socks, consider half-sizing up if available.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent the moisture-sensitive components from degrading.
