Product Information
Full details
The Saucony Pro Grid Ride 1 is a versatile, unisex archive trainer designed for individuals who value a blend of 2008 retro aesthetic and modern comfort for daily wear or light exercise. Featuring advanced shock absorption and a breathable mesh design, it offers a stable and comfortable fit for most foot shapes, though users needing heavy-duty motion control for overpronation may find the standard cushioning profile less supportive than specialized clinical footwear.

FAQs
Is the Saucony Pro Grid Ride 1 a unisex model?
Yes, the product is categorized as a unisex trainer, making it suitable for both men and women provided the correct UK size is selected.
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
While they feature shock-absorbing technology, they are designed as versatile everyday trainers. They are best for light exercise rather than competitive long-distance running.
How should I clean the geometric metallic overlays?
Gently wipe them with a damp, soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could strip the metallic finish.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The upper is constructed primarily from polyester, featuring an open-weave hexagonal mesh for ventilation.
Does the shoe provide good arch support?
The webbed shank cage provides moderate midfoot support. If you have specific medical needs for high-arch support, you may wish to consider an aftermarket orthotic insole.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels too tight across the bridge of the foot.
Try a 'window' lacing technique to relieve pressure on the midfoot area while keeping the heel secure.
Accumulated dirt on the mesh upper.
Use a soft brush to gently lift dry mud or dust from the hexagonal weave before wiping with a damp cloth.
Slipping inside the shoe.
Check that the insole is properly seated and consider using a slightly thicker athletic sock to fill out the volume.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent ventilation thanks to the open-weave mesh upper
- Versatile design suitable for both casual fashion and light workouts
- Reliable shock absorption via the integrated Pro Grid system
- Modern, monochromatic aesthetic that pairs well with multiple styles
Cons
- Not intended for high-performance marathon racing or intensive trail running
- The 2008-era design may lack the extreme stability features found in modern medical-grade trainers
- Limited to one specific black and grey colourway
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Pro Grid Ride 1 features a standard lace-up closure, it is easy to customize the fit to your foot's width and arch height. Ensure you wear appropriate athletic socks to maximize the moisture-wicking capabilities of the polyester and mesh materials. For care, avoid machine washing as this can damage the structural integrity of the metallic geometric overlays and the cushioning foam. Instead, wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials. Keep the mesh free of debris by gently brushing it with a soft-bristled brush.
